‘Maid’ For Netflix!

Beau de Zwager has booked a role in episode #109 of Netflix’s upcoming series, ‘Maid‘.

Maid is an upcoming Netflix “dramedy” coming to our screens in 2021. Maid will adapt Stephanie Land’s best-selling memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive.

The new series is created by John Wells (who is working on a first look output deal with Warner Brothers TV) and Molly Smith Metzler who both worked on Showtime’s Shameless. They’ll be working along with Margot Robbie and her production company LuckyChap Entertainment, Molly Metzler will serve as writer, producer, and showrunner for the limited series, while John Wells will serve as the director.

The series was first announced by Netflix back in November 2019.

In her late twenties Land had her first child, became a single mother and started working at a maid service to try and make ends meet. The next several years she spend below the poverty line and relied on several welfare programs to support her family. All of those problems made worse by the fact that after a car accident when she was 16, Land had suffered from PTSD. Land’s struggles led her to start writing about issues of poverty and public policy.

Executive producer John Wells offered his comments about working on Maid in a statement:
“Stephanie tells the searing and remarkably human story of a young woman battling to find a secure future for herself and her infant daughter, Mia, in the face of overwhelming odds and governmental assistance programs of impossible complexity.”

Channing Dungey, vice president of original series at Netflix, commented on the importance and relevance of this story:

Maid is a poignant portrait that chronicles Stephanie Land’s strife and victories, and has the power to connect with our members around the world as they identify with her struggles and root for her success.”

It was announced that The Leftovers and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star Margaret Qualley will be the series lead for Maid. Qualley will play Alex, a single mother who turns to housekeeping to try and make ends meet as she battles against poverty, homelessness, and bureaucracy.

Along with Margaret Qualley, the Maid cast will feature Nick Robinson (Jurassic World) and Anika Noni Rose (The Princess and the Frog, The Good Wife).

We should be expecting Maid to be released on Netflix by the end of 2021.

Netflix has given a series order to Maid, a female-driven dramedy inspired by Stephanie Land’s New York Times best-selling memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive.

Written by Metzler, Maid will chronicle a single mother who turns to housekeeping to — barely — make ends meet as she battles against poverty, homelessness, and bureaucracy. Told primarily through her point of view, Maid will be a beautiful, alive, gritty and inspiring exploration of poverty in America.

“Stephanie tells the searing and remarkably human story of a young woman battling to find a secure future for herself and her infant daughter, Mia, in the face of overwhelming odds and governmental assistance programs of impossible complexity.

Metzler executive produces and also will serve as showrunner.

In Season 2, a new power struggle emerges, causing a dangerous rift as people are divided between their loyalty to Layton and to Mr. Wilford, who has a new train, new technology and a game plan that keeps everyone guessing. While Layton battles Wilford for the soul of Snowpiercer, Melanie leads the charge on a shocking new discovery that could change the fate of humanity.

Snowpiercer is based on both the 2013 South Korean–Czech film of the same name, directed by Bong Joon-ho, and the 1982 French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, from which the film was adapted, by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand, and Jean-Marc Rochette.

The dystopian drama follows the survivors of a cataclysmic weather event who are rigidly separated into classes on a 1,001-car, high-speed train that endlessly circles a frozen world.

The political environment and the questions that are being raised in the show, reflect questions we are asking ourselves now in terms of how we run a just society, how democracy works, where it doesn’t work, themes of social justice and injustice. A lot of those things in the current milieu are reflected in the show.

Snowpiercer Season 2 is set to start on Monday, January 25 in the U.S., with the first episode “The Time of Two Engines“.

Episodes are then set to air weekly – Season 2 airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on TNT and Tuesdays on Netflix.

Episodes will also be available to watch online on the network on demand for TNT cable subscribers.

“To All the Boys: Always and Forever,” the third and final film in the popular trilogy based on Jenny Han’s young-adult novels upcoming Netflix film will be streaming Just in time for Valentine’s Day, On Friday Feb. 12 2021.

Director Michael Fimognari’s latest “To All the Boys” film, finds Lara Jean transitioning to adulthood and planning for what’s to come. She and her boyfriend Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) dream of attending Stanford together, though when plans have to change, Lara Jean is forced to weigh what she feels is most important for her own life.

The first two “To All the Boys” films revolved around Lara Jean’s relationships with the guys she likes, Condor says, but in the new movie “it’s really cool to kind of see her start to think about her future as an independent woman, regardless of whether or not maybe her relationships are going to follow with her.”

Lara Jean, Peter and their friends – including her BFF Christine (Madeleine Arthur) and Peter’s bud Trevor (Ross Butler) – take a senior trip to New York City (which for Lara Jean means checking out NYU) and also go to prom. The movie begins, however, with Condor’s favorite part: a life-changing trip for Lara Jean to Seoul with her dad (John Corbett) and sisters Margot (Janel Parrish) and Kitty (Anna Cathcart) to learn where she’s from and more about her late mom.

Always and Forever stars Lana Condor as Lara Jean, Noah Centineo as Peter, Anna Cathcart as Kitty, Janel Parrish as Margot, John Corbett as Dr. Dan Covey, Madeleine Arthur as Christine, Ross Butler as Trevor, Emilija Baranac as Genevieve, Sarayu Rao as Trina and Trezzo Mahoro as Lucas. Each will be reprising roles from previous films in the series.

Lana Condor (as “Lara Jean”) and Madeleine Arthur (as “Christine”) visit New York.
