As reliably happens every few years in the current age of on-demand programming, another new streaming deal is set to be signed, this time involving The CW and Netflix.
While that’s certainly great news for Netflix subscribers, those who rely on Hulu to stream in-season CW shows as they air will soon be out of luck.
Hulu wanted a new pact to include “stacking rights” to the entire current season of CW shows, which resulted in an impasse during negotiations.
Unfortunately, this particular agreement is a decidedly good news/bad news scenario, depending on which specific service one subscribes to.
