Netflix strikes deal with Barstool for exclusive video rights, Variety reports

Netflix (NFLX) has reached a multi-year deal with Barstool Sports, under which the streaming giant will have exclusive rights to video versions of a trio of the digital media firm’s popular podcasts, namely “Pardon My Take,” “The Ryen Russillo Podcast,” and “Spittin’ Chiclets,” Variety’s Todd Spangler reports. The video versions of these shows will be available on Netflix beginning in early 2026, and full video episodes of the podcasts will no longer be available on YouTube (GOOG) as of next year, the author says, noting that Netflix will launch the shows in the U.S. at first, followed by other markets later.
