Netflix should think about an innovation that film and series fans without a subscription could look forward to.
The content of the streaming service may soon appear on TV.
If you want to see Netflix originals like "Stranger Things" *, "The Witcher" or "Bridgerton", you have to take out a subscription.
No other platform offers the series mentioned.
In addition, they are not shown anywhere on free TV.
The latter could change soon.
As the magazine
The Information
claims to have learned from insiders, Netflix is currently considering a change of strategy.
Accordingly, the streaming service is open to discussing with TV broadcasters.
With a little luck, the most popular in-house productions
will soon be on television
.
How likely is it that Netflix movies and series will be shown on TV?
Netflix has not yet officially confirmed that talks have taken place between the company and TV stations.
As
The Information
claims to have learned from insiders, the streaming service is said to have already contacted NBCUniversal and ViacomCBS.
If an agreement was reached, Netflix content could soon be on American television.
And what about German TV channels?
Depending on whether television broadcasts are financially worthwhile for Netflix, this strategy could
also become an issue in the German market
.
The Information
currently only knows of discussions with US companies.
However, German viewers have already seen Netflix content because in this country, for example,
“House of Cards” was broadcast on Sat.1.
So the idea is not entirely new.
It is possible, however, that Netflix Originals will appear more frequently on free TV in the future.

What Netflix content could appear on TV?
Anyone who hopes that new content premieres will take place on Netflix and on TV at the same time may be wrong.
It cannot be assumed that the streaming service will sell current hits to television stations.
This would run the risk that many users would consider their subscription superfluous.
On the other hand, TV starts of older Netflix hits, such as the first seasons of “Stranger Things” or the completed film series “To All the Boys I've Loved Before”, are more likely.
