Big Checks
FX CEOJohn Landgraf has criticized Netflix for treating other people’s shows like their own, potentially leading viewers to believe that an FX hit like “Sons of Anarchy” is a Netflix show. He also said he wished he never made a deal with Netflix.
Still, Landgraf admits he has had to sell rights to Netflix in order to reward the talent responsible for the show. Many other studios have arrived at similar conclusions — the checks are too big to completely ignore.
Last week, Netflix licensed “How to Get Away With Murder” from Disney’s ABC Studios. And it’s negotiating two more deals for shows from other studios, according to a person familiar with Netflix’s plans.
