Netflix Licenses About 20 Paramount Series as Universal Live-Action Films Land Sooner

The pact signals looser exclusivity in streaming as studios seek wider distribution for high-profile TV and film libraries.

Overview

  • Netflix will stream Mayor of Kingstown, Watson and SEAL Team in the U.S. and internationally as part of the newly disclosed Paramount deal, with Mayor of Kingstown reportedly ending after its upcoming fifth season.
  • The company said the agreement covers roughly 20 Paramount TV series.
  • Matlock and The King of Queens are included for international territories, and Netflix has not specified season counts or start dates.
  • Netflix will start adding Universal live-action movies this month, with titles arriving no later than eight months after their theatrical releases.
  • Trade outlets note the cross-licensing comes during an ongoing corporate contest connected to Warner Bros. Discovery.
