“This new avenue for our films, alongside the stories we continue to tell with our longtime family at Universal and our other partners, will be incredibly satisfying for me personally since we get to set out on it with Ted, and I can not wait to begin with him, Scott, and the entire Netflix staff,” Spielberg said in a statement.
Sarandos, who called Spielberg”a creative visionary and pioneer,” stated his”growing up was shaped by his own memorable stories and characters that have been enduring, inspiring and awakening.”
