This model would later lead into Netflix and Starz licensing content (that Starz had licensed from Sony and Disney) to Netflix’s emerging streaming platform.
NETFLIX SIGN UP TV
This allowed Pay TV companies the freedom to focus almost exclusively on the content their members wanted to see and didn’t have to factor in the varying needs of multiple advertisers. Pay TV differentiated itself from linear or “Free TV” as instead of using advertising as revenue, it used subscription dollars. I am not going to go back to HBO and the 1970s but more the late '90s when cable was at its peak and Pay TV was a huge part of what made cable attractive. There are just going to be too many options and not enough dollars to go around.Īt this point, it's prudent to talk about Pay TV and its history. So, what’s next?Īt this point, most BMD readers are fluent with the different streaming services out there and I have already started to hear growing worries in the comment sections and on social media about the number of services already out there and the new ones coming. Pandora’s Box is already open and we’re not going to be able to go back from subscription. It happened in music first, so it's logical that the media of movies would transition as well.Īs in the music industry, and as I’ve cautioned in this space a lot, moving from transactional where every piece of content has a specific cost to it, to subscription, where the all-you-can-eat platform is the only part that has a specific cost connected to it, just de-values the content. It's all streaming all the time.” The transition wasn’t just from analog to digital but from transactional to subscription. A phrase I’ve used in the past has been “We didn’t know what the world would look like when we transitioned to digital and now, we do. But what’s harder to tell is whether the rest of Nevermore’s student body’s going to be ready for the madness its newest student will bring to the school when Wednesday hits Netflix this fall.I’ve frequently talked about the transition to digital in these columns. It’s clear from the trailer that Nevermore Academy, a curious school run by Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie), is a much better fit for Wednesday, what with its classes focused on deadly duels and otherworldly creatures. But while Wednesday’s parents know that she’s simply being herself and protecting her brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), they also understand that if their daughter’s ever going to get a solid education, she’s going to need a school that can cater to her unique sensibilities.
Wednesday’s first trailer introduces its take on Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) just as she’s being expelled from yet another one of her “normal” schools for terrorizing her fellow students - something neither her mother (Catherine Zeta-Jones) nor father (Luis Guzman) are especially surprised to hear.
While the people Wednesday Addams deigns to grace with her presence might not enjoy her idea of a good time, that’s not to say that she isn’t making a good faith effort to, you know, connect with them. Though Morticia and Gomez Addams’ daughter is best known for her misanthropy, the first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming comedy Wednesday from director Tim Burton’s a very useful (and promising) reminder that the morose teen’s always been a social butterfly.
