Netflix
have reached a deal with Warner Bros. and Fox to exclusively air the upcoming
Gotham series on their online streaming service once the first season of show
has finished airing on tv. Netflix will pay $1,75 million for each episode, and
it should start airing them in September of 2015, just before the second season
premieres.
"While
we typically license our programming country by country, we have licensed this
very special series to Netflix on a multi-territory basis," said WBWTD president Jeffrey R.
Schlesinger in a statement today. "Netflix is a perfect home for Gotham
following its initial broadcast in each respective country, giving Netflix
subscribers the opportunity to catch-up prior to the new season, whether
they’re already fans or discovering it for the first time." Ted Sarandos, chief content
officer at Netflix, adds that "Gotham
is the most anticipated new series of the fall season and we are thrilled to
offer it to our members around the world. The Batman origin story is sure to
have massive global appeal so it is fitting that, along with Warner Television,
we have created a new model for distributing a show that international and
domestic audiences will love."
