So! Since I’ve had two asks telling me Gillian would never say that Netflix put money into The Fall, and that they were never involved in the production of it, this Wizard World link is for them…and anyone who cares about fact. Start at 31:45.
This year wasn’t the first that Gillian attended the Netflix after-party, either. She was also there in 2014 and 2016.
But Gillian apparently never said any of this and never attended any Netflix parties until PM invited her this year. Silly me. Watch this, anyway.
(And huge thanks to @altaircolin!)
Étiquette : the fall
Yet, in its third outing, The Fall is now outshadowed by some of the other British drama that Netflix co-funds. Which, by the way, is a neat economic model for the BBC. Expensive shows such as The Fall – which, with those lead actors, surely costs more than £1 million an episode to make – can stay creatively British. Netflix takes a hands-off creative approach, while pumping hundreds of thousands of pounds an episode into non-U.K. rights for these premium BBC shows. /Forbes/
The Fall is still a huge success for BBC and Netflix. BBC sells it all around the worlds, they even sold the remakes right in France for a huge amount of money, and if it’s a success, it’ll give ideas to other countries. (It’ll suck big time, but it’ll be a success because French people have bad tastes, it’s horrible!)
Many rude blogs say The Fall is a BBC show and has nothing to do with Netflix. I don’t have Netflix so I’m going by what I’ve been told but doesn’t Netflix air The Fall? Didn’t they exclusively get rights to S3? I thought it was common knowledge.
The Fall is produced by BBC Ireland, mainly, but Netflix has airing exclusivity in many countries. It’s not a Netflix original series as Orange is the New Black or The Crown for example. It’s a huge success on Netflix, though, and they own and can sell international rights for VOD in other countries.
