Facebook Willing to Pay Millions Per Episode for Exclusive Scripted and Non-Scripted Series

Facebook is making it known that it wants to step into the arena with likes of Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and YouTube by letting Hollywood’s top agencies that they’re putting up millions, potentially $3 million per episode, for exclusive access to a star studded TV show.  

For sitcoms specifically, they’re thinking about mid-six figures, though it should be noted that they’re aiming for family friendly content, probably because the streaming giants have a big focus on shows for high brow mature audiences. 

Any specific projects have yet to be announced, but don’t be surprised to see something in your FB feed soon.

(via Variety)

With the success of series exclusively released through online streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon is upping their bet on producing original content.

This next quarter, they’re setting to spend over $100 million on producing their original series, though we’re not sure how that’s divvied up between their new pilots and returning series. Hopefully, such a bank roll for Amazon Studios will bring more enticing original comedy series like the enticing Stephen Soderbergh and David Gordon Green pilot Red Oaks.
