Original review summary

Factcrescendo Sri Lanka found no evidence that Colbert had signed the deal, noting that neither Netflix nor Colbert’s representatives confirmed an agreement. It says the rumor may have grown from Colbert’s August 2025 joke, “Netflix, call me. I’m available in June,” rather than a business announcement.[S1]
