Most of Netflix's 2021 slate of TV and film won't be hindered by coronavirus

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said he's confident that the company's slate of films and television shows planned for release in 2021 will find a place on the streaming service next year. The coronavirus pandemic has hindered content production in the U.S. and globally, postponing theatrical releases and cable television premieres. Sarandos said Netflix's production is "nearly fully operational" globally, and the platform is prepared to deliver the majority of the content on its calendar next year. Sarandos said more content will likely arrive in the back half of 2021, particularly its bigger titles, due to the delays in production caused by the pandemic. The company has already completed more than 50 productions since mid-March and is set to finish another 150 more by the end of 2020.

Netflix loses the battle, but it's still on target to win Wall Street's war

Ted Sarandos attends the Ted Sarandos panel during Netflix 'See What's Next' event at Villa Miani on April 18, 2018 in Rome, Italy. It wasn't Netflix's finest quarter, but if you're a long-term Netflix believer, you've got reason to smile. The streaming video giant reported 300,000 fewer global net subscriber additions than it forecast. Sure, the subscriber trajectory isn't great -- from 15.8 million additions in the first quarter to 10.1 million in the second quarter to 2.2 million in the third quarter. But Netflix warned investors of this earlier this year, saying last quarter that most people who wanted Netflix for pandemic quarantines had already signed up.

It said it expects to be slightly negative on free cash flow in Q4 as production restarts. It expects free cash flow to be about $2 billion for the full year 2020, up from its previous break-even to positive estimate. For 2021, Netflix said it expects free cash flow to be -$1 billion to break-even.

Netflix promotes content chief to co-CEO; adds 10M new subs

NEW YORK Netflix added a flood of new subscribers amid the coronavirus pandemic and also offered clues to a possible successor for founding CEO Reed Hastings, who on Thursday named the company's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, as co-CEO. This change makes formal what was already informal that Ted and I share the leadership of Netflix, said Hastings in a statement.

Netflix is reportedly getting more disciplined about big-budget projects

Netflix is tightening its wallet when it comes to big-budget projects with a narrow appeal, according to a new report from The Information. Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos reportedly told some Netflix executives last month that their spending needs to be more cost-effective in terms of the viewership for a show. In the past, Netflix has let chatter around a big project help justify its spending, even if viewership was not equally massive. Netflix has been spending big for original content. In April, Netflix announced that it would offer about $2 billion in debt to fuel its content spend and other expenses.
