The deal includes SVOD rights to the recently launched original SYFY series “The Ark,” Amazon Freevee’s original series “Leverage: Redemption,” and the crime series, “Almost Paradise."
The new episodes of the crime series had ten million views on the ARD Mediathek within the first week and a strong start in October on ARD’s linear service with four million viewers and a market share of over 15%.
The major global streaming platforms (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, Paramount+ and Max/HBO Max) will invest US$42 billion in original and acquired film and TV content this year, the latest Ampere Analysis forecast suggest.
