If BoJack Horseman’s syndication deal proves to be lucrative for Tortante and distribution company Debmar-Mercury, then we could see a boost in premium streaming series getting snapped up by cable networks, though Netflix’s complicated deals will likely keep the majority of that studio’s library exclusive to its own audiences.
(Amazon did already allow Transparent’s non-streaming release, so a precedent is already set there.)
With 48 episodes in its library so far, BoJack Horseman is still years away from the 100-episode mark that most shows traditionally use as a syndication benchmark, but this obviously isn’t “most shows.”
But perhaps Hulu, Amazon and others will get inspired.
