Leonardo DiCaprio and Netflix are teaming up on a slate of documentaries and docu-series that will premier exclusively on the streaming service. DiCaprio’s Appian Way has signed a multi-year first-look deal for non-fiction projects that will have environmental and conservation themes. The deal covers both original documentaries and docu-series as well as acquisitions. That means Appian Way will likely become active on the festival acquisitions front, where the supply of eco-minded documentaries has increased in recent years.
It also offers an opportunity for DiCaprio to combine his producing skills with his longtime role as an environmental philanthropist and activist. He will serve as producer or executive producer for all projects launched through the partnership.
