"It has long been a dream of mine to produce and I have found the perfect partners in my friends at Netflix. They have been an inspiring creative home for me from 'The Crown' to 'Pieces of a Woman' and I am thrilled to be on this journey alongside them," said Kirby. OTT Releases Of The Week: Álvaro Morte’s Money Heist Season 5 on Netflix, Camila Cabello’s Cinderella on Amazon Prime Video, Aparshakti Khurana’s Helmet on ZEE5 and More.
