History

Historical Context

In February 2013 Netflix launched House of Cards, the first major streaming drama, earning nine Emmy nominations and proving that original web series could win major awards. That breakthrough prompted rivals such as Paramount+ to adopt the same premium-only release model, reserving Yellowjackets Season 4 for its paid tier to lock in subscribers and shape future content pipelines.
