The Woman in Cabin 10 (Netflix)
Look
Does Kiera Knightley look mysterious on a cruise? Sign me up. Netflix has already made us distrust what happens in the waters thanks to the infamous Trainwreck: poop cruise and Amy Bradley is missingbut it’s not finished yet.
Based on the book of the same name, Knightly plays a journalist who boards a cruise ship for a work assignment and inadvertently sees a passenger falling overboard. When he confronts the staff the next day, no one believes him… so who is this unknown person and what really happened?
If I were Knightley, I think I would have been so frustrated with what happened that I would have had the onboard gift shop in complete disarray. Or maybe eaten everything in the ship’s restaurants (all of them, I’m not picky). – Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter

Little has been revealed about the plot of this project. In fact, all we know is that Robinson will play William Ronald Trosper and that he will investigate a wide-ranging conspiracy when something embarrassing happens to him at work.
The chair companyThe first trailer only showed the tip of the iceberg of Robinson’s latest absurdist comedy. If it’s half as good as the best Believe… sketches, however, we are in for a real treat. – T.P.

The Last Frontier (Apple TV+)
