Netflix Didn't Think Top Gear Stars Were Worth Paying For
- 9 years ago
Some people might think the former hosts of Top Gear are worth top dollar, but not Netflix.
An executive at the streaming service has said that Netflix didn't believe Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - who all left the BBC car show after Clarkson assaulted a producer earlier in 2015 - were worth the money they were asking for to present a new show.
"We have past episodes of Top Gear, so we have a pretty good gauge of what audiences like," Neil Hunt, Netflix's Chief Product Officer, told the U.K. site Digital Spy.
