In an unlikely license to Netflix, Showtime’s mini-series The Comey Rule is coming to Netflix within the us (other regions to be confirmed) on September 28th, 2021 Rewinding the clock back to 2016, The Comey Rule may be a 2 episode limited series release on Showtime in 2020. It documents the chaotic 2016 Presidential Election and therefore the years then November election. Specifically, it documents the clashing of personalities between FBI director James Comey and Donald Trump.
Showtime assembled an enormous cast for the limited series including Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom) playing James Comey and Brendan Gleeson playing the role of Donald Trump Among the supporting cast included Holly Hunter (Succession), Michael Kelly (House of Cards), Jennifer Ehle (Fifty reminder Grey), Scoot McNairy (Gone Girl) and more.
Billy Ray is behind the series who is notably known for writing the 2012 blockbuster The Hunger Games also as Captain Phillips. On the TV side, Billy Ray is behind Prime Video’s The Last Tycoon The mini-series is well-received by both critics and reviews on IMDb. It holds a 7.4/10 on IMDb but given the topic matter, is not any doubt considered controversial in some circles.
Although there’s only 2 episodes within the limited series, the entire length of the 2 will set you back 210 mintues As we stated above, we don’t know exactly what percentage countries of Netflix are expected to urge The Comey Rule except for now, we only know the US is currently scheduled to receive it. It notably wasn’t included in Netflix’s PR list for September 2021 but we’ve included it on our September 2021 preview.
In general, Showtime not licenses content to Netflix instead in recent years opting to place the content exclusively on Paramount+. Up until the Netflix release, you’ll only find the two-episode miniseries available on Showtime. With all that said, however, ViacomCBS still does regularly license to Netflix strategically and this might be why we’re seeing The Comey Rule added Will you be finding out The Comey Rule on Netflix when it drops in late September 2021? allow us to know within the comments down below.
