Netflix may have invented binge-watching, but a new Bloomberg report suggests the model is fraying as viewers abandon shows before second seasons. Meanwhile, the World Cup and esports are pulling audiences in different directions, and Apple TV is doubling down on prestige true crime.
The biggest story today is Netflix's own data suggesting its signature format is losing its grip.
A Bloomberg report using Netflix's own data shows viewers are increasingly dropping shows before season two, suggesting the binge model that made Netflix famous is losing out to TikTok and YouTube short-form content.
Live sports and esports are pulling massive audiences, reshaping how entertainment is consumed.
England's World Cup win over Mexico drew 23.1 million viewers on Telemundo, on track to become the most-watched Spanish-language U.S. telecast ever, a sign of how live sports still command massive linear audiences.
France Télévisions is airing the Esports World Cup live daily on France 2, a mainstream broadcast milestone for competitive gaming that runs through August with 24 games and a huge prize pool.
Apple TV and legacy acts like Herb Alpert prove there's still appetite for both fresh and familiar content.
Apple TV has greenlit 'Guilty Creatures,' a true-crime thriller starring Julia Garner and directed by Craig Gillespie, continuing the streamer's push into prestige crime drama.
Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass returned to the Hollywood Bowl for the first time in 59 years, with the 91-year-old trumpeter still drawing crowds and delivering a triumphant set.
