Trailer Watch: Netflix’s ‘GLOW,’ ‘13 Reasons Why’ & ‘Mindhunter’

Lest we forget that Netflix is hellbent on us never leaving our couch, the streaming giant has released a trailer and two date announcements for three brand new original series. And, lest we forget that Netflix is also hellbent on world domination, the announcement came out of a multi-slate media event in Berlin, Germany where even more series, movies, and stand-up specials where announced geared specifically for local European markets.

The new series coming soon to our shores include:

‘13 Reasons Why’ – March 31

Selena Gomez is getting into TV! The pop singer is making her executive producing debut with this fitting YA entry. “13 Reasons Why” follows high schooler Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) who finds a mysterious box on his porch one day after school.

If this holds onto any of that original “GLOW” greatness, things are gonna get hilariously weird.

‘Mindhunter’ – October

Less can be gleaned about this presumed psychological thriller from the 1-minute teaser, but we do know it’s Netflix’s second run with director David Fincher, who brought to life their first hit series “House of Cards”; that it stars Jonathan Groff (“Looking”), Holt McCallanay (“Sully”), Anna Torv (“Fringe”) and Hannah Gross (“Unless”); and we saw a lot of wounded butterflies in that blood-spattered Rorschach test, so we may need to go get our heads checked…
