Bloomberg: Netflix plans to make its “Originals” more original by shooting several new shows itself, instead of relying on outside studios. The world’s largest paid video streaming service is said to be considering filming Chelsea Handler’s new talk show at a space it leased last month in Hollywood. The move exposes Netflix to new financial risks — hiring the talent, renting equipment and overseeing budgets — but could also speed up its drive to offer a uniform service around the world. “Obviously there’s benefits if we produce a show.”
