Netflix's Ted Sarandos Reveals His 'Phase 2' for Hollywood

By Lacey Rose
hollywoodreporter.com — This story first appeared in the May 31 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Ted Sarandos doesn't need to be liked by Hollywood. Netflix's chief content officer is aware that his disinterest in playing by the industry's rules - instead throwing his shows online all at once, bypassing the traditional development process and refusing to release ratings information - has irked some, but he has no plans to apologize, much less curb his agenda.
