The shiniest object in the media business continues to be buzzy, exclusive, original programming on streaming platforms. Its glittering allure attracts new subscribers, generates breathless press coverage, and brings smiling executives to awards shows.
However, another truth, perhaps a bit less glamorous but just as compelling, lies beneath the gleaming surface. It’s this: When the allure of the new stuff begins to grow thin, it’s the popular series and franchises from mainstream broadcast networks and Hollywood studios that help these streaming behemoths fight their biggest enemy: Churn.
A bit of history: When digital services launched, they were built on robust studio catalogues and aggressive licensing of off-network hits, such as “Breaking Bad,” “Dexter,” “I Love Lucy,” “Friends,” and “CSI: Miami.” Over time, big-budget and high-concept original series, such as “House of Cards,” “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Stranger Things,” quickly transformed their business and the entire entertainment industry.

R. Kelly’s alleged sexual abuse of women and girls is the focus of a new documentary feature film BuzzFeed News is developing for Hulu.
The film will feature BuzzFeed News reporting by Jim DeRogatis — the veteran music critic and radio host who broke the explosive story on Kelly’s alleged sex cult for the site last year — along with deputy national editor Marisa Carroll, who has overseen BuzzFeed News’ coverage of the ongoing story.
Kelly has been accused of sexually abusive and inappropriate behavior toward numerous women and girls over the past two decades, including allegations from at least five women this month. In 2002 he was indicted on multiple counts of child pornography (before he was later acquitted). The R&B artist has never been convicted of a crime.
The documentary for Hulu also will feature interviews with key figures involved in Kelly’s past, including several survivors and the singer’s associates.
