There’s plenty to be excited about on Netflix this month—Sturgill Simpson anime!—but nothing has us more curious than Between Two Ferns: The Movie, the film adaptation of Zach Galifianakis’ bizarro interview series. Comedy Bang! Bang!’s Scott Aukerman directed the comedy, which finds Galifianakis taking his fern on the road in an effort to “restore his reputation” after Will Ferrell made him a “viral laughingstock” by uploading the interviews to Funny Or Die. Will President Barack Obama reprise his role? Dear god, we hope so.
Also coming to Netflix this month is The Spy, Sacha Baron Cohen’s portrayal of Israel’s most prominent Mossad agent, which promises to be something new from the comedic provocateur. Ryan Murphy, meanwhile, will debut The Politician, a satiric, thoroughly modern take on our current political reality. The Simpsons’ Matt Groening will drop “part 2" of his animated medieval comedy Disenchantment, which we really came around to after it got off to a bumpy start last summer. Comedian Bill Burr will also bring the yuks in his distinctly acerbic way with a new special, Paper Tiger.
The streamer will also premiere a few true crime projects in September, beginning with Unbelievable, a story of sexual assault and systemic failures in law enforcement that’s based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting of The Marshall Project and Pro Publica. Oscar nominees Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right) and Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) are counted among the eight-episode series’ creative team, as is Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon. There’s also Criminal, an experimental series starring David Tennant that’s set entirely in police interview suites in four different countries. The anthology will tell 12 unique, stripped-down stories across its runtime, essentially making it the In Treatment of true crime.
Did we mention country innovator Sturgill Simpson made an anime? Because he did, and that’s premiering, too.
