I happened to be home today and there was a guest on The Today Show or the one after it and talking about it and said it would was a HBOMax show and probably be on Binge in Australia.

Glad Stan got it .

By the way Will is 52 ! So in 8 years he would be 60 ! , looks about 40 something. Doesn’t look like plastic surgery either. Carlton aka Alfonso hasn’t aged much either.

So weird seeing the words HBO on the logo splash screen thingy before The Fresh Prince Reunion aired . Different HBO to Foxtel’s HBO deal for Binge?

Also if Big Bang Theory was added to Netflix first then Binge, I assume there is no reason Stan cannot get it (other than cost?) . It doesn’t seem “exclusive” to one streamer.

It would be great if Stan could pick up that and Young Sheldon.

Who produced the Fresh Prince Reunion? Could it have been a deal with the producers, not the distributor?

Not sure, all I found on IMDB it just lists a worldwide distributor as HBO Max.

Is it more about who has the rights to distribute … or who produced it when a streaming show goes to a streaming service internationally?
