Netflix announcing premiere dates for many of its new 2015 shows — including a much earlier debut than we expected for “Daredevil.”
In addition to ordering a second season of “Marco Polo,” Netflix boss Ted Sarandos announced the following premiere dates (note: Netflix tends to debut its shows right after midnight Pacific on the dates in question):
- “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” which Netflix acquired from NBC late last year, will debut on Friday, March 6; created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, it stars Ellie Kemper from “The Office” as a woman who has just been rescued from a doomsday cult and tries to start her life over in New York City.
- “Bloodline,” a drama from the “Damages” creative team about a Florida family — which includes Kyle Chandler, Ben Mendelsohn, Linda Cardellini, Norbert Leo Butz, Jacinda Barrett, Sissy Spacek and Sam Shepard — will debut on Friday, March 20.
- “Marvel’s Daredevil,” starring Charlie Cox as the blind lawyer-turned-crimefighter, and co-starring Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, will debut on Friday, April 10. (Netflix didn’t panel “Daredevil” at Comic-Con this summer, and isn’t paneling it at TCA, so the assumption was it wouldn’t put it on the air until at least after the next Comic-Con. Whoops.)
- Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are “Grace and Frankie,” longtime enemies who become friends when their husbands leave them for each other. It co-stars Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, Brooklyn Decker, June Diane Raphael and Ethan Embry, and debuts on Friday, May 8, 2015.
