Netflix Just Bought All Seven Walking Dead Shows — And Season 12 Suddenly Looks Reachable
Netflix has acquired the streaming rights to all seven "The Walking Dead" television series, including the flagship show and its various spin-offs, in a deal reportedly worth $500 million.

The League of Legends KeSPA cup will air globally on Disney+
Disney+ has secured global streaming rights for several esports tournaments organized by the Korea Esports Association, including the League of Legends KeSPA Cup and events leading up to the 2026 Asian Games. This deal expands upon last year's agreement, which was limited to Asian viewers, and will feature games like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and PUBG Mobile. The move raises concerns about the fragmentation of esports viewership, potentially requiring subscriptions to platforms like Disney+ instead of free viewing on Twitch or YouTube.
