Patrick Mahomes is easily the best quarterback in the entire NFL. At this point, you simply cannot deny this to be true. Overall, he has won two Super Bowls, has been to three, and even has two MVP trophies. Moreover, he already has a season in which he threw for 50 touchdowns. These numbers are simply astronomical, and we cannot wait to see how Mahomes develops. At this point, he is a star on the same trajectory as guys like Tom Brady and Joe Montana. Even if you hate the Chiefs, it is hard to hate Mahomes.
Subsequently, Mahomes is set to become the face of the entire league. With that being said, it only makes sense that the NFL would want to market Mahomes in every way possible. As it turns out, that is exactly what they are set to do with a new Netflix project. This project was developed by NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and even 2PM Productions, according to Ian Rapoport. Fittingly, this new project is called Quarterback.
Patrick Mahomes x Netflix
The entire premise of the show is quite simple. If you have seen Formula 1: Drive To Survive, you will get it right away. Basically, Netflix mic’d up three quarterbacks throughout the entire season. These QBs include Mahomes, Marcus Mariota, and even Kirk Cousins. Overall, the only one who had a compelling season is Mahomes. If you are a Falcons or Vikings fan, you will probably want to forget that the 2022 season even existed. That said, this promises to be a very interesting show that details the day-to-day existence of a quarterback who plays in the National Football League.
So far, very little else is known about the project. Given this season is finished already, one would assume that the first season of the docuseries will come this year. Perhaps even before training camp starts up again. Netflix has given us plenty of amazing Docuseries’ in the past, so we hope this is more of the same. Let us know what you think of the premise, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.
Netflix has announced the release date for Grammy-nominated, Oscar and Golden Globe award-winning actor and comedian Mo’Nique’s first stand-up special with the streamer. The special, My Name is Mo’Nique, is set for release on April 4.
The special’s synopsis reads:
Mo’Nique delivers a career defining, powerhouse stand-up performance in her unprecedented return to the stage. Filled with laugh till you cry stories as well as soul bearing emotion, Mo’Nique promises that by the end of the show you will understand why she is the way she is, and true to form, she delivers. From the mean streets of Baltimore and remembering her Grandma Mimi’s warnings about men, to why she “ACCEPTS” the sometimes-harsh realities that come with life, Mo’Nique with her unique brand of candor, fearlessness, and humor reveals all of herself, and leaves nothing on the table.
The special is directed by L. Frazier, with Sidney Hicks and Monique Hicks serving as executive producers.
Additionally, Mo’Nique will return to Netflix in the film The Deliverance, created by Lee Daniels.
In October 2020, Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn announced that the band had a movie in the works. The English group confirmed that they had “signed contracts” with Netflix just a year later, according to NME. With co-creator Jamie Hewlett pioneering the iconic cartoons that represent the band, the project was to be an animated movie using Gorillaz’s branded characters.
Unfortunately, Albarn confirmed in an interview with HUMO that “it will never happen.” Netflix has allegedly canceled the film due to cutbacks in the network’s animation department. The 54-year-old musician explained the situation bluntly. “The streaming platform for which we were making the film has withdrawn,” he said. “They started to panic because they were making too much content and decided to cut back on their movie offerings.”
Gorillaz’s Iconic Characters Get The Boot
Albarn continued to throw shade on the “classic Hollywood practice.” The English-Icelandic singer reflected on how the Netflix representative the band was working with had left the company. “From then on you have lost your guardian angel, and there seems to be a bad smell hanging on you,” he began. “Hollywood is quite territorial: if a new guy comes along, he must and will have a different opinion, even if he secretly agrees with his predecessor.”
When Albarn initially announced the project, he spoke with Apple Music enthusiastically. “I’m at Netflix because we’re making a full-length Gorillaz film,” he told the streaming service. “Yeah, we’re having a writing session in Malibu this afternoon. It’s really exciting to do that. It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. It’s been through so many incarnations…this Gorillaz doing a movie. Honestly.”
Gorillaz Not Giving Up, Despite Cancellation
Despite the disappointing setbacks of their movie, the band will be releasing its eighth studio album, “Cracker Island” on Friday (February 24th). Although we won’t be seeing the Gorillaz characters on our Netflix screens, the band dropped their “Silent Running” single featuring Adeleye Omotayo earlier this month. Check out the music video for that above. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news on your favorite hip hop artists.

We all know that Cardi B is obsessed with the Netflix hit, You, starring Penn Badgley. Part one of season four has been released, and it is quickly spiking in popularity again. It’s the streaming platform’s number-one TV show in the United States. Cardi B has made it known that she’s an avid viewer. On Thursday evening, she uploaded a new profile picture on Twitter. Is it Cardi at an event? Is it a fire selfie? No. It’s Penn Badgley’s face as Joe Goldberg staring from a window.
This season, the show gave her an impressive nod, using her song with J Balvin and Bad Bunny, “I Like It,” during a rather gory scene from the first episode. In the scene, Joe Goldberg (now Jonathan Moore, a London-based professor) hauls a dead body into a sawmill and cuts it into far too many pieces. It’s an interesting choice for the episode, but it definitely adds an extra level of hilarity to the situation, lightening the gruesome task that Joe is partaking in. Music is Cardi B’s obvious priority, but she played quite the role in Hustlers. Maybe acting is in her future. If it is, she would obviously love to be on You.
Cardi B Posts
This is not the first time that Cardi B and Penn Badgley connected online. In 2019, Badgley mentioned the popular performer at the event “In Conversation with YOU.” He praised her for her connection with her fans, saying, “To me, [social media] is this incredibly nuanced place to be, and despite what many might judge as antics, I feel she has an incredibly authentic relationship to that, and I think that’s why people like her so much.”
Cardi understandably freaked out over the praise. Upon hearing about it, she tweeted “OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME !!!OMMMGGGG!!!!!!Yoooo like I’m famous famous.” She changed her profile to a photo of him back then, as well. At the time, Badgley’s response was to make Cardi his profile photo. Additionally, prior to the release of Season 3, Joe Goldberg himself sent Cardi a personal package of goodies. She shared that on Twitter, as well.
Everybody’s talking about the new season of Netflix original series, You. One of the show’s biggest fans is rapper Cardi B.
Today, the “Up” hitmaker changed her Twitter avatar back to a picture of Penn Badgley’s character, Joe Goldberg, on the heels of the show’s fourth season.
This isn’t the first time Cardi has expressed her fandom over You either. In 2021, for the show’s third season, she switched her profile pic to Joe peeping out the window — and Badgley followed suit by switching his to the Bronx rapper. She also received a PR package with blue baseball cap, matching that of character Joe, with text reading “HELLO, YOU…”
A month earlier, Badgley appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he lauded Cardi’s social media savvy. Cardi later shared a clip from the episode, expressing her elation, saying, “OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME!!!”
OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME !!!OMMMGGGG!!!!!!Yoooo like I’m famous famous https://t.co/Z7MFQc2t2i
Netflix then changed their Twitter bio to read “Petition to get Cardi B to guest star in Season 4 of You!,” which prompted the rapper to pitch an idea for the episode.
“So it’s episode 1 and I’m at Paris Fashion week shutting it down! I turn around and there stands YOU,” she said.

On Wednesday, Netflix shared its new password-sharing guidelines. The streaming service will first implement these rules and fees for users in Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. The streaming company said that users in those countries will be asked to set a “primary location” for their Netflix account. They can establish two “sub accounts” for users who do not live at the primary location. However, there will be an implemented monthly fee per sub account. Canada’s monthly fee will be CA$7.99. New Zealand’s monthly fee will be NZ$7.99. Portugal’s monthly fee will be 3.99 euros. Finally, Spain’s monthly fee will be 5.99 euros.
According to Netflix’s director of product innovation, Chengyi Long, ““Today, over 100 million households are sharing accounts — impacting our ability to invest in great new TV and films.” The company is testing its new policies before the expected domestic launch of them in the United States in March 2023. The price in Canada (CA$7.99) could forecast what it will ultimately charge in the program’s U.S. debut.
Netflix Password Sharing
Netflix’s Wednesday announcement will roll out immediately, along with a new “Manage Access and Devices” page. This will give users permission to curate who has access to their designated accounts. Users who wish to save the additional monthly fee for “sub accounts” will be able to transfer profiles to new accounts made by those who previously had access. The transferred profiles will maintain all personalizations, recommendations, lists, and viewing history from the original account.
According to Netflix, they will revisit and refine the new account management page based on user feedback from the four countries that will serve as a testing ground. Netflix has decided to make this change due to a huge hit in subscriber numbers for its fourth quarter. This lack of subscriber growth was particularly pertinent in the United States-Canada region of users. This announcement also comes after it was announced that former Netflix CEO, Reed Hastings, would step down from the position. Let us know what you think of this decision, down below.

The two acclaimed artists are now co-creators of Netflix’s […]
If there’s any platform that has an undeniably impressive selection of original content, it’s Netflix. Over the years, the streaming service has created various fan-favourite shows and movies, though not all of them get the attention and respect they deserve. Of course, nothing lasts forever, but users certainly didn’t think we’d be seeing the end of Inside Job so early.
If you’re not familiar, the animated adult series is a conspiracy comedy that’s been markedly described as “a sendup of the ’90s sci-fi drama, ‘The X Files.’” Voice actors attached to the project include Lizzy Caplan and Christian Slater, as well as Clark Duke. It initially debuted in October of 2021, with the following eight episodes landing last November.
As per Deadline, the show chiefly takes place in the offices of Cognito Inc. The organization further exists within a shadow government, and our main characters are anti-social tech nerd Reagan Ridley and her pal Brett Hand. Together, they work to eventually uncover the infinite secrets of the world “hidden in the shadows.”
A second season of Inside Job was previously green-lit in the summer after much success. However, it appears the streamer has since changed its tune on the project, and will no longer be moving forward with new episodes.
The sad news was correspondingly confirmed by creator and showrunner Shion Takeuchi on Sunday night via Twitter. “I’m so heartbroken to confirm that Netflix has decided to cancel season two of ‘Inside Job,’” she told fans in her post.
“Over the years, these characters have become real people to me. I’m devastated not to be able to watch them grow up,” she later added.
Almost immediately, social media users consequently let their distaste for the decision well known. Across hundreds of tweets, they’ve specifically threatened to “never forgive” Netflix. Some are even joking about visiting the platform’s HQ to “talk,” with weapons in tow.
Check out Twitter’s reaction to the upsetting cancellation below. Afterward, tell us if you were looking forward to Inside Job season two in the comments.
Ludacris has been living his best life in recent years. After taking a break from music, the Atlanta bred star took his talents to the big screen and behind the camera.
As 2022 comes to an end, the “Move” rapper penned a motivational message for fans while lounging in a hot tub in the snow. “Cheers to 2023,” he shared. “Wishing everybody love, peace, happiness, and challenging y’all to do some new sh*t in the new year that you ain’t never did before. I love y’all. Cheers.” The caption reads: “Let The Past Be The PAST.”
Ludacris is jo stranger to trying to new things. Earlier this year, he earned an honorary Bachelor of Science in Music Management degree at Georgia State University. He also made a seamless switch from rapping to acting when many people doubted his abilities. “When you come into it as a rapper,” he told Las Vegas Weekly, “people have a certain idea about you in the first place. So you have to go hard to not be looked at as some form of your regular everyday character.”
Last year, he created an animated series based on his eldest daughter, Karma. The Netflix series is based on real-life situations that Karma actually went through and tackles topics like self esteem. No stranger to encouraging others, Luda gave his 21-year old daughter advice on embracing her unique qualities as a young, Black girl.
“[I told her] there’s a creator that made us all with unique qualities, and you have to embrace those qualities — and that she comes from a long lineage of strong Black hair.”
As for his acting career, Luda says he likes to challenge people’s expectations of him. “I like to do the opposite of what people expect me to do” he told Las Vegas Weekly. “And I love doing that and continuing to grow and expand my acting résumé.” Check out Luda’s end of the year inspo below.
