Ted Sarandos, the chief of Netflix, explains why didn’t he rescue the TV series “Agent Carter.”
Marvel’s Agent Carter, an American television series created for ABC by Christopher Markus & Stephen Mcfeely, inspired by Capitan America: The First Avenger 2011.
When asked to Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos about not rescuing Agent Carter, he told as predictable and boring as it is, it all came down to business and Netflix is searching for truly something original to own. It was just a business decision more than a creative one.
When at first ABC canceled Agent Carter, there was hope that Netflix would take the show and give it a life but they didn’t do that, and later they explain it’s all about business. Agent Carter became the first canceled title in this modern age.
