The 40-Year-Old Virgin director has some concerns about streaming services licensing old TV series to each other.
When asked about old shows becoming super popular on streaming services like Netflix, Apatow shared his real concerns.
“I’m of two minds.
We don’t need to spend $200 million on a new show.
We can just bring back Barnaby Jones.'
They’re going to do it, then you’ll get fewer new shows.”
Meanwhile, Netflix hasn’t licensed out any of its in-house productions to other streaming companies at this time.

In 2019, the streaming company shelled out $500 million for rights to the comedy series.
