Deadline is reporting that Netflix made Kew an offer.

The streaming service wanted to keep hold of the license agreements that were already in place.

However, instead of the majority of the money going to a financial administrator, Netflix wanted the funds to go directly to the show's producers.

Kew rejected the offer and now Netflix have removed all Kew Media Distribution titles from their platform, including Line Of Duty!
