Netflix Upfront 2024; Hulu's Only Murders in the Building Returns for Season 4 in August

At Netflix's second Upfront presentation to advertisers, the message was clear: When you advertise with Netflix, you can reach the most engaged audience in the world. Netflix announced new series, including witty comedies like GOLF, starring Will Ferrell and executive produced by Ramy Youssef and Rian Johnson, and Running Point, starring Kate Hudson and executive produced by Mindy Kaling.

Two new dramas will also be coming to Netflix: The Waterfront from Kevin Williamson, an adult family drama set in a small coastal town with twists and turns inspired by true events, and a contemporary cowboy saga starring Tim McGraw. And, they announced that the critically acclaimed series 3 Body Problem will also be back for all new episodes. For sports fans, Netflix highlighted multiple new shows, including a new documentary series following the story of Jerry Jones and the 1990s Dallas Cowboys, and three series in partnership with the International Olympic Committee: Simone Biles: Rising which will follow the comeback of the greatest gymnast ever, a show spotlighting men's basketball teams from around the world as they compete for medals, and Sprint, tracking the 100-meter sprinters.

New films announced include Happy Gilmore 2 starring Adam Sandler, The Woman in Cabin 10 based on the bestselling novel of the same name and starring Keira Knightley, and a new film from Academy Award(R) winner Kathryn Bigelow. And the NFL is coming to Netflix. That's right, Netflix will be the global home of the NFL's two Christmas Day marquee games this year. And we'll be streaming at least one Christmas Day game in 2025 and 2026.
