As a result, Netflix (NFLX) stock experienced a significant intraday increase, trading at $85.10, up approximately 3%, reflecting positive market sentiment toward IP resource integration.

Shared Streaming Content and Maximizing IP Value

Netflix’s racing documentary series “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” Season 8 will be simultaneously available on Apple TV. This marks the first cross-platform release of this popular original content and symbolizes a shift in the streaming industry toward resource-sharing collaborations to enhance the commercial value of intellectual property amid rising user acquisition costs.

Season 8 of “Drive to Survive” focuses on the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship, which coincides with the 75th anniversary of this premier event. The season highlights the performances of six new drivers and how teams maintain stability amid fierce competition. As professionalism increases, teams’ tolerance for mistakes decreases, intensifying the battle among 10 teams and 20 drivers for points and the season championship. The series offers behind-the-scenes footage and unreleased clips, providing viewers with professional insights into drivers’ decision-making under pressure, earning high ratings and acclaim.

Netflix Secures Apple TV Live Broadcast Rights for FI Racing

This year, Apple TV became the exclusive broadcaster of Formula 1 races in the U.S. As part of the partnership, Netflix will broadcast the 2026 Canadian GP from May 22 to 24, giving “Drive to Survive” fans the chance to watch live racing.

New Trends in Streaming Industry Alliances

The IP exchange and mutual cooperation strategy between Netflix and Apple reveal a shift in the entertainment streaming industry from “closed ecosystems” to “bilateral IP collaborations.” Previously, platforms relied on exclusive content to build barriers, but rising production costs have made resource sharing more effective for cost distribution. Apple TV’s strong hardware market share complements Netflix’s extensive content library and viewing data. Their alliance will prompt competitors like Disney+ and Max to reconsider their distribution strategies. Future subscription packages and cross-platform content sharing will foster win-win collaborations, maintaining user engagement and driving growth through bilateral IP licensing.
