A-list movie stars flocking to TV limited series and movies: Streep, DeNiro, Clooney, Pitt, Kidman, Witherspoon etc.
Why?
- big paydays plus “backend” bucks financed by Apple, Facebook, Netflix etc.
- TV is a “writers medium” that offers high-quality roles, movies are action and special-effects-oriented catering to teenagers/foreign audiences
- TV audiences often dwarf movie audiences, and stars want to be seen, not just getting awards for unseen movies
