Netflix to License Loudermilk in Select Regions
In a move to expand its offerings to a wider audience, Netflix has announced that it will be licensing the critically-acclaimed comedy series "Loudermilk" to select regions around the world. The show, created by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, has gained a reputation for its witty humor and heartwarming storylines, and fans of the series will now be able to enjoy it on the popular streaming platform.
"Loudermilk" premiered on The CW in the United States in 2020 and has since gained a loyal following. The show follows the story of Sam Loudermilk, a recovering addict who moves to a new town to start fresh and helps others overcome their own struggles. The series has been praised for its nuanced portrayal of addiction and recovery, as well as its well-developed characters and witty dialogue.
Netflix has acquired the rights to "Loudermilk" in several regions, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and parts of Europe. The show will be available to stream exclusively on Netflix in these regions, with new episodes premiering on the platform alongside the original broadcast on The CW.
"We’re thrilled to bring ‘Loudermilk’ to Netflix audiences around the world," said Peter Farrelly, co-creator of the series. "Our show has resonated with viewers in the US, and we’re excited to share it with fans in other countries who will appreciate its humor and heart."
The licensing deal is part of Netflix’s ongoing efforts to expand its content offerings and reach new audiences. The streaming giant has been aggressively pursuing deals with independent producers and studios to license popular shows and movies, and has also been investing in its own original content production.
"Loudermilk" joins a growing list of popular shows available on Netflix, including other CW series like "The Flash" and "Arrow," as well as popular international shows like "Peaky Blinders" and "Killing Eve."
Fans of "Loudermilk" can expect to see new episodes premiere on Netflix in the coming months, with the first season currently available to stream in select regions.
