- So far, Netflix has been pretty unstoppable during the coronavirus pandemic, when most TV and movie productions have been forced to shut down and we’re all stuck at home with nothing but time.
- In recent days, for example, the streamer debuted Extraction, a new Netflix original movie starring Chris Hemsworth and produced by the Russo brothers of Avengers: Endgame fame — and Netflix claims some 90 million households have already watched at least part of the movie.
- On the TV front, one of the hottest new series on Netflix right now is Outer Banks, per new data from Reelgood.

It’s been described as Ozark meets The O.C. That’s certainly one way to put it, in case you haven’t yet checked out Outer Banks — the umpteenth Netflix original to debut on the streamer this year, never mind the global pandemic raging outside, and the latest in what’s been a string of super-buzzy projects from Netflix since January.
So far in 2020, Netflix has given us series like The Circle, Tiger King, Too Hot to Handle, new seasons of Ozark and Money Heist, and now this. If you’ve got a teen in your household, there’s a pretty good chance they’ve already been raving about this new series that debuted on April 15 and which Netflix’s official description summarizes as follows: “Outer Banks is a coming of age story that follows a tight-knit group of local teens (the “Pogues”) in the beach vacation destination of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. When a hurricane kills the power for the summer season, it sets off a chain of illicit events that force the friends to make life-altering decisions.”
