Netflix wants to retain theexclusivity of its original content, which means that Netflix Originals won't be coming to other platforms anytime soon.
Earlier this month, Warner Bros. Discovery signed a licensing deal with Netflix to bring HBO original series, Insecure, to one of its biggest rival platforms. Aftewards, five other titles from HBO will follow: Band of Brothers, Ballers, Six Feet Under, The Pacific, and True Blood (outside of the U.S.).
Warner Bros also recently removed Westworld from its own streaming service and shopped the series to FAST (free ad-supported television) platforms Roku and Tubi. This is part of the company's $3.5 billion cost-cutting measures initiated by CEO David Zaslav.
We've always have found that we offer this content to our members in an unbelievable value on Netflix as now," Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said when asked about plans to license content to rival platforms. "And then, almost anywhere else we put it, there's either a crossover, and they otherwise have Netflix account or have a much smaller viewing base. We think we're taking the right course in terms of offering the content to our members and having it around even after its original run on Netflix."
