Hulu paid an 'insane' price to get Schitt's Creek from Netflix

3 May, 2022

Popular sitcom Schitt's Creek found its new home on Hulu after a bidding war with Netflix resulting in a deal worth millions of dollars.

As reported by Puck News, the rights to stream the hit series were moved from Netflix to Hulu for a reported cost of 1.2 million dollars per episode. A three-year deal was signed for all eighty episodes and Schitt's Creek will be available to stream exclusively on Hulu in October. The deal allows for producer Paramount Global, who originally distributed the show through Lionsgate, to stream Schitt's Creek on Paramount+ after two years on Hulu. A separate deal will be struck for free, ad-supported streaming rights, and after three years the rights for the show will revert to its stars and creators, Dan and Eugene Levy.
