When I wanted to watch the 9th season of TWD on Netflix today (mind you in German), I quickly realized that they only exist in English, but why?
Because RTL has the privilege. If RTL is through, the setting on Netflix will come too. The TV still pays better than streaming services because they buy the broadcast of the entire series.
Annoying is this battle for broadcasting rights anyway.
Thanks for the quick and helpful answer! 👍🏻
Probably because they should first run on RTL2 before they may be offered elsewhere.
That is with many series which the transmitters have privilege and only afterwards the series are to be looked in the InterNet and also the DVD / Bluray may appear. As long as the series was not shown on TV on the transmitter, no other release.
There were some series where the fans had to wait forever until they were shown or were released on media, as the broadcasters had the right but had no interest in showing them.
