Actor Cleo Anthony: Netflix Promotes Shows Differently Than Cable TV
Spike Lee is bringing his 1986 movie "She's Gotta Have It" to Netflix in a new form. The original series is a contemporary update on the indie classic. Cheddar Anchors Baker Machado and Hope King spoke with one of the series' stars, Cleo Anthony.
Anthony says he learned a lot from working directly with Lee on this project, and shared how much he appreciates the freedom Netflix gives its creators.
On Tuesday, Netflix released a poll in partnership with SurveyMonkey about the places viewers binge watch the platform. Some 67 percent say they binge-watch Netflix in public places such as airplanes, public restrooms, work, and cafes. Anthony says his favorite place to binge watch is in the car.
"She's Gotta Have It" premieres on Netflix Thanksgiving Day.
Pieter Vanerman, CEO of Spin, joined Cheddar News to discuss the ping-pong franchise, which has nine locations around the U.S. and two in New York City, and also dived into how the business operates, showed what's on the menu and what you can expect when you visit.
“This truly is The One Where Our Hearts Are Broken,” “Friends” co-creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, along with executive producer Kevin Bright, said in a joint statement Sunday.
