Overview
- SAG-AFTRA approached Netflix after the show's announcement to determine whether it would be treated as television or a podcast.
- The series is available exclusively on Netflix and is not distributed on major audio platforms typical for podcasts.
- The union declined to share specifics of the agreement, and its podcast FAQs note these deals generally exclude residuals and streamline work rules compared with TV contracts.
- The agreement comes as SAG-AFTRA began broader bargaining with the AMPTP on February 9.
- It remains unclear whether Netflix’s other original video podcast, Michael Irvin’s The White House, is covered by a similar union deal.
