Months after streaming giant Netflix fired 150 people, it has announced another round of job cuts. It will be slashing 300 more jobs mostly in the United States, the current action is the result of Netflix losing a part of its subscriber base

Netflix has decided to lay off around 4% of the workforce. It lay off 300 employees amid a cost-cutting drive. The layoff has mostly affected the employees in the US.

Netflix lays off 300 employees amid a cost-cutting drive

<p>Streaming giant Netflix has laid off 300 employees, according to Variety. The publication reported that the streamer fired off staffers across multiple departments. This follows the first round of layoffs last month, in which the company had fired 150 employees, contractors, or part-time workers, about 2 per cent of its workforce in the United States.</p>

<p>Netflix may be a world leader in the streaming space, but it is also beset with financial troubles. In April, it reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter of the year when it was expected to gain 2.5 million subscribers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was all well for the company when it was the undisputed leader. But now newer players like Disney+ and HBO Max, backed by big studios and legacy content, are making inroads and eating into Netflix's share.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area', a heist crime drama series, is now streaming on Netflix. The much-anticipated series is a spinoff series of 'Money Heist', the Spanish-language original created by Álex Pina that captured the imagination of millions across the world. 'Money Heist' ended with its two-part fifth season in 2021.</p>

<p>The original story was praised by critics and viewers for its humour, subversion of medium and genre tropes, themes, and gripping storytelling. At one point, it was the most popular series in the world and the most-watched series on Netflix. 'Money Heist' fans expect nothing less from 'Joint Economic Area', considering we are in the middle of a 'Korean wave'.</p>

<p>Here is everything you need to know about 'Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area':</p>

<p><strong>Creative team</strong></p>

<p>While Kim Hong-sun is the director Ryu Yong-jae is the head writer. Kim Hong-sun's credits include dramas like 'The Guest', 'Voice' and more recently 'L.U.C.A.: The Beginning'. Ryu Yong-jae, on the other hand, was one of the two writers of Peninsula, the sequel to Train to Busan.</p>

<p><strong>Cast</strong></p>

<p>'Money Heist' cast members like Úrsula Coberó, Álvaro Morte, Itziar Ituño, Pedro Alonso, Miguel Herrán, among others have become household names around the world thanks to the show's unprecedented success.

<p><strong>Plot</strong></p>

<p>While we expect the South Korean context of 'Joint Economic Area' will play a big role in the look and feel of the series, the underlying structure should remain the same.

<p>The federal officers said Antle believed the money to be a part of the profits of an operation that smuggled people from across the Mexican border into the US.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Charges against Antle were revealed on Monday at the time of a federal court proceeding in Florence, South Carolina, that said Antle and Sawyer had laundered around $505,000 over a time period of four months by allotting checks from businesses they controlled. They used to receive a 15% fee for the money that was cleared by them.</p>

<p>Allegedly, the cheques were supposedly payment for construction work at Antle’s beach safari but were actually made up as evidence to produce legitimate income for the recipients. The lawsuit stated that Antle discussed his plan to hide the money he got by inflating tourist numbers at his 50-acre (20-hectare) wildlife tropical preserve, the lawsuit stated in court on Monday. Prosecutors also claimed that he had previously used bulk cash receipts to buy animals without using checks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Antle, who is an animal trainer, has&nbsp;featured in Netflix's 2020 docu-series 'Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in May made a request to the IRS to probe Antle's Rare Species Fund, a nonprofit that raises funds for wildlife conservation. He has also been accused by PETA of using those funds to subsidise his safari site in Socastee, outside Myrtle Beach.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Antle has also been accused of mishandling lions and other wildlife by animal rights advocates, and in 2020 he was indicted in Virginia on charges of animal cruelty and wildlife trafficking. Trials relating to these charges will begin in July.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Antle has a history of law violations dating back to 1989 when the US Department of Agriculture penalised him for abandoning deer and peacocks at his Virginia zoo. He has been named in over 35 USDA breaches for mistreating animals to date.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When Mumma sighed at the reprieve that cash provided, I sighed too. Just then, a hand slid to the back seat of the car where I was sitting and slid up my dress. X, who was no longer my uncle, smiled as he rubbed my thigh. I was numb in that moment… He started frequenting our home, and Mumma would laugh with and cook for him. In front of her, he would kiss my cheek and say, ‘Oh my Kubrati, you’re my favourite little one’. Although uncomfortable, I kept quiet," an excerpt from Kubbra’s book read.</p>

<p>Giving more details of the incident, she wrote that the abuser was married and had a child, and in the curse of the sexual assault, he became a father for the second time. She wrote that if Kubbra resisted him, he would stop taking her mother's calls. According to Kubbra, her mother was completely unaware of anything that was going on between X and her daughter and would chastise the actor for allegedly fighting with X when he refused to assist the family. Kubbra further claimed that she was being sexually molested and that no one in her immediate vicinity 'could even tell.'</p>

<p>The actor revealed how it all started when she was taken to a hotel by X. Before kissing her on the lips, he stroked her face. She was numb, confused and perplexed, she added.</p>

<p>Claiming that X threatened her, saying ‘it would destroy us’ if she ever told them about the sexual assault, the actor stated that she believed what he said and added that if she had to deal with a similar thing now, she would have done it differently. Her mind and soul ‘felt dead’ at that time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kubbra Sait’s last appearances were in ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’, ‘Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare’, both in 2020. She rose to fame with her portrayal of Kuku in the hit Netflix web series 'Sacred Games' in which she plays the role of a transgender woman.&nbsp;<br />

I was numb in that moment… He started frequenting our home, and Mumma would laugh with and cook for him. In front of her, he would kiss my cheek and say, ‘Oh my Kubrati, you’re my favourite little one’. Although uncomfortable, I kept quiet," an excerpt from Kubbra’s book read. Giving more details of the incident, she wrote that the abuser was married and had a child, and in the curse of the sexual assault, he became a father for the second time. She wrote that if Kubbra resisted him, he would stop taking her mother's calls. According to Kubbra, her mother was completely unaware of anything that was going on between X and her daughter and would chastise the actor for allegedly fighting with X when he refused to assist the family. Kubbra further claimed that she was being sexually molested and that no one in her immediate vicinity 'could even tell.' Also Read: Did Charlie Puth just confirm a collab with BTS? The actor revealed how it all started when she was taken to a hotel by X. Before kissing her on the lips, he stroked her face. She was numb, confused and perplexed, she added. Claiming that X threatened her, saying ‘it would destroy us’ if she ever told them about the sexual assault, the actor stated that she believed what he said and added that if she had to deal with a similar thing now, she would have done it differently. Her mind and soul ‘felt dead’ at that time. Kubbra Sait’s last appearances were in ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’, ‘Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare’, both in 2020. She rose to fame with her portrayal of Kuku in the hit Netflix web series 'Sacred Games' in which she plays the role of a transgender woman.

'Stranger Things' title theme gets an Indian twist from music maestro Ilaiyaraaja

<p>Hit Netflix sci-fi drama 'Stranger Things' returns this week with the first part of its highly-anticipated season four promising more supernatural horrors besetting the fictional Indiana town of Hawkins.<br />
<br />
Set six months after season three ended with the gruesome Starcourt mall battle, season four sees the young protagonist friends separated after Eleven, played by Millie Bobbi Brown, moved to California with Joyce (Winona Ryder) and her two sons, Will and Jonathan.<br />
<br />
Lacking her telekinetic powers as well as social skills, Eleven soon finds herself bullied. Meanwhile, in Hawkins, the rest of the adolescent gang is steering through high school life as a new threat emerges from the Upside Down alternate dimension.<br />
<br />
A third storyline sees the previously revealed return of former Hawkins police chief Hopper, Eleven`s adoptive father, now a prisoner in Russia.<br />
<br />
"It`s going to answer a lot of questions," actor Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas, told Reuters.<br />
<br />
"(It) really kind of just dives deeper into some of the bigger questions that I think a lot of the fans have been asking. I think people are going to really be very satisfied with this season," added Sadie Sink, who plays Max.<br />
<br />
Like other shows, filming of the nine new episodes was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Season three aired in 2019.<br />
<br />
Critics have given the new season the thumbs up but have touched on episode length, with the finale running at two and a half hours.<br />
<br />
"It`s massive, a massive, massive season and it kind of explains the wait – like it`s been so long," Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin said. "We`re anxious to put it out there and we`re excited for it to pay off."<br />
<br />
Set in the 1980s, 'Stranger Things' became a huge hit upon its release in 2016, winning a loyal following around the world.<br />
<br />
"There`s always a lot of humour in the show.... The hallmark of the show is being able to bring humour to really serious and dark supernatural circumstances," actor Joe Keery, who plays Steve said.<br />
<br />
'Stranger Things' 4 Volume 1 premieres on May 27, with Volume 2 following on July 1.<br />

'Black Mirror' new season is reportedly in works at Netflix

<p>The 'Stranger Things' cast teased&nbsp;Vecna, the show's newest villain, at show's&nbsp;season 4 premiere red carpet event on the weekend.&nbsp;Heroes are heroes, but everyone loves great villains. In the upcoming fourth season of `Stranger Things`, fans will meet Vecna, a spooky, powerful lich that crawls upside down and causes havoc for the Hawkins.</p>

<p>According to Variety, 'Vecna makes Demogorgon look cuddly,'&nbsp;executive producer and director Shawn Levy told on Saturday night at the global premiere of 'Stranger Things 4'&nbsp;in Brooklyn, New York.</p>

<p>David Harbor, starring as Hawkins Police Chief Jim Hopper, teased how Vecna embodies a new element of horror that 'Stranger Things'&nbsp;viewers have never seen before.</p>

<p>"Vecna is a psychological horror that I don't think we've really seen,"&nbsp;Harbor said. "The Upside Down has been this wild west world where there are creatures running around, there`s violence, but we`ve never seen something as calculatedly psychologically evil as this."&nbsp;</p>

<p>'That`s exciting because he is a true big bad that we`ve needed in the series', Harbor added.</p>

<p>In the third season, released almost three years ago, it seems that Hopper was killed by sacrificing himself to close the gate upside-down. He is far from dead, however, and is being held at an icy gulag in Russia. "In a way, a piece of him does die when this happens,"&nbsp;Harbour said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Hopper needed to shed these layers that had been growing on him, this kind of gunk that prevented him from being the man that could battle this evil in the Upside Down."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, "I don't directly deal with Vecna, my storyline`s a little different, but there's a Demogorgon in a Russian prison that I got to deal with. It's pretty terrifying. In honour of the first season of `Stranger Things` and the horror films of the 80s that influenced them, Vecna revived primarily with practical effects."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harrington, said he was inspired by the way how special effects were used on the set. "As a fan of practical effects and classic horror-adventure movies, it`s unparalleled,"&nbsp;Keery said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There aren't other people that are doing similar things to this, so as the fan in me, I was just freaking out."</p>

<p>Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson, made fun of Vecna for moving the series in unexpected directions. "The craziest thing is just how new and fresh the villain feels compared to what we`ve had before,"&nbsp;Matarazzo said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's something that brings a whole new vibe to how we deal with our villains in 'Stranger Things' and how we will continue to do so going forward. " Priah Ferguson, who plays the sassy Erica Sinclair, said that the "horror elements that make Vecna so terrifying go beyond the typical jumpscare cliche.</p>

<p>" Vecna is very scary,"&nbsp;Ferguson said. "It`s something that messes with your mind. I think that's gonna get the audience a little bit more freaked out because that freaks me out more than jump scares."&nbsp;She added, "As `Stranger Things` goes on, the show always gets darker and scarier, and that`s because the audience grows."&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Stranger Things'&nbsp;season 4 has two release dates with the first four episodes arriving on May 27 while the next set of episodes arriving on July 1, as per the trailer.&nbsp;</p>
