Netflix in Talks to Stream Live Episodes of 'Hot Ones'
The streaming giant aims to bring the popular YouTube talk show to its live programming lineup with host Sean Evans.
- Netflix is negotiating with BuzzFeed to produce live episodes of the YouTube hit 'Hot Ones' for its platform.
- Host Sean Evans will continue to present the show, which features celebrities eating increasingly spicy wings while being interviewed.
- The live episodes would be exclusive to Netflix, though the show would still remain on YouTube in its pre-recorded format.
- This move is part of Netflix's broader strategy to expand its live content offerings, which already include sports and comedy specials.
- Discussions are in early stages, and there's no guarantee the deal will be finalized.
