Netflix It was clear from the first moment that he wanted to revolutionize the world of television series, both with his commitment to launching complete seasons with a hit and with the fact of ordering them without going through the pilot box. That’s how it had been until now, but the platform has betrayed that model in the case of the series ‘Little Sky’.
‘Little Sky’ is a comedy about Penelope, a woman determined to do whatever it takes to fulfill her dream of becoming a live reporter for a respected newscast. Her big break comes when she receives a tip revealing that the mayor of Little Sky has disappeared, so she travels to that remote town with no idea that she is going to find something much darker and more complicated than it seemed at first glance. view. Samara Weaving (‘Wedding Night’) is the actress chosen to give life to the protagonist of this series created by Rightor Doyle (‘Bonding’).
Without precedents
What makes ‘Little Sky’ an exceptional case for Netflix is that it is the first time that the platform has commissioned a pilot episode in order to better assess whether they are willing to commit to making the series.

This move can help prevent early “deaths” of his series, but it remains to be seen whether he will use it regularly. For now, the case of ‘Little Sky’ is unique and unprecedented. Of course, as long as they are satisfied with the experience, there are no surprises if they use it again in other specific cases.
