In recent years, streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ have disrupted the traditional entertainment industry. These platforms have not only changed the way people consume entertainment but have also created new opportunities for content creators. Netflix, for instance, has produced some of the most critically acclaimed shows, including Stranger Things, Narcos, and The Crown.

As the gold standard of prestige television, HBO consistently defines the cultural zeitgeist. Its production strategy favors auteur-driven, high-budget series, resulting in legendary hits like Game of Thrones, Succession, and The Last of Us.

It had grossed a billion dollars.
