Julie's Green room is a colaberation between my three favorite thing from childhood 
1. Julie Andrews 
2. The Jim Henson Company 
3.Performing Arts

I have been calling Netflix for a release date since June and they finally told me Febuary so I called again today and it went from "sir, I can't find any record of that show in our Database" to "we can't give you a release date or any new information". Called the Jim Henson Company and they claim to not have any control over the release date  

Why is Netflix being so secretive??? When the Gilmore Girls reboot was announced, there was publicity out the wazoo and a release date months in advance. I think a new project from Julie Andrews deserves just as much hype

Hmm...most of the press says debuts "early 2017" Some articles state Feb. 1st, 2017 but without confirmation. Haven't checked to see if it's there today. maybe there still doing post production on it?

It is a show aimed at pre-schoolers, so the hype of Gilmore Girls is a bit much to expect.

According to this tweet, it's starting today.

Then again, according to this one, it starts March 17.

I'm just worried that Fuer Trump has signed an executive order for Julie to be locked in a Netflix basement, with the cast of the Muppets

Per Netflix, the entire 13-episode series will be available to watch simultaneously starting Friday March 17, 2017.

I'm a member of the forum from the second tweet that dates it as March 17th. The mods there have contacts with Julie's daughter. Apparently, the show was set for February, but pushed back to March 17th. Publicity starts this month.

Oh my! Such wonderful news! Julie Andrews is my childhood idol as Mary Poppins is my favorite motion picture! 

She is such an inspiration to me because she persevered even after the throat surgery that robbed her of her beautiful voice by reinventing herself and she is still going strong. 

She is unstoppable!
