Kevin Spacey isn't the only star getting into the Netflix business. Other projects expected to launch this year:

"Hemlock Grove": Eli Roth brings his particular brand of horror to this tale about how a rich kid and a possible werewolf team up to solve a grisly murder. (April 19)

"Arrested Development": The Bluths are back — and they're as dysfunctional as ever. The entire cast returns, although they'll be spotlighted in separate episodes with a more traditional reunion movie in the works. (May)

"Orange Is the New Black": "Weeds" creator Jenji Kohan further explores her fascination with women in trouble with the law in this prison series. Taylor Schilling, Jason Biggs and Laura Prepon star. (No release date)

"Derek": Ricky Gervais bypasses HBO with his latest about a good-hearted attendant at an old-folks home. Gervais' longtime foil Karl Pilkington is along for the ride. (No release date)
