It&#8217;s also the studio behind a pair of comedy series announced earlier this year &#8212; &#8220;Flaked,&#8221; starring Will Arnett, and &#8220;Lady Dynamite,&#8221; featuring Maria Bamford, the person said.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">Generally, most networks don&#8217;t produce their own shows but rather broadcast shows made by other production companies.&nbsp;<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">Mythbusters, for example, is broadcast on Discovery but is written, shot, and produced by Australia&#8217;s Beyond Television Productions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">Netflix has been following this same model of taking shows from outside studios and paying for the rights to be the sole broadcaster. And so far it&#8217;s worked out quite well &#8211; subscriptions are up and the network has garnered nearly a dozen Emmys, the first streaming network ever do so.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">Bloomberg claims the move exposes Netflix to new financial risks &#8212; hiring the talent, renting equipment and overseeing budgets &#8212; but could also speed up its drive to offer a uniform service around the world. While the company controls global rights to many of the shows it brands as Netflix Originals, some of its biggest hits are owned by others: Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.&nbsp;<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">produces &#8220;Orange Is the New Black,&#8221; and Walt Disney&#8217;s Marvel unit created &#8220;Daredevil.&#8221; Netflix&#8217;s licenses will lapse at some point, making those series available to cable networks and online rivals.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">&#8220;Obviously there&#8217;s benefits if we produce a show,&#8221; Chief Financial Officer David Wells said on the company&#8217;s most recent earnings call in July. &#8220;If there&#8217;s great reach across the world and we can distribute that show and it will be consumed and enjoyed across the world. So there&#8217;s tremendous benefits there in terms of just the scale of distributing it.&#8221;<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><font face=\"sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">Ownership also reduces the reliance on major media companies like 21st Century Fox Inc. and Time Warner Inc. that are revaluating their relationship with Netflix. Consumers are watching less broadcast and cable TV, and more online, undermining the most important source of revenue for networks whose in-house production arms previously viewed sales of new shows and reruns to Netflix as purely additive.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix is back talking to Australian Production Companies with a view to producing an Australian TV series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-archive","category-marketing","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
