We were not able to find (at least at present) a series heading towards Latin American regions (Brazil, Argentina, etc.) or Asian regions such as India or Japan, but naturally, this could evolve as the license comes up for renewal in each respective region.
The series is not currently scheduled to arrive on Netflix in the United States. There, the streaming rights are held by Hulu, which has owned the show for a significant period of time, which is odd, since you would assume the series’ natural home would be on HBO Max. In the long term, whenever the license comes up and depending on whether the Warner Bros. deal goes through, it could be moved further to Netflix. A strange turn of events, considering that we published nearly a decade ago that we were unlikely to see the show on Netflix.
