IndieWire's Millions of Screens - A podcast by IndieWire
Categories:
We are gathered here today to eulogize Quibi, the short-lived short-form streamer, that's quick bites have officially bitten the dust. What went wrong? In a word: Everything. Ben, Libby, and Leo look back at their original projections and lament the $1.75 billion that was spent on the failed endeavor. Additionally, Libby reacts to a recent spate of cancellations at Netflix which seemingly targeted shows with underrepresented leads, and discusses whether or not this points to the death of Peak TV or if this is just a temporary setback due to the coronavirus pandemic.
