In a pretty unique deal for a broadcast series, Netflix has acquired global rights to the upcoming CW reboot of Dynasty for all international territories outside of the U.S.
I hear Netflix became involved early in the process, expressing interest in distributing the show based on its iconic title, which has global appeal, and A-list auspices, Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.
Dynasty is produced by CBS TV Studios. The deal for the show between CBS Studios International and Netflix follows a similar pact between the two companies for another reboot of a series with global name recognition, – Star Trek. The sci-fi drama, which will run on CBS’ streaming service CBS All Access in the U.S., will have Netflix as its exclusive premiere home in 188 countries (excluding the US and Canada), with each episode available globally within 24 hours of its U.S. premiere.
Similarly, I hear Dynasty is expected to launch globally in the fall, premiering around the world simultaneously with its U.S. debut on the CW on Oct. 11.
Netflix previously signed a similar deal with Warner Bros. TV for international distribution of the CW drama series Riverdale — also based on a very well known IP — though I hear that agreement was more limited, covering many — but not all — territories.
