Original Netflix content isn't inherently Netflix's content. Netflix has exclusive rights to air the content, so it's branded as original.
It's akin to a college football bowl game sponsorship here in the US. There's the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl, Go Daddy Bowl, Buffalo Wild Wing's Citrus Bowl, etc. The companies aren't actually in control of the bowl games, but they get the branding that's associated with it for that year.
Calling it a Netflix Original tends to be a misnomer, although I don't think this is the case with all of their shows.
- rplnt 11y agoAre there any reasons to restrict content other than collision with another distribution channel? If they have exclusive rights to it, no such issue should arise I think.
- noxToken 11y agoNone that I could think of. Netflix would still be bound by their contract - exclusive rights or not.
