- Jinny Howe, Netflix Head of US and Canada Scripted Series, welcomed the collaboration, stating Proximity Media has established itself as a company championing visionary creators and producing stories that resonate globally.
- Coogler remains in business with Disney despite the Netflix deal, overseeing existing projects including a pilot for The X-Files reboot and a live-action adaptation of Southern Bastards, both in active development.
