Michelle Yeoh will feature in Discovery, possibly as lead

[Guy Gardener]

The exact wording of the contract is unknown to me.

What we were told is that CBS All Access is handling Canada and America. Meanwhile Netflix has the rest of the world, even if they do not have complete global coverage.

Netflix announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2016 that it had become available everywhere worldwide outside of Mainland China, Syria, North Korea and the territory of Crimea.[

Before this, even though Discovery is not "real" tv Netflix had to negotiate, review and renew individual regional rights to each country it wanted to screen unoriginal content inside. Which is near 200 contracts (per year, per series) depending on how you want to count the difference between a country and a territory.

This carte blanche superpass must save them meeeeeeeeeeeellions in lawyers fees, even if it means that they have the right but not the ability to stream media to China and North Korea.

CBS All Access is not handling Canada. Each episode is airing on the Space channel and then streaming on Crave afterwards.

What's Crave? I am planning on making a poll about viewing, and wondered about Canada's options?

It's a shitty Netflix competitor owned by Bell.
