Netflix Orders Baseball Doc on the Montreal Expos’ Controversial 2004 Exit From Canada (EXCLUSIVE)
Netflix has picked up an untitled documentary about the Montreal Expos and the events surrounding the Major League Baseball team's departure in 2004.
Some of those setbacks included fee disputes between the city and Expos owner Jeffrey Loria over a new stadium, the firing of beloved, long-time manager Felipe Alou, and a historic switcheroo in which Loria bought the Miami Marlins, Marlins owner John Henry bought the Boston Red Sox, and the MLB purchased the Expos. Last spring, Netflix Canada officially opened its Toronto headquarters with a star-studded party with CEO Ted Sarandos and key figures like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in attendance. Since setting up official shop in Canada, the streamer has announced “Tall Pines,” a limited series from Mae Martin with Objective Fiction and Sphere Media, and an untitled Inuit comedy in partnership with CBC and APTN.
