Netflix Maintains High-Priced Relationship With 'Friends'
Techlife News
|December 9, 2018
Netflix will still be there for fans of the old TV series “Friends,” but maintaining the relationship will come at a steep price.
-
The video streaming service paid $100 million to keep showing “Friends” in the U.S. through 2019, according to a report in the New York Times. That’s more than triple the $30 million a year Netflix had been paying for the long-running TV series about six 20-something friends in New York. The report cited two unidentified people with direct knowledge of Netflix’s deal with the series’ rights holder, AT&T.
