Now, where can I find that show I heard about – Was it on Netflix? No. Amazon Prime Video? No, not that one. Disney+? Ah, they’ve only got seasons three and four. Maybe it’s on Peacock, or NBCUniversal, or HBO Max… You’re probably familiar with this issue, and it’s not sustainable. Something’s got to give. The tensions in the air – the tension of upcoming mergers! 🤝 It’s started with Paramount merging with SHOWTIME and we’ll see where it ends up. Mark my words: the video-on-demand space is going to have a lot less competition in the coming years. Most likely, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are going to come out on top. 👆 What do you think – am I right in my predictions for TV streaming’s second season, or do you see all our main characters surviving? #CTV #AVOD #digitaladvertising

In the first half of 2024, original TV seasons on major SVOD platforms dropped nearly 20%, with Disney+ and Paramount+ seeing the steepest declines at 54% and 35%. Even tech giants like Netflix and Apple TV+ saw significant dips, signaling a broader industry contraction, highlighting the lasting impact of market conditions and the 2023 strikes on content production. This decline signals a shift in media investments towards platforms with stable output, while the value of existing #IP is likely to rise as streamers increasingly rely on established franchises. Additionally, the contraction may spur mergers and acquisitions, making struggling platforms attractive targets for consolidation.

US scripted series released in 2023 crash as Peak TV comes to an abrupt end New research published by Ampere Analysis reveals that a combination of strike action and a downturn in the original content boom saw scripted US series releases fall to 481 in 2023. This figure is below the 510 of COVID-hit 2020 and means 2021 and 2022 are the high watermark of 633 - the pinnacle of Peak TV. The number of series ordered was in an even more precipitous decline than releases. And due to the time lag between series being greenlit and hitting screens, this number is unlikely to rise in 2024.  The bulk of the decline in 2023 was due to SVoD services releasing 77 fewer seasons, and Broadcast TV releasing 55 fewer seasons. Broadcast releases have been falling slowly for many years, but the drop in 2023 can mostly be blamed on the strikes, delaying many new scripted seasons on broadcast TV to a mid-season start in January and February 2024. The potential for truncated 23/24 seasons doubling up with full 24/25 seasons starting in the fall may produce a temporary bounce in seasons released on broadcast in 2024, a trend we saw post-peak-pandemic in 2021. The more terminal decline is originating from the SVoD services. Netflix reduced its releases from 107 in 2022 to just 68 in 2023. This drop began in the first half of the year, so cannot be blamed on strike action. Other big reductions were from Peacock (-20 titles) Hulu (-11), Max (-9), and Paramount+ (-4). Furthermore, while other players like Amazon, Apple, and Disney+ maintained the number of series released in 2023, only Amazon maintained the series it ordered, meaning 2024 will be even lighter for almost all the major SVoDs. #peaktv #ampereanalysis #strikes #peacock #hulu #max #paramountplus #netflix #amazon #appletvplus #streaming https://lnkd.in/drVyR4W6 Ampere Analysis

As the new year begins, Hollywood’s largest media conglomerates are hip-deep in a cycle of merger-and-acquisition mania after years of disruption in traditional TV and film, and a particularly chaotic year in 2023. But in the present climate, is getting bigger really the answer? It’s becoming clear to many that dealmaking to bulk up on content and distribution assets is no longer the cure for the industry’s problems that it’s been since the 1990 nuptials of Time Inc. and Warner Communications; the threat to Hollywood’s old ways of making money posed by the rise of streaming platforms is too dire and too fundamental.  Read the full cover story here: https://lnkd.in/gXZNEWpW
