**Spoilers ahead, people**

Unless you've been living under a rock (or a duvet) for the past few weeks, you've no doubt been caught up in the madness of the new Netflix series Making A Murderer.

The documentary series follows the trial of Steven Avery, who was convicted of murdering photographer Teresa Halbach in 2005.

His lawyers and family allege that Steven was framed by local police in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, who had a vendetta against Steven after he sued them for his wrongful 18-year imprisonment for another case.

Today, the filmmakers behind the series appeared on the TODAY Show to reveal a hugely significant development in Avery's case: that at least one juror in his trial believes he was indeed set up.

"They believe Steven Avery was not proven guilty – they believe Steven was framed by law enforcement and that he deserves a new trial," Laura Ricciardi told the hosts.

"And if he receives a new trial, in their opinion, it should take place far away from Wisconsin."

The juror in question reportedly told Laura and her colleague Moira Demos that he or she chose not to vote for Steven's innocence for a worrying reason.

"Obviously we asked this person, 'So, explain what happened, why did you cast your vote for guilty?'" Demos explained.

"And what they told us was they feared for their personal safety."

It remains to be seen whether today's revelation will have a direct effect on the outcome of Steven's case, but it is certainly another weapon in his fight for release.

Have we hung up our hats when it comes to partying the night away on New Year's Eve or is it totally reasonable to hit the hay before the clock strikes midnight?

A new survey of Netflix users around the globe has revealed that many of us want to pack in the annual December 31 celebrations long before midnight.

The survey found that 49 percent of parents think 9pm is the new midnight – not just for their kids – and 41 percent of parents in the US will trick their children into going to bed before the bells ring in the new year.

But it's not just the presence of littlies in the house that pushes some of us to forgo staying up until midnight.

After all, who hasn't feigned illness at least once on NYE in favour of a movie night or even an evening spent cuddled up in bed? If you want to celebrate New Year's a little early this year, we may have the solution to all of that FOMO.

No matter where you are, or what time it is, start your party early by looking up New Year's Eve Countdown on Netflix. That will then bring you to a ten second countdown, so you won't have to miss out on the whole THREE, TWO, ONE, fiasco. 

Pretty cool, huh? We don't know about you, but our food comas tomorrow night might just have us clicking on the ten second countdown at 10pm… or maybe 9pm.

We all know Netflix has totally changed the way we watch TV, but even with that, it wants to go one step further. 

Yep, our beloved Netflix has teamed up with streaming website, Deeplocal, to invent a new DIY project… and it's what we've all been waiting for. 

Socks that pause your show when you fall asleep. Genius, right? It's a bit techy so we'll let Netflix explain their new project: 

"An accelerometer detects when you've stopped moving for a prolonged period of time and triggers a signal to your TV that pauses Netflix.

"When it detects that you've dozed off, an LED light in the cuff of the sock flashes red, warning that the pause signal is about to be sent to your TV. Any motion will stop it from firing.

"The accelerometer is very sensitive to little movements, so it's good at detecting when you're just sitting still, raptly watching Netflix, and when you've actually fallen asleep."

Now, it's a DIY project, which you can see here, so you will have to put together the socks yourself, but don't worry as all it is is a little bit of knitting and electronics. 

We're sure you'll be grand.

Miley Cyrus may be the most controversial pop star of our time, but one thing you can't deny is that she has an ah-mazing voice. 

She performed Silent Night on Bill Murray's Netflix special, A Very Murray Christmas, and social media went absolutely crazy. 

A Deadline reviewer said that she "delivers a knock-'em-dead pipes-to-kill-for performance here" that ​"could put any Scrooge in the Christmas spirit.​"

While one woman wrote, "​Cyrus' performance is mature and lovely and — for anyone who has had a weird year or two — very contemplative," in a GQ article entitled The Real Star of Bill Murray's Christmas Special: Miley Cyrus.

Watch her kick-ass performance here:

Disney fans everywhere are jumping for joy today as the mega movie giant has announced that it is launching its very own digital subscription service, similar to Netflix.

The service will give you instant access to THOUSANDS of Disney Channel shows, hundreds of Disney and Pixar movies, like ​Toy Story, Snow White, ​and ​The Jungle Book, ​and loads of other Disney books and albums. 

DisneyLife (very appropriately named, because Disney is, in fact, life) will hit the UK next month and Ireland in 2016. It'll cost about €15 for a subscription which, we think, is a small price for unlimited hours of pure joy.

If you are one of the unfortunate souls who still has piles of Disney films on VHS and no video player to speak of, then we have good news.

According to reports, Disney is following in the footsteps of Netflix and launching its own streaming service called “Disney Life.” 

Even better, the service is going to be dedicated to the classic Disney films, so no Marvel characters sneaking to interrupt your on point rendtion of the Circle of Life.

A spokesperson has  told the BBC: “UK families embrace new technology, and demand more flexible entertainment, and this is supported by superfast broadband connectivity and the proliferation of digital devices in this market.” 

We are going to be inside for days, the number of duvet days are going to hit a record high we can just tell.

Yes there are a number of Disney films available on Netflix, but favourites missing simply because they don't exist online. Until now that is.

DisneyLive will launch in the U.K. first. The platform has a lot of the same features as the streaming sites you already know and love.

For one monthly price, you'll get the complete Pixar library, plus a number of beloved Disney classics. They' are set to continue to roll the service out through Europe in 2016. 

Until the glorious day arrives, we will have to be content with a new album of Disney remixes. 

Classic jams are getting a major pop makeover thanks to the collaboration record We Love Disney. It features some of the biggest artists around — think: Jason Derulo, Jessie J, Gwen Stefani, and Ariana Grande — putting their own spins on these beloved songs. 

The album is due to be released on 30 October, so start warming up your vocal cords.

Brace yourselves Gilmore Girls fans!

Sources are confirm that Netflix has closed a deal with Warner Bros. for a limited-series revival of Gilmore Girls written by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino.

Negotiations with the cast are only now beginning, but according to TV Line most of the series major stars are set to be returning. Most notably Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson. Hurrah!

Additionally the website reports multiple insider sources are saying the revival will consist of  90-minute episodes. Which is practically the length of a film. So really, we’re getting four Gilmore Girls films! Kind of, but it’s exciting to think of it that way.

The deal allows Amy — who left the original series prior to the last season as a result of a contract dispute with Warner Bros. — to end Gilmore Girls in the way she had always imagined.

Over the summer when the cast and creator of the series reunited at the ATX Festival, she addressed the possibility of a revival for the series.

“It would have to be the right everything — the right format, the right timing,” she said. “If it ever happened, I promise we’ll do it correctly.”

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2009, Amy remained hopeful that she would get to conclude the Gilmore story on her terms, either through a film or a shorter series.

“The beauty of Gilmore, and the beauty of family-relationship shows, is you never really run out of story,” she said.

“You’re going to battle your family until you’re all in the ground.

"Those things never resolve, doesn’t matter how much therapy you get. Ten years later, there’s still going to be [material] there to mine and to delve into.”

Did we mention we are feeling very excited about this, because we are.

We all love Netflix for streaming some of our favourite TV shows and movies, but lately they've really been getting behind creating their own content. 

We already know (and watch) most of it's in-house shows – Orange Is The New Black, House of Cards, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, etc – but now Netflix announced that it will be producing original movies too. Hurrah!

The first to be released will see Idris Elba starring in political drama, Beasts of No Nation, but we've also come across some other movies coming out soon that caught our attention:

 

The Ridiculous Six – December 11 2015

This Netflix movie will star big names such as Adam Sandler, Will Forte, Taylor Lautner and Rob Schneider.

It's the first of FOUR Adam Sandler-related movies to stream on the service soon and it's basically a mock-up of the old western-style films. 

 

A Very Murray Christmas – December 2015

This movie will star Bill Murray, George Clooney (yes!), Amy Poehler, Chris Rock and Miley Cyrus.

With everyone basically playing a heightened version of themselves, Bill Murray decides to put on a Christmas special. But then a snow storm hits New York and Bill worries if his famous guests will make it to the stage on-time.

 

War Machine – Early 2016

War Machine will star Brad Pitt, Will Poulter and Topher Grace.

Based on the acclaimed novel The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan, Brad stars as a rock'n'roll army general with a focus on the people who are running satirical campaigns about the war.

Break-ups are the worst. Whether you lost someone you truly cared about, or got dumped out of the blue; every situation is a horrible one.

And it's OK to feel down about it; getting over a break-up isn't easy but with these pro-active tips, you might find the transition that little bit smoother.

1. Give yourself permission to be a mess, but only for a specific amount of time

Women are hard on themselves post break-up. You will be sad and angry and emotional. And you should be. You can't be a mess forever though, so set an end-date and take time to be emotional and messy if you need it. 

 

2. Unfollow your ex EVERYWHERE

There are many schools of thought on this one, but by and large, looking at images of your ex having a great time/out with other girls/not being a miserable pile of tears will probably annoy the hell out of you.

Unfollow their friends and family too, because you know you're ex will pop up somewhere on their pages. Did you really like his mother anyway?!

 

3. Don't forget to double delete him on your phone

You deleted their number from your phone, but if you go to messages and start typing the first letter of his name and his number will still pop up. NO! 

But don't worry, there's a handy hack for that! Just see above.

 

4. Get your own Netflix account

This is important if you've been with you ex for a long time and shared a Netflix account, Tesco membership cards, Spotify, etc. It's great busy work to keep you occupied and also feels oddly empowering.

 

5. Look FABULOUS

We know you feel like curling up into your blanket everyday, but have you seen Kourtney Kardashian lately?! She is not letting anything get her down and looks oh-so-hot while doing so. We don't think she has ever looked better and she is certainly not letting her break-up get the better of her.

There's nothing really better than a Netflix binge, are we right?!

Whenever we have the time off, it's good to know that Netflix will be there for us, no matter what time of the day.

But these eight hacks are about to make your relationship with Netflix even stronger. 

Helium

It's a floating, transparent browser window that allows you to watch Netflix while you do other daily tasks on your computer. Work and watch Netflix? Done. File your accounts and watch Netflix? Done. It's the best of both worlds!

 

The Netflix Enhancement

This is an ingenious bundle of Netflix add-ons for Chrome that will change you life for the better. With a very quick and easy installation, you can get IMBD profiles, trailers, and pop-up ratings from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. Did we mention it's free too? 

 

Watch in HD

It costs the same as the standard subscription, so why not get it? See your favourite actors up close and personal. 

 

Watch Netflix from other countries

You can use the free site, Hola to access the Netflix programme lists from other countries! Who knew?! Our Netflix binge just got serious. 

 

Create multiple profiles

If your tastes differ from action to rom-coms, you can make different profiles to suit each one. Or say you don't want to mess up your profile with all of your boyfriends weird TV shows, just make two separate accounts so he won't ruin your suggestions or ratings. 

 

Instant Watcher

This tool keeps you up to date with what's coming and going on Netflix. Which, as anyone who's gone to watch something and had it not been there can tell you, might actually save you from a meltdown. 

 

Flix Roulette

You use your general tastes – favourite director, actors, or even keywords – to narrow down your search and then Flix Roulette chooses something for you based on what you're into. You will discover so many shows you never even knew existed!

 

Goodbye Buffering

While playing a title, hold down Shift+Opt (Shift+Alt for Windows) and left click, to open up a hidden menu (called the Stream Manager) with buffering fixes and some other ways to help you out.

If you are using Chrome, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt/Opt+S to access this menu.

Do you recognise the feeling of sitting down for an evening of relaxing television viewing and then all of a sudden it is four in the morning and you have finished an entire series? We’ve all been there, it happens.

The ‘just one more episode’ phenomenon has taken over in recent times and now Netflix have explained the exact moment when it happens. If you ever wondered when your mild fascination with Breaking Bad turned into a 48 hour marathon binge-session, now Netflix can inform you it was probably around episode two.

Netflix released the data so now when a friend gives you a recommendation, you will know just how long it will take before you need to cancel any other weekend plans.

“In our research of more than 20 shows across 16 markets, we found that no one was ever hooked on the pilot. This gives us confidence that giving our members all episodes at once is more aligned with how fans are made," explained Ted Saranos, the chief content officer at Netflix. 

The data, collected from viewers all over the world, can’t tell you exactly when people fell in love with the show. However it does reveal which episode led 70 per cent of viewers to complete the first season.
