Greg Peters, co-ceo of Netflix, paid tribute to the streamer’s U.K. production pipeline at a conference in London on Tuesday morning local time.
Peters cited shows including David Beckham’s docuseries “Beckham” and the controversial series “Baby Reindeer” as well as “One Day,” “Fool Me Once,” “Heartstopper,” “Top Boy” and “The Crown” as some of the U.K. shows that had succeeded on the platform, calling them “tremendously diverse” in terms of their content.
He restated the streamer’s commitment to investing in U.K. content, which has been significant since Netflix’s global launch in 2016. “We’ve continued to invest heavily in our slate,” he said.
“It’s why we continue to invest, continue to grow, even as competitors are going back.”

D.W. Waterson’s cheer drama Backspot, also produced by Elliot Page under Page Boy Productions, aims to tell a more well-rounded and ambitious story about the seemingly glamorous but occupationally hazardous world of competitive cheerleading. The film follows Riley (Devery Jacobs), an ambitious cheerleader hell-bent on perfection, as she, alongside her girlfriend (Kudakwashe Rutendo) and their best friend (Noa Dibertro), land highly competitive spots on a prestigious all-star cheerleading squad led by an overbearing head coach (Evan Rachel Wood) and her presiding assistant coach Thomas Antony Olajide). The film acts as a multi-hyphenate social commentary on queerness, mental health and coming-of-age tale for young women in sports.
Here, Deadline talks to Waterson about executing the perfect shot, casting their star leads and cinematic inspirations.
Deadline: What were some of the films that inspired Backspot?
D. W. Waterson: Bend It Like Beckham had a huge influence on me growing up.

The numbers are in and Beckham and Squid Game: The Challenge have topped the charts in terms of Netflix viewership when it comes to non-scripted titles.
The two series, a docuseries and reality competition, were the seventh and 15th most-watched non-scripted shows to debut in the second half of 2023, respectively.
But as Netflix continues to delve into the docuseries genre and ramp up its reality offerings, how do these shows compare to top shows from its previous data dump, in particular Love Is Blind.
Firstly, it’s complicated.
Beckham, which told the story of the former Manchester United legend’s career, debuted in October and scored 43.9M views. This was as a result of only being four parts.

A small group of advertisers were serenaded by Metallica’s Master of Puppets (one of those songs that Stranger Things brought to a new generation) as they walked into Netflix’s first in-person Upfront.
Held at Pier 59 Studios in New York, the event had the feeling of an immersive theater experience with a lot of black t-shirt-clad staff handing out drinks.
It comes as the streamer unveiled a number of new series and films including a new Kevin Williamson drama, a bull riding drama starring Tim McGraw and a slew of sports docs as well as more episodes of 3 Body Problem.
Shonda Rhimes kicked things off, talking up her move from ABC to Netflix, saying that she’s doing things that can’t always be done on broadcast television. “The definition of a Netflix show is one that people like to watch,” she said before introducing a sneak peek of Bridgerton’s third season,...

It was a night of surprises at the BAFTA TV Awards, with “The Crown” and “Black Mirror” failing to pick up any awards while “Succession” walked away with only one for Matthew Macfadyen for best supporting actor.
Macfadyen did not attend the awards at London’s Royal Festival Hall, prompting Helena Bonham Carter, who presented the category, to walk off with the iconic gold BAFTA mask with the promise she would get it to Macfadyen.
The international category also saw upset, with frontrunners “Succession,” “Beef” and “The Bear” all failing to win the award. They were instead beaten by little-known French series “Class Act.” It was a fact acknowledged by the show’s shocked lead actor Laurent Lafitte, who, upon accepting the award, told the audience: “Please watch our show. It’s called ‘Class Act,’ it’s quite good — not just because I’m starring in it.”

She played the role of Rebecca Donaldson Katsopolis, and he played the part of Uncle Jesse on Netflix and ABC. They got along well, and he defended her after she served her time for the college admissions scandal.

In all the excitement of the BAFTAs, it’s worth appreciating the craft that helps all those films make any sense at all. Here’s the full list of the British Film Editors’ award-winners.
Imagine a world without film and TV editors. It doesn’t bear thinking about, really. Making anything with a camera at all would be bloody hard, for a start, and then you’d have to use that take where Idris Elba realised he had yoghurt on his trousers. Oh, behave.
Good job, then, we’ve got British Film Editors, the non-profit association dedicated to the art of sticking all those bits of footage together to make something sensible-looking. Every year, they hold the Cut Above Awards, a celebration of editing achievement comparable to the guild awards in the States.
Held on 16th February, the 2024 awards pitched current awards favourites Oppenheimer and Poor Things alongside documentaries like Still: A Michael J.

Let’s be honest, we’ve seen the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers go head-to-head at the Super Bowl, but what’s always fresh and new are ads that air during the commercial breaks.
From Michael Cera’s partnership with CeraVe to a “Suits” reunion in Judge Judy’s courtroom, there’s truly nothing you can plan to expect from the lineup of Super Bowl commercials. Well, except for maybe another Ben Affleck-Dunkin’ Donuts collaboration, which is now a fan favorite. And who could blame him, the actor was reportedly paid $10 million for his 30-second spot he’s slated to appear in this year.
When the game isn’t on, the Super Bowl commercials keep you occupied and entertained. While some have already aired, there are many more to come as fans lead up to kickoff off on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Est.

Netflix added 13.12 million subs over the final three months of 2023 — its best Q4 growth ever. The streaming leader now has 260.28 million global paid subscribers.
Wall Street’s consensus was that Netflix would add 8.8 million subscribers from October-December — a number it easily blew away, which sent the stock (Nflx) soaring in after-hours trading. That said, Tuesday’s earnings report was not a perfect one; while Netflix surpassed revenue estimates, it missed the mark on profit forecasts.
The streamer’s password-sharing crackdown, officially dubbed “paid sharing,” drove much of the quarter’s revenue growth. Price increases chipped in a bit, as did ads, though that final category’s growth lags paid sharing.
As previously reported, Netflix reached 23 million MAUs on its ad-supported tier at the end of December. That likely translates to about 12-15 million actual subs on the plan, the analysts at investment bank Evercore Isi estimated in a Friday note...

As we wrap up our year-end coverage, IndieWire looks back at the people, projects, and ideas that defined 2023 — and what’s coming next.
As golden ages go, this one was more of a blip.
Five years ago, the box office celebrated nonfiction films: $22 million for “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?,” $14 million for “Rbg,” $17.5 million for “Free Solo.” Critical favorites and Oscar nominees included films from exciting American first-time directors, including RaMell Ross’s lyrical breakthrough about life in rural Alabama, “Hale County This Morning, This Evening” and Bing Liu’s moving personal exposé of domestic abuse in northern Illinois, “Minding the Gap.”
2023 lacked documentary touchstones. A few faith-based documentaries succeeded by preaching to the choir, but the most successful (non-concert) documentary released in theaters this year was the Yogi Berra baseball portrait “It Ain’t Over”. You also could include Magnolia Pictures’ “Joan Baez: I Am A Noise” or — if you...

Netflix further prized open the lid to its black box of data on Tuesday, with the streamer publishing a list of viewing figures for nearly 2,000 titles in its library.
The ratings dump covers the first half of 2023 and is measured as “hours viewed,” which departs from Netflix’s publication of “views,” the metric that it began using this year to rank its Top 10 lists.
Hours viewed puts shorter content at a significant disadvantage, while longer series (usually dramas) stand to benefit, but the figures do still offer a rare insight into Netflix subscriber behavior.
U.S. films and series unsurprisingly dominate Netflix’s list, with political conspiracy thriller The Night Agent topping the pile with 812M hours viewed. Little wonder Netflix renewed the series so swiftly.
The Brits were heavily represented, even if the first half of 2023 appeared a little light on new UK originals, with the likes of Sex Education,...

Ted Sarandos is happy the twin Hollywood strikes are over — but the Netflix co-ceo claimed the streamer didn’t see significant “interruption” in its ability to launch original series and films.
“We are mostly just thrilled that the strikes are behind us. I’m really excited about that,” Sarandos said, speaking Monday at the Ubs Global Media and Communications Conference in New York.
Sarandos, who was among the studio CEOs at the bargaining table for the contentious WGA and SAG-AFTRA negotiations, commented about the post-strike environment, “It’s one of those times when nobody says, ‘We have too much content.'” But, he continued, “We didn’t really have much interruption in our delivery to customers.”
“Not that Covid was good for anybody, but it did give us muscle for delivering content in an uncertain time,” the exec said.

December holidays mean a welcome break — from everything except new TV. As everyone gets ready to log off and tune out, our trusted networks and streamers are right there to offer new ways to escape and unplug this winter. December marks end of beloved shows “Archer” and “The Crown,” but it’s also a time for new series to shine.
On Netflix, Carol (Martha Kelly) faces the end of the world in…”Carol & the End of The World.” Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) leaves her life behind to find herself in the American Southwest — and even if “My Life With the Walter Boys” isn’t a Christmas movie, that formula sure sounds festively familiar. Hulu has “Culprits” and “Such Brave Girls” for those more interested in naughty than nice, and every fantasy-loving millennial has to tune in to Disney’s “Percy Jackson” adaptation to see how the novels come to life.

Netflix’s Brandon Riegg, VP of unscripted and documentary series, spoke about the streamer’s dive into sports-themed content and the smashing success of “Beckham” — its docuseries chronicling the life and marriage of famed footballer David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice — at Content London on Wednesday.
Riegg said Netflix did not give editorial control away on “Beckman.” “We retained final cut in no different than any of the sports leagues,” he said, adding that Netflix “talked to all of the talent and partners. We want them to feel invested and as a stakeholder, but also understand that our job and the producer’s job is to tell the best version of that story and to encompass and cover whatever they think is meaningful.”
The executive also revealed Beckham didn’t watch the series until after it had premiered on Netflix. “I don’t think he or Victoria had seen any of it.

David Fincher’s “The Killer” scores a solid opening weekend win, debuting on the Netflix Top 10 during the Nov. 6-12 viewing window at No. 1 on the English Films list with 27.9 million total views following its Nov. 10 release date — a good starting performance which makes the film Netflix’s most-viewed title this week.
Starring Michael Fassbender, Tilda Swinton, and Charles Parnell, the film follows an assassin who, after a fateful near-miss, “battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal,” reads the official logline.
Meanwhile on the English TV chart, Shawn Levy’s “All the Light We Cannot See” continued to stay at No. 1, hitting 10 million views in its first full week of availability. That’s a slight jump from its Netflix Top 10 debut figure of 9.8 million.
Moving up the chart to No. 2 is “Selling Sunset” Season 7 with 4.7 million total views following its first full week of availability.

Ventureland is teaming with podcast companies Campside Media and Tenderfoot TV on a new doc and companion podcast chronicling the fight around Atlanta’s “Cop City.”
The film will explore the politics, activism and turmoil that has surrounded the development of the 85-acre police and fire training center — set to be one of the largest facilities like it in the United States and located in a preserved forest — since it was announced by the city’s then-Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms back in Spring 2021. Currently in development, the doc will include on-the-ground reporting and key subjects who can shed light on the political flashpoint being constructed within the unofficial capital of the American South.
“The debate over Cop City is a microcosm of what’s happening in cities across the country,” says Campside co-founder Matthew Shaer. “It brings together all these different discussions: About race, about policing, about urban development and environmental resources.

For only the second time since mid-June, Suits is not the No. 1 title in Nielsen’s streaming rankings.
That honor belongs to Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher, which snagged the top spot for the week of Oct. 9-15. Writer-director Mike Flanagan’s spin on the titular Edgar Allan Poe story (and several others by the author) drew 1.23 billion minutes of viewing, edging out the 1.13 billion for Suits.
The latter series continued its months-long run above the billion-minute mark, however, and has now compiled almost 44.4 billion minutes (about 739.8 million hours) of viewing on Netflix and Peacock since it first hit the rankings in June. Nielsen notes that viewing of Suits’ ninth and final season, which is only available on Peacock, accounted for 6 percent of the weekly tally (about 67.6 million minutes) — the highest percentage for those episodes since the other eight seasons debuted on Netflix.

The past 18 months have produced an abundance of celebrity documentaries, but Netflix’s newly released “Robbie Williams” sets out to do something different. Charting Williams’ rise from clueless teenager in British mega-boy band Take That to solo superstar, there’s no talking heads and no glossing over the less salubrious moments in Williams’ 35-year-career, including his relationships, drug-taking and depression.
Director Joe Pearlman, the filmmaker behind last year’s “Harry Potter” reunion and Netflix’s recent Lewis Capaldi documentary, set out to make a series about Williams confronting his extraordinary life head-on. Eschewing traditional documentary formats, the four-part show sees Williams interviewed, mostly in bed, while watching archive footage stretching back three decades.
“We did an initial interview and Rob gave a brilliant interview but it was an interview I’d heard before,” Pearlman says. “We were like, there’s so much more here. We’ve seen the footage, we...

The return of Loki to Disney+ didn’t cause quite as big a stir as the show’s debut.
Season two of the Marvel series premiered Oct. 5, and it gathered 446 million minutes of viewing time over its first three days and change (it was released at 9 p.m. Et/6 p.m. Pt Oct. 5 in the United States), according to Nielsen’s streaming rankings. That’s about 39 percent lower than the 731 million minutes of viewing for Loki’s series premiere week in June 2021.
Disney said that the season two premiere, which runs 47 minutes, had 10.9 million “views” worldwide, which would equate to about 512 million minutes of watch time (the increasingly standard definition of a streaming view is total viewing time divided by run time). The 446 million minutes recorded by Nielsen includes viewing of season one’s six episodes as well, so it’s hard to say exactly how much time U.S.

“Suits” has been the most-streamed title of the week for the 15th time, per Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings. Each of these wins has been consecutive save for one, when the long-concluded USA show was dethroned by “Virgin River,” thanks to its summer debut on Netflix after previously streaming only on Peacock.
Second place went to “Grey’s Anatomy.” The medical drama often makes the chart as a result of frequent rewatching, but it saw larger viewership than usual during the Oct. 2-8 window, reaching 1 billion minutes watched for the first time since 2020.
“Haunted Mansion” took third place. The movie debuted on Disney+ on Oct. 4 and was watched for 992 billion minutes in its first five days of streaming availability, having premiered in theaters in July. It was followed by another movie: “Reptile,” which debuted at No. 6 with 740 million minutes watched last week before shooting up to fourth place with 838 million minutes watched this week.
