There are reports Netflix is in talks with the BBC to air the new-look Top Gear. The talks are understood to be in early stages.
If a deal was done it would likely be compared to Amazon Prime’s deal with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, sans the steep price tag.
But it wouldn’t necessarily mean Netflix would land first run rights in Australia.
While Netflix secured Danger Mouse for North and Latin America, Nordic territories, Benelux and Japan, it has aired on ABC in Australia.
According to The Guardian a number of international broadcasters are keen to buy the show having seen a showcase in Liverpool last month, including Australia and Germany.
The BBC and Netflix declined to comment.

I suspect this Top Gear will be unrecognisable from the original with Clarkson etc. Cars do not always maketh the show but the BBC will want to keep one of it’s cash cows going.
With the producer, Amazon Prime, talking about setting up a SVOD service here, Neflix would be lower down the food chain.
Amazon isnt the Producer of Top Gear. They produce rhe unnamed show by Clarkson, Hammond and May
