In Quest for Global Presence, Netflix Acquires Rights to 3 More Shows http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/28/b...lix-acquires-rights-to-3-more-shows.html?_r=0

Netflix is trying to persuade TV companies that it’s a friend, not a foe.Some media executives and industry analysts are growing skeptical that licensing shows to Netflix makes sense, because it can cannibalize traditional ratings and ad revenues. So Netflix is turning up the volume on its pitch that the streaming service is a valuable partner in the fast-evolving global television industry.To that end, the company plans to announce on Monday that it has landed global streaming rights to “Jane the Virgin,” the critically acclaimed CW telenovela about a virgin who ends up accidentally pregnant; “Zoo,” the CBS thriller about violent animal attacks; and the post-apocalyptic drama “Colony” from USA and Legendary Television. The deals follow Netflix’s announcement this month that it acquired the exclusive global rights for ABC’s hit drama “How to Get Away With Murder.”Anthony Padilla, left, and Ian Andrew Hecox in “Smosh: The Movie,” a Netflix exclusive aimed at teenagers and “tweens.“Why sell?” asked Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer. “We are a big buyer, and these guys are in the business of making and monetizing content.”

Netflix: What's coming and going in October https://games.yahoo.com/news/netflix-whats-coming-going-october-143002180.html

The best part of October arguably happens at the end of the month, when children run around neighborhoods asking for candy and adults dart from party to party on Halloween, but this month it’s also a busy time for Netflix releases.The streaming service will debut the first seasons of a few highly buzzed about CW series, including The Flash, iZombie and Jane the Virgin. While the first two will only be available for U.S. based subscribers, Netflix recently bought the global rights to Jane the Virgin (which stars Golden Globe winning actress Gina Rodriguez), meaning anyone can watch the show from anywhere around the world.Returning CW favorites like Arrow, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries and the latter’s spinoff, The Originals will also all have new seasons sporadically released for fans to binge.Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper October without the release of another American Horror Story anthology chapter. Those looking to binge the fourth season of the show, Freak Show, before the new season, Hotel, premieres on FX Oct. 7, will be able to do so.
