Britbox 'to rival Netflix' as ITV and BBC join forces to launch brand new streaming service
The smash series - starring Keeley Hawes and Richard Madden - isn't made by the BBC, but World Productions, which is owned by ITV.
They sold the six-part series - about a home secretary and her protection officer - to the multi-billion pound streaming giant to show in all countries other than the UK, Ireland and China. Carolyn McCall, announced the deal at the Royal Television Society’s conference in London in September last year.And with ITV further looking to increase their revenues and continue to diversify from the volatile advertising market, this could've meant that season two of Bodyguard gets snatched away from the BBC and end up on Netflix.
