Zoo - Scores deal more lucrative than the ones of Extant and Under the Dome

Jun 30, 2015

Share on Reddit


Thanks to omabin for the heads up.

The pact, which is believed to be paying considerably more than the roughly $900,000 Amazon is paying per episode for "Under the Dome," will offer the series immediately after the season concludes.
CBS' summer hot streak continues.

The company announced Wednesday that it had inked a domestic deal with Netflix to air episodes of its 2015 summer series Zoo, a global thriller based on the James Patterson novel of the same name. The pact is said to be considerably richer than the ones Amazon made for Under the Dome and Extant, which has the e-commerce company paying close to $1 million per episode. In addition to the hefty fee, Netflix has agreed not to air Zoo until after the entire season has concluded on CBS. (With Dome and this summer's Halle Berry vehicle, which Netflix had wanted as well, Amazon is able to put the series on its Prime Instant Video service four days after each episode airs.)

  1. I guess this makes it renewed then unless it does seriously badly.

  2. I am sooo happy with this, its ratings just became much less relevant now. CBS has some genius sales people, seriously. Between this and what they did with Elementary and The Good Wife, those guys are seriously impressive. I am really glad for Zoo!

  5. I will be forever disappointed that Netflix didn't get Extant. I effing loathe Amazon Prime. The interface on mobile is just not good, on web, even worse.

  9. I know, right? I am not really able to explain it better than to assume that CBS has the best sales people lol.

  10. Frankenstein Code as well! But I am not sure FOX is on the business of doing this as well, I've never heard of it at least

  11. Ahah you and SGU both did. Apparently I have been spreading around how much I am looking forward to Zoo! That's nice of you!

  12. Ah yes I thought of that but I guess I didn't remember to type it (I usually browse this site at work, ha)... And in this case I think it's wise to be a follower. :P Lucifer might not be something they'd do a deal for since it's not theirs, but the others are all 20th Fox right?


    And FOX did do a deal with Hulu for Sleepy Hollow I believe.

  13. You are the one that convinced me to give this show a try! This weekend i have so much to watch in this exact order:

    1. GoT (s5 Episode 5-10)
    2. The Whispers (2-5)
    3. AoS (season 2)

  14. All awesome choices! But I don't know if you will be able to watch anything after GOT seriously. That show (and TWD) have an effect on me that make me not able to watch anything else right after because I feel like everything is much less, you know what I mean? And those three final episodes of GOT... you will love them, I am sure!!

  15. Wow!! I will be watching the premiere tonight, so hopefully it's as good as i hope it is. I mean this makes sense with all they're doing, i hope the money will be worth it.

  16. You have been! Driving me crazy! = p

  17. Sales people sure, but let's not forget Les Moonves!
    The guy may be a jerk, but he has made CBS the most successful network for what.... 7 or 8 of the past 10 years. People here do not seem to like CBS, but it is the most watched and profitable network.... Much of that is his doing.

  18. Now we're just waiting for that season 2 renewal announcement from CBS.... :)

  19. Amazon Prime does not support Chromecast either.
    thank jesus roku 3 can. but there's no "continue watching" section so i have to hunt for my shows every time i want to watch prime. -_-

  20. You forgot 2 Broke Girls with 1.5 million.
    CBS has such an impressive skill to sell, it is just outstanding. Their syndication packages and sells to streaming services are just insanely good.

    ReplyDelete
  21. And now this will run for a loooong time.
    Hope Zoo turns out to be good! Ready to be surprised :)

  22. I'm really crossing my fingers for this show. I've been looking forward to it for months. This seems to say they have faith in it. Which is good for me.

  23. Those Broke Girls is all WB doing though, CBS does not own it. And that one is less impressive to me actually since 2BG was the first freshman comedy mega hit in a long long time so it is more normal that the market exploded for it imo!

  24. Alright! And James Wolk will finally have a show on more than one season, looks like.

    ReplyDelete
  25. LoL, I forgot 2 Broke Girls was from WB XD

    ReplyDelete
  26. Fingers crossed. He really deserves it though! Still bitter about The Crazy Ones!

  27. It's cool. No worries.

  28. Will this go to Netflix UK too then? Or is this strictly a US deal? And didn't Netflix do something similar when the bought multi-territory streaming rights before the show even aired? Seem to remember reading about that.

  29. Good news for the show... still haven't watched the premiere but it's next on my list!
