Paramount acquires UFC rights in 7-year, $7.7 billion deal with TKO Group
Paramount will become the new home to all Ultimate Fighting Championship events in the U.S. under a seven-year agreement with TKO Group announced on Monday. Under the deal, Paramount will exclusively distribute the UFC's full slate of its 13 marquee numbered events and 30 "Fight Nights" on its streaming platform Paramount+ — with select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS — starting in 2026. In an interview with CBS Sports, UFC CEO Dana White said his company is talking with the Trump administration about hosting a fight at the White House on July 4, 2026, to mark the nation's 250th anniversary. "Imagine a massive fight on the lawn of the White House on CBS," White said. A White House source familiar with the matter said such an event is anticipated next July 4. The 7-year deal marks a shift away from the UFC's existing pay-per-view model, which Paramount and TKO say will allow the mixed martial arts programming reach more consumers nationwide. "Paramount's advantage lies in the expansive reach of our linear and streaming platforms," David Ellison, chairman and CEO of Paramount, said in a statement. "Live sports continue to be a cornerstone of our broader strategy — driving engagement, subscriber growth, and long-term loyalty, and the addition of UFC's year-round must-watch events to our platforms is a major win." Mark Shapiro, president and COO of TKO, added that the deal will mean "deeper engagement for UFC's passionate fan base" and that its athletes "will love this new stage." The seven-year deal has an average annual value of $1.1 billion, or $7.7 billion over the length of the contract, the companies said Monday. Paramount, the parent company of CBS News and Paramount+ and now owned by Skydance, also said it intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. "as they become available in the future." Shares of TKO — which, in addition to the UFC, also houses the WWE — jumped more than 10% in Monday trading.

Is 'KPop Demon Hunters 2' happening? Here's what we've heard about the hit Netflix movie's future
It's safe to say 'KPop Demon Hunters' is a Netflix sensation by this point, right? Not only is it the streaming service's most-watched animated original ever, it's overtaken movies like "The Adam Project" and "Bird Box" to become Netflix's fourth most-watched English-language movie of all time. Nearly two months on from the hit animated musical film's release, it is still the platform's No. 1 watch — 'Kandahar' stole that spot briefly, but Huntrix has already reclaimed the top spot — and "KPop Demon Hunters" songs and scenes continue to generate tons of buzz all over social media. It wasn't just a hit with fans, either; critics love it, too. The movie's currently sitting at an impressive 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and has (rightly) won praise for its characters, its vibrant visuals and that killer soundtrack. Seeing as it is most definitely Netflix's next big thing, it only makes sense that fans are desperate to know whether 'KPop Demon Hunters 2' is something we can look forward to streaming in the future. At the time of writing, we do not have a firm answer from Netflix, so I've done my best to try and answer that question as best I can. Here's everything we know about the future of 'KPop Demon Hunters' right now. At the end of July, TheWrap reported that Netflix was (understandably) looking to capitalize big time on the 'KPop Demon Hunters' craze as much as possible. The movie was apparently being viewed as Netflix's version of 'Frozen," and the report claimed there were plans for two animated sequels, a live-action remake and/or maybe even a stage musical. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. However, we still haven't had an official announcement from Netflix, and thus still do not know whether 'KPop Demon Hunters' will return, or how big that theoretical return could be. The latest news on the matter comes from a recent interview The Hollywood Reporter published with co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans and Netflix film boss, Dan Lin. 'I think it's going to be part of our lives for a bit. I don't see the fandom slowing down,' Kang said. 'We hit an all-time high in viewership in week five, which is absolutely insane.' It's Dan Lin who makes it sound like we've not seen the last of Rumi, Zoey and Mira. Lin adds that Netflix is 'excited to explore what could be the next adventure for Huntrix.' ''KPDH's' success comes from its original, fresh story so if we do embark on a sequel, we would want to take our time to make sure that any future stories we tell with our favorite demon hunters retains the flair and uniqueness of the first film', Lin adds. That's a promising stance for a potential 'KPop Demon Hunters' sequel, seeing as both directors have already expressed interest in revisiting or expanding that world. When asked by ScreenRant whether they were thinking of follow-up ideas, Kang had this to say: 'Always. There are always side stories, and there are things we've thought of while making this one. There are a lot of questions that are answered, but not fully. I think there are a lot of pockets that we can explore.' Similarly, Appelhans told Shine On Media: 'Because we had to pack so much into 85 minutes — it's a pretty big idea and a lot of pieces — there are so many unanswered questions, in a good way, and so many avenues that could be their own story, so many possibilities.' So, in essence, if all the major players can agree on the right story, or the right new way to explore this universe, then it sure seems likely that 'KPop Demon Hunters 2' is in the pipeline. And seeing as the hype shows no signs of dying down just yet, I'd be shocked if the movie's future wasn't confirmed soon. In the meantime, we'll just have to be content with streaming 'KPop Demon Hunters' on Netflix on repeat. Hope my neighbors aren't sick of hearing 'Soda Pop' and 'Takedown' on repeat yet… Looking for something new to watch while you wait for more 'KPop Demon Hunters' news?

Harry and Meghan sign reduced deal with Netflix
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed a new deal with Netflix, but will continue making projects on more limited terms. The couple have worked with the streaming service since 2020. Their previous Netflix deal bought the streamer exclusive rights to their output, and the new multi-year agreement is a 'first look deal.' Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will continue to develop film and TV projects for Netflix, but on more limited terms, the streaming giant announced Monday. The estranged British royal and his wife have worked with Netflix since 2020, producing documentary Harry & Meghan and lifestyle series With Love, Meghan. The latter showcased the Duchess of Sussex as a thriving domestic maven, hosting guests, harvesting honey and mixing bath salts against an idyllic California backdrop. Netflix has extended the subscription to a second season, and a holiday special is due in December. But while the pair's previous Netflix deal bought the streamer exclusive rights to their output, the new multi-year agreement is a 'first look deal.' READ | Meghan Markle's As Ever brand marks her 44th birthday with stunning new portrait In Hollywood parlance, this means Netflix has the right to say yes or no to a project before Harry and Meghan's media company, Archewell Productions, can shop it around other studios. Typically, first-look deals are less lucrative than exclusive deals, though they also provide producers with more flexibility. 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the 'As ever' brand,' said Meghan, referring to her recently re-branded line of lifestyle products, including rose wine and apricot spreads. Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, described Harry and Meghan as 'influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere,' in the statement. Harry and Meghan wed in a fairytale ceremony in 2018, before splitting from the British royal family and moving to California two years later. Cut off from the royal purse, the pair signed their first Netflix deal in 2020 for a reported $100 million. That figure was never confirmed, and no financial terms have been revealed for the extension. The New York Times reported Monday that the new deal is worth less for Harry and Meghan than the previous agreement, citing a person familiar with the terms. Harry & Meghan, a six-episode tell-all about their relationship and exit from the House of Windsor, drew 23 million views in its first four days - a record for a Netflix documentary. Despite withering reviews from critics, With Love, Meghan had over five million views in the first half of 2025, making it Netflix's most-watched cooking show. The upcoming holiday special will feature Meghan hosting 'friends and family' as they 'deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs,' the statement promised. Later this year, Netflix will release a short documentary from Archewell Productions about a small orphanage in Uganda. The couple are also producing a 'romance feature adaptation' of Carley Fortune's novel Meet Me At The Lake, though no Netflix release has been confirmed.
