New York has come up with quite an incentive plan to get Disney to film a live-action show for Netflix, which will be featuring Marvel superheroes. This deal is the largest production deal ever for the great state of New York.
The deal, reportedly involves a huge incentive of around $4 million dollars. It seems as though the project will consist of 4 series and 1 miniseries, including alomst 60 1 hour TV shoes. Filming is set to begin this summer.
The multi-million dollar Disney deal is expected to generate around 400 full-time jobs. Since these are Netflix episodes these jobs are pretty secure because they are not dependent on ratings.
Disney considered a few other locations for filming, including Toronto, since it announced the Netflix deal back in November. New York began coming up with an amazing incentive package to lure Disney, after N.Y. officials heard that Toronto was actually the front-runner as Disney’s first choice for their filming location.
“But the state has stepped up, as the governor said,” Mr. Iger said. “They put a fund together and they’ve put their money where their mouth is, and they’ve made it much more attractive than it used to be to do business here.”
Disney also has another exclusive deal with Netflix, they will stream animated and live-action movies from Disney Studios, beginning with movies that will be released in theaters in 2016.
