Sandra Oh is not a woman who likes to be idle. And so, now that Killing Eve is coming to an end, here it is in a new project that, no, it is not the eighteenth edition of Grey’s Anatomy. At the news that the ABC series would be renewed for a final season, many, driven by the enthusiasm of having seen Patrick Dempsey, Eric Dane and company, have thought that sooner or later it will also touch Cristina Yang, the character who gave to Oh the international notoriety, but she was quick to say no, that is a closed chapter.
The new one is called The Chair, a 6-episode miniseries to come on Netflix on August 27 and which was written by Amanda Peet with her husband David Benioff, the co-creator of Game of Thrones, here also producer with faithful friend and colleague DB Weiss.

In The Chair Sandra Oh lends her face to Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim, the first woman to lead the English department of the fictional Pembroke University in which non-white people and women struggle to hold significant executive positions. The tones are expected to be fresh and not at all dramatic, the direction is entrusted to Daniel Gray Longino and the project promises to be one of Netflix’s bets before the start of a new season full of titles to ensure that the number of subscribers continues to rise.
Although the first lockdown led to the streaming giant 16 million more users, the latest data shared by Ampere Analysis con TheWrap show that, in recent months, Netflix’s dominance in the US market has been reduced by 29%, thanks to the ruthless competition from new competing platforms such as Disney+, which is investing in many original productions, many of which are from Marvel, and HBO Max which, thanks to the nostalgia effect, is trying to revive old glories such as Friends, Sex and the City e Gossip Girl. The last act of the House of Paper and the fourth season of Stranger Things, perhaps among the most recognizable titles in the catalog, will certainly help, but the push of products like The Chair it may not be as insignificant as some might think.
