Netflix is one of the largest streaming services, and, aside from having other licensed titles on its platform, it has also created a name as a studio. Its titles often feature high-profile actors, and despite some of them not often enchanting both the critics and the audience, the streamer has had an amazing few months.

One of the titles that received major success recently is Cameron Diaz's Back in Action. The action comedy, which stars Diaz and Jamie Foxx as retired spies, also comes with a tongue-in-cheek reference to the actress' long break from acting. Per Tudum, the break didn't stop her from continuing to be one of the biggest action stars, as Back in Action joined Netflix's prestigious Most Popular Movies list.

Diaz's last film was 2014's Annie, and then she took a break to focus on her personal life. Her co-star, Foxx, persuaded her to come back to acting,...

Netflix’s latest action-comedy movie, Back in Action, has made waves, breaking into the Most Popular Films list at No. 8 with a massive 138.3 million views. The movie marks Cameron Diaz’s long-awaited return to the screen, reuniting with Jamie Foxx in a high-energy spy flick directed by Seth Gordon. The story follows former CIA spies Emily and Matt, forced out of retirement when their secret identities are compromised, throwing them into a whirlwind of action, espionage, and humor.

Back in Action: Action-Packed Entertainment with Star Power

For fans of action-packed thrillers, Back in Action delivers plenty of car chases, shootouts, and undercover missions, blended with lighthearted comedy. Diaz and Foxx bring undeniable chemistry, and their charm carries much of the film. With an impressive supporting cast—including Andrew Scott, Jamie Demetriou, Kyle Chandler, and Glenn Close—the movie boasts a mix of veteran talent and fresh faces.

Actor and filmmaker Jonah Hill will star and direct in the upcoming studio comedy Cut Off, expected to enter production later this year.

Jonah Hill has signed up to make Cut Off for Warner Bros, a studio comedy that is expected to begin production later this year after obtaining $10m worth of Californian tax credits. The project is in the fairly early stages of pre-production, having not yet assembled its cast. It marks the return of Hill to the director’s chair following Mid90s and Stultz.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is set to focus ‘on a pair of fraternal twins whose wealthy parents stop supporting them financially’ which sounds like a narrative conceit ripe for laughs. There’s no word as yet as to whether Hill will play both twins of if the film will be taking the Schwarzenegger/DeVito approach to casting.

This week on Netflix’s Top 10, viewers binge-watched everything from high-stakes sci-fi to gritty crime thrillers — with a few surprises in between. Let’s break down what’s buzzing.

The Electric State Zaps the Competition

Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown teamed up for The Electric State, a sci-fi adventure that just dominated the English films chart with 25.2 million views. Directed by the Russo Brothers (Avengers: Endgame), this flick—based on Simon Stålenhag’s surreal graphic novel—marks Brown’s third Netflix No. 1 debut (after Enola Holmes 2 and Damsel). Fans worldwide plugged into its retro-futuristic vibe, landing it the top spot in 47 countries. Fun fact: The movie’s neon-drenched robots and dystopian landscapes took over two years to design!

The new Cameron Diaz movie has become a global streaming sensation. The American actor became an A-list star off the back of prominent romantic comedies from the late 1990s, including My Best Friend's Wedding (in which she played Julia Roberts' romantic rival) and There's Something About Mary (in which she played the title role opposite Ben Stiller). She has also taken on major projects in other genres, including starring in 2000's Charlie's Angels and its 2003 sequel Full Throttle, as well as voicing Princess Fiona in DreamWorks' animated Shrek franchise.

However, for a full decade between 2014 and 2024, she starred in no movies at all. Cameron Diaz retired from acting, with her final project until 2025 being the 2014 remake of Annie starring Quvenzhané Wallis and Jamie Foxx. She spent that decade focusing on her family, working to "reclaim" her life, and working in the wellness space, including launching an organic wine brand and publishing The Longevity Book.

Gwyneth Paltrow calls Marty Supreme her first serious acting role in years. Marty Supreme is an upcoming semi-biographical comedy directed by Josh Safdie, half of the now-dissolved directing duo the Safdie Brothers. The film will feature Timothée Chalamet as a professional table tennis player named Marty Mauser, who is pursuing greatness. Paltrow will star opposite Chalamet in a cast that includes Sandra Bernhard, Fran Drescher, Odessa A'zion, and Tyler the Creator. The film is set for release on December 25.

Speaking with Vanity Fair, Paltrow discusses acting in Marty Supreme. The actor notes that she feels that Marty Supreme gave her her first highly dramatic acting role since 2010's Country Strong. She also quotes advice from actor and friend Cameron Diaz, who encouraged Paltrow to think about "deepening [her] life." Safdie also notes that he thinks Paltrow's "absence from acting has lent a vulnerability to her abilities." Check out the full quote...

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) is planning to restructure the Social Security Administration’s phone support services in a move that could force millions of seniors to require in-person services from the already understaffed agency.

In reality, Social Security fraud is quite rare, affecting less...

Gwyneth Paltrow spoke to Vanity Fair as part of a new cover story and pulled back the curtain a bit on her big return to acting later this year in Josh Safdie’s “Marty Supreme.” The A24 film stars Timothée Chalamet as a ping pong protégé competing overseas. Paltrow revealed for the first time she is starring as the wife of a rival professional who falls into bed with Chalamet’s star.

“This woman who is married to someone who is in the Ping-Pong mafia, as it were,” Paltrow explained. “They meet and she’s had a pretty tough life, and I think he breathes life back into her, but it’s kind of transactional for them both.”

“Marty Supreme” went viral during production after set paparazzi took photos of Chalamet and Paltrow making out while filming a scene. According to Paltrow, the two co-stars will be getting even...

While Netflix's slick but empty "The Electric State" has added to an already bleak streaming landscape, Jake Gyllenhaal is having nothing short of a streaming renaissance. Gyllenhaal's creepy sci-fi horror "Life" is a hit on Prime Video at the same time his and Michael Peña's action thriller is crushing it over on Max. Now, yet another Gyllenhaal-led thriller is ascending the Netflix charts, meaning the actor has claimed a spot in the rankings of the biggest streamer in the game at the same time he's dominating rival platforms — though he's had a bit of help with his latest streaming triumph.

2015's "Everest" is a survival thriller based on the real 1996 Mount Everest disaster that saw eight climbers lose their lives while trying to reach the highest point on Earth. The movie follows two expedition groups who are hit by a freak storm on their way to the top of the titular mountain.

After about a decade away from the entertainment business, Cameron Diaz returned to acting through her Netflix film Back in Action. Since 2014, the actress has devoted her time to her personal life, founding a wine company, getting married, and finally becoming a mother.

A largely unknown cop thriller series has found surprising success on streaming. Released just last month, the police procedural On Call has seen audiences flock to the show to check out the latest take on this well-worn serial genre, with the series leaning into reliable cliché as it follows a rookie and a veteran as they attempt to navigate the morality of their job while protecting and serving in Long Beach, California.

Shonen anime is one of the most popular genres of anime, and it earned that popularity largely from the legendary anime that paved the way back in the 1990s. Many anime at the forefront of discussions today are from the '90s, whether it be Dragon Ball or JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, which was revived with a remake in 2012. What makes many shonen anime stand out is the fights.

Fights are the core of any good shonen anime, which can either make or break one’s viewing experience if the action is lacking in any way. When scoping through the golden age of shonen anime from the '90s, some shonen anime, in particular, had iconic arcs with amazing fights that had fans pleading for more.

Move over Winnie-the-Pooh, there's a new public domain killer on the loose, and his name is Steamboat Willie. The beloved Disney character is getting the horror treatment thanks to Terrifier franchise producers in the new film Screamboat, which also features Art the Clown actor David Howard Thornton as the killer mouse. The official red-band trailer for the horror flick directed by Steven Lamorte was recently released (seen below), and it showcases all the gory carnage we can expect when the film hits theaters on April 12.

"Welcome aboard the Staten Island Ferry," the trailer begins before we're presented with one of the biggest horror tropes ever: the doomsday defeatist. "This boat is cursed," the man says. "We're all going to die!" From there, we see the cast of Screamboat that inevitably gets picked off one-by-one by a shrunk-down Thornton, who portrays the character first made famous by Disney in 1928, and entered the public domain on Jan.

Anyone who’s ever been skeptical about the safety of capitalizing on cryptocurrency will have their worst suspicions confirmed by “Cold Wallet,” a shrewd and suspenseful thriller about three would-be working-class vigilantes determined to retrieve their investments from an amoral scammer. Right from the start, director Cutter Hodierne develops a rooting interest in his self-styled avengers, even as (also right from the start) it’s clear that they are in way, way over their heads and sinking lower as the plot progresses.

We’re introduced to Billy (Raúl Castillo), an underemployed screw-up, while he loudly proclaims to other customers in a Berkshires karaoke bar that he’s been “following crypto since that Game Stop thing,” and brags that his investment in a currency called Tulip is going nowhere but up. But it really isn’t, much to his shock after he promises his young daughter (Joanna Sylvie Weinig) that he...

The world of Shrek may have last released an installment almost a decade and a half ago, but it is barely done yet. This is because the franchise is all set to return to the screens as it prepares to deliver yet another entertaining installment to fans soon.

For whatever reason, Sony became convinced that crafting an entire franchise set in the Spider-Man universe without featuring the webslinger himself was a good idea. In fairness, Kevin Feige and the folks at Marvel Studios did create the most successful box office franchise in history by taking lesser-known characters and giving them the A-list character treatment. But the key thing there was that those early Marvel Cinematic Universe films were actually pretty good. At the least, they were solid blockbuster entertainment. Sony, on the other hand, has pumped out a string of truly bewildering films based on the Marvel characters to which it owns the rights.

"Morbius," for example, became nothing short of a joke upon its 2022 release, with Sony then trying to double down on that joke with a theatrical re-release that also flopped. Just in case the studio hadn't already doomed its then lamentably-titled "Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters (Spumc)," Sony delivered,...

This is not a drill! It's been a long, long time since audiences have taken a trip to Far, Far Away but "Shrek 5" is going to bring us back there next year. As evidence of that, DreamWorks has released the first, brief teaser for the long-awaited sequel -- one that introduces us to the cast. Most of them are familiar faces but there is one new, very important addition: Welcome to the family, Zendaya.

While the above teaser doesn't make it explicitly clear who the star of "Dune" and "Challengers" is playing in the film, the folks at The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that she is voicing the daughter of Shrek and Fiona. The teaser also confirms that Mike Myers (Shrek), Cameron Diaz (Fiona), and Eddie Murphy (Donkey) are also reprising their famous roles. Diaz's inclusion is not insignificant, seeing as she walked away from Hollywood for years...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for On Call Season 1.] There are a couple of blindsides in the On Call Season 1 finale, which does a great job of setting up hopefully more to come. First, Harmon (Troian Bellisario) is surprised when she doesn’t get a position she’d been hoping for — and the person who keeps her from doing so is not the one she expected. Then, her rookie, Diaz (Brandon Larracuente), finds out that his future’s going to look a bit different than he thought. Below, stars Bellisario, Larracuente, Eriq La Salle (also an executive producer and director), and Lori Loughlin, and executive producers Elliot Wolf and Tim Walsh break down the finale (streaming now on Prime Video) and tease what could be ahead, should the show be renewed.

Officer Holt suddenly disappears after an incident in On Call's episode 3, making it hard not to wonder what happened to him. Introduced in the Amazon Prime Video detective show's opening episode, Holt is portrayed as a rookie officer in the Long Beach police department. Unlike Troian Bellisario's Officer Harmon and Brandon Larracuente's Officer Diaz, he is not one of the primary characters in On Call. However, he plays a crucial role in making Diaz a little concerned about his collaboration with Harmon by spreading rumors about Harmon's involvement in another officer's termination from the police force.

Throughout On Call's first three episodes, Holt also appears time and again as Harmon and Diaz deal with the day-to-day crimes in their neighborhood while trying to find Delgado's killer. However, Holt's journey reaches...

Prime Video's police drama On Call is something different, and not just because of its unique visual style. The series offers up a perspective that isn't found in other scripted procedurals, as well as a cast that sets a different tone than similar shows. It's almost hard to believe that the series hails from Wolf Entertainment, which is the most recognizable procedural brand in television -- including the Law & Order, One Chicago and FBI franchises.

In an interview with Cbr, On Call co-creators and executive producers Eliot Wolf and Tim Walsh talked about moving Wolf Entertainment into the streaming world for the first time. They also spoke about the expectations created by that brand name, and how they factored those in when developing the series. And with the first season now in the hands of audiences, what did they love most about the show?

Smokey's connection with East Barrio and Officer Harmon triggers the primary conflict in On Call, paving the way for the show's exploration of themes surrounding loyalty, revenge, and justice. Created by Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf, On Call focuses on the crime-solving endeavors of two police officers, Harmon and Diaz, who have a mentor-trainee relationship. Throughout the Amazon Prime Video detective show's runtime, Harmon and Diaz find themselves dealing with myriad criminal activities, forcing them to navigate the murky waters of upholding the law and confronting complex moral decisions.

Although On Call walks through a new set of side stories in each episode, it has an overarching storyline, driven by Harmon's ties with a former convict named Smokey. The more the show progresses, the more it becomes evident that Harmon's connection with Smokey is a complicated and dangerous entanglement for both parties.

Alex Diaz's imprisoned brother in On Call lands in trouble after Diaz and Harmon take down a killer, raising questions about why Diaz's brother was in prison in the first place. In On Call's overarching storyline, Alex Diaz's brother has a relatively small role and barely shows up for a few seconds on the screen when Alex video calls him. However, he eventually becomes a part of a major story beat from the series when Diaz and Harmon take down Delgado's killer.

When it comes to Officer Harmon's family, the Amazon Prime Video detective show does not reveal much. It only features a scene in which she tells Diaz she got divorced. For Alex Diaz, however, the show takes a different approach. It not only reveals that his partner walked out on him soon after he started working as...

Troian Bellisario and Brandon Larracuente are teaming up for On Call. The Dick Wolf-produced Prime Video series stars Bellisario in the lead role of Officer Traci Harmon, a veteran cop with a chip on her shoulder after experiencing a career-altering call years prior. By her side is Larracuente's Officer Alex Diaz, a rookie cop coming into the Long Beach Police Department with a high level of hope.

On Call represents Bellisario's first main role on a television series since her breakout in Pretty Little Liars. She starred as Spencer Hastings on that mystery teen drama for 160 episodes in the 2010s. Larracuente is coming off of television success with roles in hit shows like 13 Reasons Why, Party of Five, and The Good Doctor.

Amazon Prime Video's On Call walks through a compelling and realistic police procedural while also featuring memorable performances from cast members.

“On Call,” the upcoming Wolf Entertainment drama, isn’t like the other Dick Wolf dramas on television.

The series is the company’s first scripted streaming series, rolling out all nine episodes on Amazon Prime Video on Jan. 9. It’s the first half-hour drama Wolf Entertainment has released — and the first show Elliot Wolf and Tim Walsh created.

“I think that for us, the biggest thing was we both had something to prove. We had, I think, a self-imposed chip on our shoulders, not only to make it great, but to make it feel different than everything that we previously worked on, everything that we see on the television landscape today,” Wolf tells Variety.

Elliot Wolf, the son of creator Dick Wolf, has served for years as the head of digital at Wolf Entertainment, overseeing online content and scripted podcasts. The original idea for “On Call” was a short-form series...

It takes less than three minutes for the latest drama to bear Dick Wolf’s name to drop an F-bomb, adopt the dashcam, and violently kill off a familiar face at point blank range. For a man renowned for his ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it approach’ to network television, it’s akin to Dylan going electric.

Initially planned for IMDb TV and then Freevee before finding a home on Prime Video, “On Call” is also Wolf’s first straight-to-streaming project (“Law & Order: Organized Crime” only moved to Peacock in its fifth season), while each episode is done and dusted within a binge-friendly 30 minutes.

Unlike his other ten and counting procedurals still on the air, Wolf’s role is limited strictly to executive producer. Though having handed over the creative reins to son Elliot (and Tim Walsh), it’s still very much under the Wolf Entertainment...

Monica Raymund’s return to the Wolf Entertainment family proves short-lived. One month after the Chicago Fire alumna’s stealth casting was revealed in the trailer for Prime Video’s On Call, we can now confirm the extent of her part in the half-hour police procedural, as well as the creators’ decision to enlist an old friend for a seemingly minor role.

“On Call” is a decent small-scale police procedural. But is it decent enough when it comes from the house of Dick Wolf?

The pedigreed eight-part show traded broadcast networks for Prime Video, where it will premiere Thursday. The novelty is that each episode is a bite-sized 30 minutes, with modest character arcs that extend over multiple episodes, and multiple seemingly random crime sequences that propel individual installments.

The result feels like “Cops” with a script. The ride-along series puts the audience largely behind the wheel with Traci Harmon. She’s a divorced surfer with a chip on her shoulder, a junkie sister and a troubled relationship with her fellows on the force. She’s wound as tight as her bun.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for On Call.While highlighting how Harmon and Diaz grow as individuals during their team-up as mentor and student, respectively, On Call also shows how the two characters evolve together as they set out to take down East Barrio and Smokey. In many ways, On Call is reminiscent of David Ayer's Jake Gyllenhaal-starring action thriller, End of Watch. Like the David Ayer movie, Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf's On Call focuses on the everyday challenges two police officers, Harmon and Diaz, face while attempting to resolve crimes and maintain peace in their neighborhood.

Although Harmon and Diaz have an overarching mission, which involves catching a man who killed a police officer, the primary appeal of their story comes from realism in their day-to-day crime-solving endeavors. Towards the final moments of On Call, Harmon and Diaz gradually face the dire consequences of catching...

Troian Bellisario’s On Call tells the story of Long Beach Police training officer Traci Harmon, who takes on a new trainee in the wake of her old trainee being murdered while on call. While the show has an overarching story, from episode to episode it follows on-duty officers on patrol and how hard their everyday work is. At the beginning of the show, Officer Maria Delgado is shot dead while on call. The man who shot her happens to be a part of a massive Long Beach gang. It seems there’s an understanding between the gang and the police, but this murder is a violation of that understanding, so the gang comes under the radar. On the other hand, Diaz, Harmon’s new trainee, has his own trauma that makes him wonder if he can trust his trainer at all. Of course, by the end of the show,...

I did not have Troian Bellisario playing a cop on my 2025 bingo card, but dang, it’s exciting for sure. I know a lot of us grew up watching Pretty Little Liars, however, you don’t understand my obsession with Spencer Hastings. I digress because we’re not here to talk about why Troian is a fantastically underrated actress; we’re here to talk about her new show. On Call tells the story of regular cops out and about trying to save the day. That’s the simplest way to put it. Troian plays Traci Harmon, a trainer officer who teaches the rookies how to do the job. When tragedy strikes, Traci takes it upon herself to solve the case with the help of her new trainee, Alex Diaz. While the show has an overarching revenge-ish story, the main plot revolves around Harmon and Diaz’s daily pursuit to be fantastic On Call cops.

Thursday night’s “Tonight Show” brings together Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx, promoting their new action movie “Back in Action.” Diaz is always a fun presence, and Foxx can be entertaining.

I have a soft spot for Long Beach. It’s just a short drive south of Los Angeles, and the beaches are often far less busy in the summer than LA’s.

While there’s still a few days left to finish 2024 and a few more movies to watch, there’s already a lot that has been scheduled for the rest of the next year on Netflix. So, in this article, we have curated a string of 25 movie titles that have been confirmed and will be released next year.

1. Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever

Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever is a Netflix original documentary...

Back in Action is coming to Netflix on Jan. 17, but you’ve got a top-secret opportunity to be one of the first to see it. A select number of lucky fans have the exclusive opportunity to attend the New York premiere of the new spy action thriller starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz. You can reserve your tickets here before they run out.

The film follows Foxx and Diaz as a pair of average suburban parents with a big secret: They’re actually a retired pair of superspies. When their past catches up with them, the couple — and their shocked children — must embark on a globe-trotting mission to save the day.

If selected, you’ll get the opportunity to see those stuntson the big screen in Manhattan on Jan. 9, before Back In Action lands on Netflix.

The screening begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are first come, first served, and...

Back in Action is an appropriate name for Cameron Diaz's return film as the upcoming Netflix action comedy marks her first big-screen appearance in over a decade. With Diaz back in the spotlight and slowly regaining her passion for acting, the veteran star names the one rule she has for accepting new roles after unretiring.

Speaking with Empire, Diaz addressed her acting comeback and named her one condition for accepting future parts. Insisting she's "not defining anything," Diaz stated she'd happily accept new roles as long as it makes sense for herself and her family. However, she laid down one golden rule for the rest of her acting career; no more romantic comedies. “I don’t know how I view it. It’s hard to say. If I say it then it becomes this thing. I reserve the right to say no to doing a movie ever again, and...

The last time Cameron Diaz graced our screens, the BAFTA nominee was singing up a storm and cussing out kids as the villainous Miss Hannigan in Will Gluck’s 2014 Annie remake. Now, after a ten-year hiatus from Hollywood, Diaz is gearing up to make her return to movies in aptly titled Netflix joint Back In Action. Assuredly not a remake of *that* early noughties Looney Tunes movie, this one is instead a spy comedy caper from Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon that reunites Diaz with her Annie and Any Given Sunday co-star Jamie Foxx. This time out, the duo play Emily and Matt, a seemingly ordinary suburban couple whose past lives as elite CIA agents comes back to haunt them when their cover gets spectacularly blown.

For Diaz, who’s spent the last decade raising a family with former Good Charlotte guitarist husband Benji Madden, it was the Foxx factor that swung her cinematic comeback.

If you were to walk up to somebody 20 years ago and ask them about a film's length, a common consensus was likely to emerge: the longer the runtime, the less appealing it is to watch. In 2024, however, the response might be different. In 2021, the Los Angeles Times reported a study that concluded less than half of moviegoers are dissuaded by lengthy runtimes. In 2023, Slate reported that the average runtime of the 10 highest-grossing movies in the United States was 2 hours and 23 minutes -- over 20 minutes longer than 20 years ago. With rising trends in long-form content engagement across film, television, and online video, it has become clear that people are ready for longer viewing experiences, TikTok attention spans be damned.

Most people look at beefy, historical epics like "The Ten Commandments" and "Lawrence of Arabia" as the be-all and end-all of long-form cinema, but those are just the tip of the iceberg.

Cameron Diaz became one of the most bankable stars in the early 2000s, but that did not stop her from quitting acting back in 2014. So, coming out of retirement to star in 2025’s Back in Action was definitely a decision she contemplated for quite some time.

The actress resolved to leave the industry a decade ago to focus on her family and business ventures. Her last appearance was in the musical comedy-drama film Annie. Now, she’s definitely back in action as she also prepares for Shrek 5 and Outcome.

How Much Did Cameron Diaz Make on Her First Movie Project?

Most fans would remember Cameron Diaz during the height of the Charlie’s Angels fame, but when she was just a rookie star, she was cast in the commercially successful 1994 superhero comedy movie The Mask as Tina Carlyle, which established her as leading lady material.

Acclaimed actor, comedian and singer Jamie Foxx finally reveals the truth about the medical emergency he experienced last year that worried his loved ones, fans and Hollywood alike. In his new Netflix special, What Had Happened Was..., Foxx confirms he had a stroke that caused memory loss and had him fearing the worst.

Via Variety, Foxx was visibly emotional when recalling the near-tragic medical event, which took place in April 2023 in Atlanta. According to a teary-eyed Foxx, he was having a terrible headache which he didn't realize was an indicator of something more serious. “April 11, I was having a bad headache, and I asked my boy for Aspirin. I realized quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f*** to do,” he said jokingly.
