While coronavirus has brought Hollywood to a halt, Netflix has enjoyed record success. but will the streaming giant’s well-stocked slate of future shows be enough to keep up that growth?
Netflix proclaimed this week that it’s finished filming the majority of movies and series due for unleashing this year, playing down considerations that its flow of hit shows like “Tiger King” could dry out, or consequent “Unorthodox” be delayed.
“Our 2020 slate of series and films are largely shot, and are in post-production remotely in locations all over the world,” said content chief Ted Sarandos.
“And we’re really pretty deep into our 2021 slate. thus we’re not anticipating moving things around.”
Analysts say Netflix’s scale, in terms of its sheer variety of current productions and world presence, create it best-placed to weather the pandemic storm.
The deep-pocketed platform can also turn to its vast network of overseas partners to license content — often subtitled — for domestic audiences.
