Today is a landmark moment for Queue: We are celebrating our 20th issue (!) of the magazine. If you’re a Netflix enthusiast, you’ve likely stumbled upon Queue — Netflix’s in-house print and digital magazine. Think of it as the cool, glossy, behind-the-scenes pass into the world of your favorite shows and stars. But it’s not just another entertainment mag — it’s a cultural blueprint.
To mark this special occasion, we have three different covers featuring a few of Netflix’s brightest talents, including Squid Game star and Emmy® winner Lee Jung-jae and the Olympic GOAT of all GOATs, Simone Biles, who opened her world up to viewers in the intimate docuseries Simone Biles Rising. Also featured is the best-in-class cast of rom-com Nobody Wants This — Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn.
For the Los Angeles–set comedy Nobody Wants This, creator Erin Foster assembled a cast of actors with perfect chemistry, camaraderie, and commitment — they tap into the amusing, sometimes embarrassing, always entertaining realities of modern relationships. “One thing that people seem to be so pleased by is that they are older and yet it doesn’t come with a ton of baggage,” Brody tells Queue of the series’s appeal. “It just is what it is. And you can still find love, and it can feel like first love even.”
For the second season of Squid Game, Lee had the tricky task of returning to the character that made him a global phenomenon. He handled it with equal parts grace and guts. “The first season was so demanding that I thought, Never again! So Season 2 felt somewhat inconceivable. A whole array of different feelings were swarming inside me,” he says in his Queue cover story. “I think all of us felt pressure because Season 1 was such a big success. So I wanted to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves on set. It was a healthy dose of pressure.”
Simone Biles Rising offers an unprecedented peek behind the scenes as the peerless gymnast staged her comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics. It’s not just the gold medals that make Biles a hero. It’s her fortitude in addressing mental health. “It’s always been known as a tough sport. You’re not supposed to cry,” she tells Queue. “I’ve learned to be soft and to live in the moments where you’re feeling vulnerable and you want to be open and honest.”
Throughout the rest of the issue, we dive deeper into the political drama The Diplomat, the propulsive thriller Rebel Ridge, Tina Fey’s latest comedy The Four Seasons, and foodie favorite Chef’s Table, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary with four episodes that each focus on legends of the kitchen — Alice Waters, Thomas Keller, Jamie Oliver and José Andrés.
The harrowing limited series Adolescence has captivated audiences, and the way its story is told is awe-inspiring: Each of the four episodes is filmed in one single shot. If you, like the rest of the world, are wondering how they accomplished such a massive achievement, you won’t want to miss our story on the process. These are just some of the incredible stories we have in this 20th edition of Queue. Head to the Netflix shop and order the latest issue of Queue to sample these stories and much, much more.
