As Netflix's rivals prep for their own streaming service launches, and snatch up content belonging to their own networks, Netflix could soon face a dry well when it comes to massively popular, 100+ episode shows.
Csathy noted that there are few other marquee programs out there for Netflix to snatch up that don't already belong to other studios with upcoming streaming services. Even if Netflix were to be able to obtain the rights, odds are it would have to shell out exponentially more money for them in order to pry the shows away from their home studio.
"Cheers" is already streaming on four different platforms, including Netflix, and shows like "Golden Girls," "Modern Family" and even "Alf" would likely get snatched up by their creator's studio.No soup for youOne, it won't get the show until 2021, giving U.S. subscribers time to binge all 180 episodes on Hulu, if they have the service. Two, "Seinfeld" never really took off internationally.
For comparison, "The Office" accounted for more than 7% of all Netflix views in 2018. "Friends" made up more than 4% of all Netflix views that year. So, the question is will "Seinfeld" prove more popular once it arrives on Netflix's platform in a little under two years?
