Overview
- Based on Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine and starring Miles Heizer and Vera Farmiga, the series debuted October 9 and notched top-10 viewership on Netflix.
- The Pentagon publicly condemned the show in October, with press secretary Kingsley Wilson labeling it “woke garbage.”
- Producer Brent Miller voiced disappointment over the decision and said the executive producers and Sony will try to find a new home for the series.
- Deadline reported that Sony extended options on several key cast members, though Netflix exclusivity typically limits pickups by other outlets.
- Miller said Season 2 was mapped to “take the boys to war,” and coverage notes online speculation of political motives tied to Netflix’s planned Warner Bros. Discovery purchase, which remains unproven.
