Turner & Warner Pact with Netflix

BEVERLY HILLS: Netflix members in the U.S. are soon going to be able to stream complete previous seasons of animated and live-action shows from Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Animation and Adult Swim.

Starting March 30, Cartoon Network shows such as Adventure Time, Ben 10, Regular Show and Johnny Bravo join the Just for Kids section on Netflix. Also coming to the service is Warner Bros. Animation’s Green Lantern.

The Adult Swim series Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Boondocks and Childrens Hospital are being made available as well. Coming exclusively to Netflix in January 2014 are the first and second seasons of Dallas, produced by Warner Horizon Television.

“We are delighted that Netflix will become the exclusive over-the-top streaming subscription destination for past seasons of favorite Cartoon Network and Adult Swim titles,” said Ted Sarandos, the chief content officer of Netflix. “We’re also thrilled to be able to offer the latest seasons of Dallas, one of the greatest all-time guilty pleasures.”

"The industry has evolved so that TV Everywhere and subscription video on-demand services can coexist with the appropriate windowing strategy, while allowing for more content flexibility to meet consumer demand in the changing digital landscape," added Deborah K. Bradley, the senior VP of program acquisitions for Turner Broadcasting. "We’re happy to offer our popular programming to Netflix members, as SVOD services have become another way to grow audiences and can introduce new viewers to our programming.”
