House of Cards was an exception, as was The Santa Clarita Diet, and now we have Friends From College, an upcoming Netflix original series whose cast consists mostly of known names, such as Fred Savage, Keegan-Michael Key and Cobie Smulders.
A new trailer was released for the upcoming Netflix series, giving us a more expanded look at the upcoming comedy.
That being said, Netflix has begun canceling more original series, such as The Get Down and Sense8, after not doing so for a long time, so Friends From College will likely have a shorter leash than it might have been, a couple of years ago.
One underrated aspect of Netflix’s success with original series is that a lot of the more popular ones debut with largely unknown casts.
