Netflix

Curious as to what is the last main show Foxtel / Kayo are broadcasting before moving WWE to Netflix. As Netflix have NXT starting on 8th Jan and Smackdown starting on 11th Jan due to time differences.

However the week before episodes of NXT air on 1st Jan and Smackdown on 4th Jan. So would this mean Australia misses out on these two shows due to Netflix deal not commencing until Raw broadcasts on 7th Jan, and Foxtel ceases 31st Dec 2024?

The trio are partnering and co-financing daily drama Tout Pour La Lumiere, a family saga set in the world of music and drama.

Shooting begins in the first half of 2025 and the show will be available on Netflix five days before the free-to-air broadcast on TF1 and its streamer TF1+.

Interesting that Netflix have taken the first window option with the series, usually you’d have thought it would’ve been the other way round like the Amazon/10 deal with Neighbours.

Live sport, daily dramas, what’s next - news? :joy:

I’d be keen.

Given their recent foray with the boxing match, expect more of this - with the streaming market getting very crowded, having some major sports (i.e. NFL games, etc), could be a drawcard which convinces some people to spend their money on Netflix.

Would it have 10’s sweeping camera shots and a Daily Baily Weather wall though :wink:

Facing a potential payout in the tens of millions at the very least from an invasion of privacy lawsuit over some sloppy editing on a 2022 Blumhouse documentary about a sociopathic fertility doctor, Netflix has emerged having to write a relatively small check thanks to a Midwest jury.

(Former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Drew) Brees and Scott Hanson (host, NFL RedZone) will also provide additional commentary outside of the U.S., with international anchors to be announced.

CBS Sports will produce the games, with NFL Media producing the pre, post, and studio halftime programming.

 I like how it’s not just the Superbowl that gets the big names.
