Netflix viewers buzzing about upcoming horror film and question ties to trilogy
Netflix is set to release a spine-chilling new horror film this week that's already causing quite a stir among fans on social media, reports Surrey Live.
The buzz started when Netflix unveiled the trailer at the beginning of May, and it seems many viewers are echoing similar sentiments.
One fan commented on YouTube: "I love how they said that this movie wouldn't be connected to the original trilogy but obviously from the trailer you can tell it's canon."
Another chimed in: "I do not care how many of these y'all plan on making, I will be watching every single one."
A third viewer posted: "Kinda obvious it's canon. Why the hell would they make a non-canon film [sic]."

Another person remarked: "they litterally are this is ten years from the camp nightwing massacre, they're all connected, I think this is just a story from another massacre in shady side [sic]."
Yet another fan observed: "I think it's canon too. Plus at the end of part 3, didn't someone take the devil book [sic].
"I think it is all connected to even though they keep saying it's not. We already got one reference," added another.
One enthusiast noted: "yep but remember, this takes place between 1 and 2, so if it was connected it would focus on that timeline aspect of it [sic]."
Fear Street: Prom Queen, part of the Fear Street franchise, will be available on Netflix from May 23.
Netflix, having previously launched the Fear Street trilogy in 2021, which included Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 and Fear Street Part Three: 1666, is now expanding the universe.
The original trilogy was inspired by Goosebumps creator R. L. Stine's Fear Street novel series.
Stine has been in discussions with Netflix to broaden the Fear Street franchise beyond the initial trilogy, with Prom Queen being the first step in this expansion.
Set in Shadyside High during the 1988 prom season, the film follows the popular girls as they compete for the coveted homecoming crown.
However, when a spirited teenager enters the competition and other girls start to mysteriously disappear, it seems prom night is set to be a bloody affair.
Fear Street: Prom Queen boasts a star-studded cast including India Fowler from The Agency and The Nevers, Suzanna Son of HBO's The Idol, Fina Strazza from Paper Girls, American Pie's Chris Klein, David Iacono from The Summer I Turned Pretty, Ella Rubin from Anora and The Idea of You, Ariana Greenblatt from Love and Monsters and Stuck in the Middle, with Lili Taylor from Outer Range and Katherine Waterston from Perry Mason completing the line-up.
Fear Street: Prom Queen promises to plunge viewers into the 1980s, complete with all its horror, gore and glamour.

Meghan Markle's 'worrying' plans to 'outshine' royals that left Palace terrified
The Duchess of Sussex has openly admitted her struggles when adjusting to royal life, but one royal author says her plans when operating as a working royal left Buckingham Palace worried Meghan Markle's life changed overnight when she met Prince Harry, and it's no secret that she struggled to adjust to royal life before the couple's self-exile to the States. And she's not the only one who found life inside palace walls a heavy cross to bear. The late Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, famously resented playing "second fiddle" her whole life, and Prince Philip's world was upended when Elizabeth II suddenly became monarch. Princess Diana 's painful divorce led to her suffering with depression, for which she claimed she got no support from the royal family. Despite struggling with the contraints of royal life at times, few would try to break the mould in an establishment that prides itself on tradition. But not only did the Duchess of Sussex try to map out her own personal career as a working royal, she also tried to 'outshine' other royals - including the late Queen - according to a royal author. Tom Quinn, writing in his royal biography Yes Ma'am, claims that Meghan sparked panic in the Palace during her short stint as a working royal when she indicated that she wanted to operate separately from the Queen. The author penned: " Buckingham Palace became really worried when they became aware that Meghan had plans for her life as a working royal that were not going to be part of a general strategy agreed with the staff – she just wanted to do her own thing. "Which is fair enough if you're not a member of a tightly controlled institution, but it was never going to be acceptable that Meghan should outshine Princess Anne, Prince Charles [as he then was] and Elizabeth the Queen." Speaking to the author, a former courtier for the late Queen said: "Elizabeth always had to be the centre and focus of everything the Royal Family did and I don't think Meghan understood why that had to make her do things she didn't want to do. "She didn't understand that when you join the Royal Family, you don't do as you please, you do as you're told. In a sense, you become a servant of the family." According to insiders quoted in the book, Meghan found it hard to get her head around the many protocols and traditions associated with the Firm - and she allegedly had a scathing assessment of the senior members. Quinn writes: "Meghan really disliked the hierarchy," a member of her former team said. "Many of the rules do seem pretty pointless and exist only so that the relative status of each senior royal is protected. And the senior royals are such a sensitive bunch — if one gets a gold pen or a new car, they all want one. Meghan thought they behaved like babies." The Sussexes recalled Meghan's introduction to royal life in their six-part Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, and discussed her first meeting with the late Queen after they began dating in 2016. "My grandmother was the first senior member of the family that Meghan met," Prince Harry said in the docuseries. "She had no idea what it all consisted of. So it was a bit of a shock to the system for her." Meghan then shared that while they were on their way to meet the Queen, Prince Harry asked her if she knew how to curtsy. "We were in the car, driving and he's like: 'You know how to curtsy right?' and I just thought it was a joke," the Duchess admitted. Prince Harry acknowledged the difficulty of explaining royal protocol to his American girlfriend, saying: "How do you explain that to people? How do you explain that you bow to your grandmother? And that you would need to curtsy, especially to an American. That's weird." Meghan also compared curtsying to Medieval Times, Dinner and Tournament, a dinner theatre featuring medieval-style games, and joked that "Americans will understand this". She then recreated the deep curtsy she gave to the Queen, bowing her head dramatically and spreading her arms wide. "It was like that. Like, I curtsied as though I was like… pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty," she said. Her reenactment drew some criticism from viewers who claimed that the Duchess was being "disrespectful" towards tradition.

Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham join for Adolescence-like show
The new drama promises to be "gritty" and "unflinching" in its approach, according to an insider. EastEnders star Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham working together on an Adolescence-like show Talking with The Mirror, the source said: "They are currently thrashing out what they want to do. It'll be in the vein of Adolescence. Something unflinching and moving.' Adolescence, which was co-created and co-written by This Is England favourite Stephen Graham, recently broke records when it premiered on Netflix, seeing it become the most-watched show of the year. The Four-part series starts with the arrest of 13-year-old Jamie (played by Owen Cooper) when armed police storm the family home. Over the course of the show, it explores misogyny among teenage boys. The Last time Graham and EastEnders star Danny Dyer worked together was all the way back in 2009, when they both starred in the British slapstick horror film Doghouse. Recommended Reading: Previously, Danny called on Stephen to get him involved in one of his projects and praised Adolesence. Danny said: 'It's such an important subject, but the fact they're doing it in one take. As an actor and being part of that world I find it f****** incredible. "So, Steve, you've got to roll me into something. I want a bit of this!'
