AceShowbiz - The comedies Happy's Place and St. Denis Medical have joined Netflix’s U.S. lineup as part of NBCUniversal Television’s ongoing strategy to license broadcast shows to the streaming giant. This follows the earlier February 2024 debut of The Hunting Party on Netflix, with both new series premiering their first seasons on April 1, 2024, expanding the studio’s presence on the platform.

Among the two new arrivals, the multi-camera sitcom Happy's Place, which stars Reba McEntire, quickly gained traction by entering Netflix’s Daily Top 10 charts. In contrast, the single-camera workplace comedy St. Denis Medical has maintained a steady, though less prominent, spot on Peacock’s Daily Top 10. This makes sense given St. Denis Medical fits well alongside Peacock’s popular library titles such as The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and 30 Rock.

Despite their availability on Netflix, all three series – The Hunting Party, Happy's Place, and St. Denis Medical – remain fully accessible on NBCUniversal’s own streaming service, Peacock, with every episode released so far still available to viewers there. The release strategy illustrates NBCUniversal’s approach to maximizing audience reach across multiple platforms while keeping their content accessible to diverse viewers. This dual-window strategy allows the studio to generate additional licensing revenue from Netflix while continuing to serve its core subscriber base on Peacock.
