Netflix director lost millions gambling show's budget on stocks instead of making a new series
FILM & TV
Director Carl Rinsch hit the big time when he signed a deal with Netflix.
Back in 2018, when streamers like Netflix and Amazon Prime were scrambling to find content to keep up with the demand from customers, Rinsch pitched the rights to a sci-fi series that he'd started a script for.
Initially Amazon bagged an informal deal with the hardly-known director for an eight-figure sum but, before any papers could be signed, Netflix swooped in and ended up agreeing a huge $61.2 million deal with Rinsch for the series it later named Conquest.
