Netflix Execs Deny Mandated Plot Repeats for Distracted Viewers: ‘So Offensive’


Bajaria and Lin were joined by U.S. and Canada scripted content head Jinny Howe to tout upcoming titles coming to Netflix this year — with all three executives touting a new company motto to make each piece of content with the goal of it being “someone’s favorite.” Titles highlighted during the presentation included the upcoming “Little House on the Prairie” and “East of Eden” adaptations and Will Ferrel’s “The Hawk” golf comedy on the TV side, along with films like “Remarkably Bright Creatures” starring Sally Field and Greta Gerwig’s “Chronicles of Narnia.” When it comes to theatrical windows, a topic of much debate when Netflix seemed poised to acquire Warner Bros., Lin and Bajaria said that Netflix itself remains a streaming-first company — Lin added Netflix users tend to watch seven movies a month on the platform — so the strategy to release its films remains unchanged. On the live TV side, Bajaria said a decision has not been made on a potential second season of “Star Search,” but celebrated the lessons learned across production of the talent competition series as well as the engagement they saw in their first show with a live voting element to it.
