So I would be working all day in a really physical role and then getting very little sleep at night, maybe two or three hours. I did that for however many weeks, maybe five weeks.'”
Several other exciting things are coming to Netflix on October 1st as well. Some of these include 22 Jump Street, IT: Chapter 2, Judy, First Daughter, Yellowjackets (Season 1), and more.
