The Official Star Wars Site
has announced a fantastic deal! An exclusive licensing agreement with The
Disney/ABC Television Group brings Star Wars Content to Netflix streaming
members for the first time!
The Galactic Republic, Disney/ABC Television Group, Lucasfilm, and Netflix
Inc. today announced the highly anticipated debut of the sixth and final season
of the Emmy(r) Award-winning series Star Wars: The Clone Wars exclusively
to Netflix members in the US and Canada on Friday, March 7. Accompanying the
13-episode new season dubbed "The Lost Missions" will be the entire Star
Wars: The Clone Wars saga, which includes several director's cut episodes
never seen on TV as well as the feature film. This multi-year agreement also
makes Netflix the exclusive subscription service for the entire Star Wars:
The Clone Wars series.
In these eagerly anticipated episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars,
some of the deepest mysteries of the conflict between the light and the dark
sides of the Force are revealed. An intrepid clone trooper discovers a shocking
secret, Anakin Skywalker's closest relationship is tested to its limits, and
what Master Yoda discovers while investigating the disappearance of a Jedi could
forever change the balance of power in the galaxy. Fans will not only be able to
watch the thrilling finale, they'll be able to see more of Star Wars: The
Clone Wars than ever before as Netflix will also stream the director's cut
of seasons one to five.
"Stars Wars is one of the most iconic franchises of all time and this
series joins a long line of Disney content that Netflix members are and will
continue to enjoy for years to come," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content
officer. "The Clone Wars marks an important moment as Netflix welcomes
more and more first-run content from The Walt Disney Company and its
subsidiaries."
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is the first time any Star Wars
content has been available for Netflix streaming members. The deal follows a
recent announcement from Netflix and The Walt Disney Company to bring multiple
original series based on Marvel characters to the service in 2015. Netflix will
be the exclusive US subscription television service for first-run, live-action,
and animated movies from the Walt Disney Studios including titles from Disney,
Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios,
Disneynature, and Lucasfilm beginning in 2016. Netflix members can currently
enjoy a wide range of Disney, ABC Entertainment Group and Disney Channel films
and TV shows across the 41 countries where Netflix operates.
I am so glad that my Netflix account is finally paying off big! Can't
wait! |
