Endemol have apparently been approached...

[TwentyOneThrones]

Endemol have apparently been approached by numerous broadcasters and even NETFLIX about possibly airing Big Brother, as Endemol are coming up with plans if Channel 5 does go ahead and cancel! So maybe it's not all over, even if C5 pull it - @SuperTV247

The thing that would be annoying about Netflix is the amount of new fans it would reach not realising that BB1-BB19/CBB1-CBB22 exist presuming Channel 4 and Channel 5 both keep the rights to their series’ and don’t share them.

[Cal.]

Not here for Netflix era BB fan Twitter with a collage of ‘Big Brother legends’ just including 3 or 4 mediocre housemates from the first Netflix series!

[Greg!]

Slay me, netflix would do such a good job of BB and give them a bigger budget

[Tom4784]

Netflix would be great although I'm not how it would work in it's current format, I don't think Netflix has ever done live shows before or phone ins and such.

I'm guessing if it were to happen, they'd change the format to the US one where they wouldn't necessarily need live shows for it to work.

Was thinking This Myself

[Shaun]

I guess all of the voting information would just be shared online on Twitter with very clear closing times. Wouldn't be too different in that regard, but not sure I'm keen on the idea of a catch-up only series.

[Greg!]

What does OTT players mean btw

[glibberglobber]

Doesn't it mean over the top?

[Jodie.]

What does OTT players mean btw

https://digiday.com/media/what-is-over-the-top-ott/
OTT stands for “over-the-top,” the term used for the delivery of film and TV content via the internet, without requiring users to subscribe to a traditional cable or satellite pay-TV service like a Comcast or Time Warner Cable.

I doubt it would remain a phone in if it was on Netflix or basically any other channel in fact. It’ll probably be a free app vote like Love Island. Even survival of ghe fittest has that and that gets like 300k viewers with a much bigger production budget than BB so I’m confused as to why BB needs to cut down?

[Wizard.]

Snatch ha!

[Maru]

Probably whoever would get BB wouldn't keep the same formula, as they still need to make it profitable again... but then again, if 24/hr livefeeds became a thing :flutter:

[Marsh.]

I don't believe this for a second.

[Rob!]

Netflix would be interesting. Potentially they could have a live feed just on there to click on at any time

[lewis111]

Netflix cancel Like everything so even if they did pick it up it would probably be for the one series

[Marsh.]

Funny. They were criticised for a time for cancelling nothing.

[CiaraNelly2000]

I would prefer it to stay on tv

[Gstar]

It would be nice for the show to remain on TV at least. I just hope whoever picks it up introduces more live feed

[Marsh.]

They've probably fed this bulls*t to the media themselves in the hope that some broadcasters will go "Oooh, there's interest/demand for BB? Should we give it a go?"

[Eddie.]

I would rather have it stay at the telly because I am not willing to fork out my money for Netflix...

[Ant.]

Ugh imagine "A NETFLIX ORIGINAL" playing before big brother
The intros would be 2 minutes long

[Eddie.]

tight bitch!

Yes I know, I'm broke at the moment...

[Scream]

The show is a sinking ship and I think even if it went back to basics it still wouldn't get good ratings. I think having it on Netflix would give the show new life and would spark interest.

I do think C4 should take it back though

[BigBrotherGuy100]

Channel 4 should just buy back the rights, keep it off the air till the 20th Anniversary and do one final send-off.

[Morgan.]

If they're gonna buy it then at least do more than a final send off.

[Underscore]

Netflix should have it. Put all of the past series on and then change BBUK to BBUS format and air it on Netflix as a Netflix Original.

[y.winter]

Not sure how Netflix would do it, as live shows is quite against their strict agenda (afaik the same happens with sports broadcasts). They do have the Japanese "Terrace House", which is miles apart from BB but somewhat around the same theme - so it more likely they'll do it rather than BB. Though Netflix does mean LF and making BB popular again (only they can do it).

I believe C4 are reconsidering abandoning BB and of course they would be a great option. They've never actually recovered since 2010.

[Jodie.]

Today, Netflix made a deal with Sky so I’m thinking they could use Sky for live shows?

[glibberglobber]

Cringe @Netflix owning BB

They could release a new ep everyday and on Fridays have a live stream, could be an experiment for them

Channel 4 honestly seem to be having an existential crisis, they don’t know if they should just be the bake off channel or try and return to form to how they used to be with them brining back stuff like Crystal Maze and the format of friday nights that they used to do so well with stuff like late night comedy talk shows (I.e. the big narsty show). Seems like they’re trying to get back to early-mid noughties channel 4 so I would never say never about them potentially picking it up even if it is unlikely.

[JoshBB]

Please not Netflix. Removing the live elements of Big Brother would genuinely ruin the show

[armand.kay]

girl netflix skips that automatically once you've watched one ep

[armand.kay]

I think the rights to the series go to whoever owns the show because everytime I try and watch something from a c4 series c5 clocks me for copywriter.

urgh imagine if they put BB6 on their in hq :flutter:

[Barry.]

I'm ready for Netflix to take it.

[Morgan.]

In the case of Netflix not accepting, I think YouTube Red (or is it premium now :suspect:) would be a good fit. It's subscription based so they'll have a budget, and they have capability for livestreaming.

[Beso]

Bb is too big to ditch....what you all sweating at?

[pontyboi]

Its really not.

[Ramsay]

Exactly what I'm thinking, netflix sounds so unrealistic, the show needs a break.

[armand.kay]

Maybe they've just agreed to put all/some of the old seasons on netflix just to spark up interest again until it gets picked up again in a few years :shrug:

[ImBatman]

if it goes to netflix i think we could see a change in format...although i love bbus i wonder how fans of the original format will take it

[Jase.]

lol Netflix just isn't going to happen!

[Marsh.]

Netflix better not be dropping Kimmy and picking up this garbage.

[Nicky91]

Netflix :amazed: :clap2: great news

Netflix is just T*'s wet dream...

it's good to have dreams, even those :laugh:

[JoshBB]

it'd be a real shame if it adopted the BBUS format. The UK format is (one of) the only BB's in the world to focus on something other than the strategic side of noms etc, and it'd suck to lose that variety.

You do realise that every BB except American and Canadian have the same format as us?

[Marsh.]

Yeah the public vote is the traditional format. BBUS didn't like it and changed it very early on.

[JoshBB]

To be honest, the only BBs i even hear about are the UK/US/Can/AUS. I'm not the most international bb fan but I think our format is the best and I'd hate to see it change.

That's not to say I don't enjoy the 'other' format, as I really like BBCan, but it's not as good to me. And I know many other BBUK fans feel the same.
