Will BBC’s ‘Fleabag’ be on Netflix?

Fleabag was undoubtedly one of the most popular British TV shows of recent years. This comedy series starring Phoebe Waller Bridge has received rave reviews. It is now highly sought-after in this age of streaming. Will it appear on Netflix? Let’s take a look.

In recent years, the BBC has been less well-known for British comedy. Most hits seem to have come from Channel 4, which Netflix managed to acquire a few. “It’s The End of the F***ing World” comes immediately to mind.

He revealed that Fleabag was going to Netflix in a recent interview. The title was the subject of a fierce bidding battle, but Netflix ultimately lost to Amazon because they were more interested than Netflix.

Fleabag will be available on Netflix outside of the United States.

Amazon is likely to expand their existing offering in other areas.
