| Beyoncé's First-Ever Movie Is Coming To Netflix, And Millennial Twitter Is Freaking Out - BET Posted: 31 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT Bey season is pretty much a year-round affair, but things have been especially active in the Hive these past few weeks. Fresh off of the masterpiece that is Homecoming, Beyoncé is returning to Netflix with another gift: the re-release of her 2001 TV movie, Carmen: A Hip Hopera. The streaming platform's Strong Black Lead arm, consisting of a group of Black executives, officially broke the exciting news on Thursday via Twitter. The announcement explains that Carmen: A Hip Hopera will stream for the entire month of June, and is a part of a "rotation of throwback films" Netflix will be featuring throughout the year in an effort to expose and stream more classic Black films.  |
| Posted: 22 Apr 2019 12:00 AM PDT Streaming giant Netflix has inked a mega three-project deal with global superstar Beyoncé Knowles, worth a reported $60 million, a third of which went to her recent, much-anticipated behind-the-scenes Coachella concert special, "Homecoming," the first of the trio. It's a significant agreement that is representative of a recent sharp rise in content pacts with African American female creatives. As TV networks target the African American market ever more aggressively, a corresponding rise in demand for content for that audience has meant a demonstrable increase in exclusive access to African American content creators who networks are clearly willing to pay up for. It's noteworthy that Knowles' previous three TV specials — "Lemonade" (2016), "Life Is But a Dream" (2013) and the "On the Run" concert special (2014) — were all HBO broadcasts, but "Homecoming" was not. A likely explanation for that, according to Vulture, citing unnamed sources, is that binge-spending Netflix stepped in and offered more than HBO was willing to pony up for the special. Popular on IndiewireThough certainly less than the $100 million Netflix shelled out to get Shonda Rhimes in 2017, not to mention Ava DuVernay's matching $100 million overall signing with Warner Bros. TV inked in 2018, Knowles' deal with the streaming giant does match recent Netflix music/concert special pickups, including "Springsteen on Broadway" (2018), which came with a reported $20+ million price tag.

Henderson; Apple's multiyear deal with former queen of talk Oprah Winfrey; Tiffany Haddish's first-look two-year deal with HBO; and more, although financial specifics of each pact have been kept mostly under wraps. As relatively new players with deep pockets like Apple continue to aggressively enter the original content space, taking on streaming behemoths like Netflix and Amazon, more deals like the above can be expected. Additionally, recent launches of new networks targeting specifically African American women, like Cleo TV — which aims to be a home for black millennial women — increasingly crowd a content field that already includes black woman-focused OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, as well as BET Networks, TV One, and traditionally non-black TV networks seemingly starting to realize the profit potential of that historically underserved market. Unscripted series-heavy VH1 is one key example. "Peak TV" — a term coined in 2015 by FX Networks chief John Landgraf — continues to be redefined.
