History

Historical Context

In February 2013 Netflix released House of Cards, the first major series produced solely for streaming, earning nine Primetime Emmy nominations that July and three wins in September. Its success proved exclusive online content could attract millions and pressure traditional distributors. Following that model, Disney+ and Hulu plan to launch Sam Raimi’s Send Help in 2026, using star power to draw subscribers.
