Netflix Is Still Keen On Live Reality Shows & So Are Its Rivals – Reality TV Summit

Netflix has been on the cutting edge of live unscripted series in the last year or two with series such as Pop The Balloon and Star Search sitting alongside events such as its BTS live special and Skyscraper Live.

Jeff Gaspin, VP, Unscripted at the streamer, speaking at Deadline’s Reality TV Summit, said, “Sports is always going to need to be live, but the question is what else beyond sports can really be eventized? Streaming, in general, was built for on demand, not for forced viewing, so you’ve got to give the subscriber, the viewer, a reason to come to live.”
