Netflix Sues Unofficial Bridgerton Musical Creators for Infringement

Published

on

In their complaint, Netflix claimed that they repeatedly told the pair that “such works were not authorized,” adding, “At each step of the way, Barlow & Bear’s representatives repeatedly assured Netflix that they understood Netflix’s position and led Netflix to believe that Netflix would be consulted before Barlow & Bear took steps beyond streaming their album online in audio-only format.”  

The streaming service claimed that they first learned about Barlow and Bear’s NYC performance from their representatives this past June, per court documents. The pair are also scheduled to perform the show at the Royal Albert Hall in London on September 20.   

“Barlow & Bear’s ‘The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical‘ is not authorized by Netflix, Shondaland, or Julia Quinn,” the lawsuit read. “And Netflix has never given Barlow & Bear permission to create or perform ‘The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical‘ live, let alone at the Kennedy Center or Royal Albert Hall, or to create new derivative works based on the Bridgerton intellectual property.”  

Netflix also allegedly told the pair’s representative that they did not want Barlow and Bear to engage in “any live performances” or “other derivative works that might compete with Netflix’s own planned events” including its global theatrical event The Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience.

Pete Wentz Reflects on Struggle With Fame After Ashlee Simpson Divorce

During that hiatus, Pete was able to focus solely on raising his and Ashlee’s son Bronx, now 14.

“Here’s what it really was: At 31, we’d had all these great years as a band, and then we took time off, and I basically became Mr. Mom,” he said on The Howard Stern Show in 2015. “I had the beard, the flannel shirt. I didn’t know what my identity was. That factored in. When your identity is what you do, it’s hard when you stop doing it.”

But amid his divorce from the “Pieces of Me” singer and the band’s hiatus, Pete confessed he fell into a cycle of depression.

“I think it was a combination of all these factors at once, including being too young,” he told host Howard Stern. “And we were doing this all in the public eye, which as you know, it doesn’t help, because you have people scrutinizing everything you do.”

How Dakota Johnson Influenced Chris Martin’s Coldplay Concerts

Published

The “Yellow” singer went on to confess that although the packs are expensive “they are amazing and the things that people do to consider other people are just wonderful.”

And along with her heartwarming contribution to Coldplay concerts, it’s safe to say Dakota, 33, is Chris’ no. 1 fan. Back in November, the Madame Web actress was seen dancing at his show in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she’s previously revealed that she tours with the band when she’s not working.

And her frequent attendance at his shows is not lost on Chris, who paid tribute to the Persuasion star during a 2021 Coldplay show in London. While introducing the song “My Universe,” Chris told the crowd, “this is about my universe, and she’s here,” as he pointed to Dakota in the stands before serenading her with the song.
