Netflix announces deal to buy Roald Dahl Story Company

Netflix NFLX, 3.41% said Wednesday that it will acquire the Roald Dahl Story Company, expanding on a partnership that began three years ago to create a slate of animated TV shows.

“These projects opened our eyes to a much more ambitious venture — the creation of a unique universe across animated and live action films and TV, publishing, games, immersive experiences, live theatre, consumer products and more,” Ted Sarandos, co chief executive officer and chief content officer, and Luke Kelly, grandson of Roald Dahl and managing director of the Roald Dahl Story Company said in a blog post .. Stories such as The BFG, The Twits and Fantastic Mr. Fox “and their messages of the power and possibility of young people have never felt more pertinent,” they said.
