Ryan Murphy’s ‘Hollywood’ Limited Series: Netflix Release Time & Everything You Need to Know

Review Ethan / 2023-04-15 03:09:03

As part of an exclusive output agreement, Ryan Murphy will be working on multiple projects with Netflix. The flashy Hollywood series is one of the new projects that will be available on Netflix in 2020. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming title.

In February 2019, the show's first announcement was made. In the announcement, they told us the series is set to be “love letter to the Golden Age of Tinseltown”. We were also informed that Ian Brennan, who was involved with Scream Queens, would be part of the series.

Set during the 1940s in Hollywood’s golden age, Hollywood will focus on multiple intertwining storylines throughout the era. We think it’ll be comparable to Once Upon A Time in Hollywood but as a TV show.

Technically, Hollywood will be Ryan Murphy’s first solo project for Netflix since the overall output deal Netflix struck in 2018. If you’re thinking “The Politician released first”, you’d be correct. Fox, however, is its distributor. Therefore, Hollywood is Murphy’s first official Netflix Original. The Politician will likely have another season in 2020, as you might have heard.

What time will Hollywood appear on Netflix?

We finally learned that Hollywood would be streaming to Netflix starting Friday, May 1, 2020, after much speculation and rumours.

Hollywood will air eight episodes. All eight will be streamable on Netflix immediately after release.

When will Hollywood streaming on Netflix begin?

Netflix will stream Hollywood starting at Midnight. However, this is only for those who live west of the United States, where PST (Pacific Standard Time) is used. All subscribers around the globe will receive Hollywood at their local library at different times.

Time Zone Time available to stream
Pacific Standard Time 12:00 AM (GMT-8)
Mountain Standard Time 1:00 AM (GMT-7)
Central Standard Time 2:00 AM (GMT-6)
Eastern Standard Time 3:00 AM (GMT-5)
British Daylight Savings Time 08:00 AM (GMT)
Central European Time 09:00 AM (GMT+1)
Eastern European Time 10:00 AM (GMT+2)
India Standard Time 13:30 PM (GMT+5:30)
Japan Standard Time 16:00 PM (GMT+8)
Australian Eastern Time 18:00 PM (GMT+10)
New Zealand Day Light Time 20:00 PM (GMT+12)

As you can see, if you live in Australia or New Zealand, you won’t be able to stream Hollywood on Netflix until the evening!

Is Hollywood still being filmed in this location?

Principle photography took place in the summer of 2019 according to Ryan Murphy’s Instagram post. Here’s what was captioned alongside a picture of the famous Hollywood sign:

Hollywood” — my new Netflix show co-created with Ian Brennan — begins principal photography this summer. A love letter to the Golden Age of Tinseltown, this straight-to-series production will be my third show for Netflix and I couldn’t be more excited or proud about the work we are doing together.

The series was filmed between September 16th and January 15th 2019, with production wrapping up on January 15th 2020.

The filming took place primarily in Los Angeles, which is logical considering the content of the series.

Who’s starring in Hollywood on Netflix?

You'll see many familiar faces in Ryan Murphy productions as actresses and actors return to the roles. In Hollywood, you’ll see at least four familiar faces from Ryan Murphy’s FX series, American Horror Story.

The following cast members were also announced by Hollywood:

We were informed by a couple of cast members who joined the show in December 2019 as it was about to begin filming. They include

We were informed in January 2020 that Paget Brewster, who appeared in Criminal Minds and other titles, will be voice Lana Lang in the latest Warner Brothers animated Batman title.

Some of the first images we saw in Hollywood were released by Netflix on Apil 2, when it shared some photos through its social media channels.

Is there a second season of Hollywood on Netflix

At the moment, it’s believed that Hollywood is a “limited series” which means that once season one releases, that’s it.

However, when you look at the tags assigned to the official Netflix page for the series, it has “anthology” listed. That leads us to believe that each season we’ll see a different story play out (similar to Murphy’s work on AHS and American Crime Story). Hollywood's title gives us plenty of space to move through decades.

That’s all we have on Netflix’s upcoming Ryan Murphy series Hollywood so far. If you want to add it to your queue to get notified when it releases, you can do so on the show’s official page here.
