In two weeks and two days, a new six-episode mini-series called “The Playlist” will be released on Netflix, which tells the story of the world’s largest audio content streaming service – Spotify.
The series has been in production for at least three years: the company announced the project in December 2019, just before the corona epidemic made shooting series and movies almost impossible. Because of this, apparently, the production was delayed and only now it is about to arrive on the world’s largest video streaming service on Thursday in two weeks, October 13, according to the official trailer that was released yesterday (Tuesday).
According to the video, each episode will tell the story of Spotify from a different angle, with apparently one being the angle of the CEO, Daniel Ek, played by Edwin Andre (“Vikings”), the second is that of a Swedish singer whose idea is to upload her music to a streaming service who pays her for every playback, and a third is related to the negotiations between Spotify and the major music companies, who feared that legal music on the Internet would destroy the industry.
The series mostly speaks Swedish, except for the parts of the negotiations between the company and the American music giants, and according to the trailer it seems to portray Spotify as an original idea – although in the real world the service was launched in 2006, half a decade after the launch of a similar service under the name Rhapsody, which was based on the application The pirate-former Napster and was acquired two years after the launch by RealNetworks, the company that developed the world’s first streaming player (Real Player).
