Netflix probably isn’t done poaching TV’s top creators

Traditional TV has a void to fill after losing top creators to Netflix and Amazon.
The streaming-video giants have been stockpiling the talent behind TV’s “must see” shows, as they make more exclusive programming for their platforms. Netflix inked wide-ranging deals giving them overall access to American Crime Story creator Ryan Murphy, Scandal showrunner Shonda Rhimes, and GLOW and Orange Is the New Black producer Jenji Kohan, rather than buy show by show. Amazon snapped up star producers like Amy Sherman-Palladino, the woman behind its Emmy-winning Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead. And Hulu recently signed The Handmaid’s Tale producer Bruce Miller.
