Finally, the 21st century has witnessed the rise of the streaming service as a primary studio. Netflix, originally a DVD-by-mail service, transformed into a production powerhouse with a simple, data-driven mandate: create content for every possible taste. Its productions range from the royal family drama The Crown (2016-2023) to the global phenomenon Squid Game (2021), a Korean survival thriller that became Netflix’s most-watched series ever. Similarly, Disney’s streaming arm, Disney+, leveraged its existing franchises into must-see event series like The Mandalorian , which introduced the internet sensation "Baby Yoda." Streaming studios have changed the rules of production, often prioritizing binge-able serialized storytelling over the traditional theatrical experience.
