The sold-out celebration at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum delivered exclusive reveals for top IPs like "Stranger Things" and "Knives Out," with live musical performances from Lady Gaga and Hanumankind and the first-ever live Tudum stream directly on Netflix.
Maria Sanchez, SVP of Content Licensing at Paramount, details how the company is leveraging franchise extensions, expanding into FAST and AVOD ecosystems, and optimizing classic IP through strategic windowing and remastering to strengthen its footprint across Latin America.
The expanded docudrama has secured multi-territory deals across Europe, Africa, and Asia, including RTL, SVT, RTP, DR, and Now TV. Season one was a FOX Nation original, with two new installments set to continue the franchise.
The title will be released in the U.S., UK, Canada, Japan, and Germany. Boat Rocker manages global franchise development, including content distribution and consumer products. Animation services for the spin-off series will be provided by Jam Filled Entertainment.
The “Chicago” franchise alone has generated nearly $500 million for streamers in the U.S. and Canada since 2020. Peacock now leads all platforms with over $300 million in revenue from Dick Wolf’s titles.
