Netflix signs up Dreamworks for multiple new original TV series, promises over 300 hours of programming

In Netflix's largest deal yet, it's announced that Dreamworks will be making "over 300 hours of new programming" based on both existing and incoming movies and franchises. The first series will air next year, and will include a spin-off series for Dreamworks' incoming Turbo movie. Following the movie studio's purchase of Classic Media earlier this year, Netflix has also promised new content from a stable of characters that includes Where's Waldo, Caspar and Fat Albert, although it hasn't specified any new series for these just yet. Netflix will be showing several Dreamworks' animation features in the coming years as part of the deal, with The Croods, Turbo and Mr. Peadbody and Sherman all signed-up to appear on the streaming service in the future.
