Netflix has acquired worldwide rights excluding the first window in Australia to 'Dive Club', a 12-episode teen mystery drama from the Steve Jaggi Company.
As of next year, Network 10's streaming platform 10 All Access will be rebranded Paramount+, as part of global revamp by parent company ViacomCBS.
Producer-director Mark Joffe and Easy Tiger are co-producing a two-part documentary for Network 10 which examines one of the country’s most infamous miscarriages of justice.
"Whether children’s content is a doona to hide under, or a superhero cape to throw over your shoulders, now more than ever it’s needed. Globally!"
ViacomCBS is calling for the scrapping of the drama quota, pointing to the steep decline in commercial free-to-air viewing of Australian dramas in the past 10 years, which is worse than the overall drop in FTA levels.
Network 10 is set to launch a new free-to-air channel, 10 Shake, which by day will air children's content and from 6pm-6am focus on edgier content for adults under 40.
The future of the TV landscape remains difficult to predict, but commercial networks expect to feel the impact of coronavirus on commissioning budgets well into 2021, and many broadcasters are concerned about scheduling into next year and extra costs associated with restarting production.
Arguably the most stressed players in the broadcasting sector, Foxtel, the Seven and Nine Networks and Network 10 are calling for the scrapping of local content quota obligations.
