Aussie claims Netflix stole his idea and released near-identical documentary with Zac Efron
An Aussie filmmaker has launched legal action against Netflix, claiming the streaming giant stole his concept and used it to make a series with Zac Efron. Filmmaker Ben Waddell said he was shocked during 2020 to see Netflix release Down To Earth With Zac Efron, a documentary travel series with an almost identical name as his own release.
Waddell said he pitched Down To Earth With Ben Waddell to the streaming giant in 2017, but despite some interest the series was not picked up.
