Ghost Rider has made a big comeback thanks to Agents of SHIELD season 4, with actor Gabriel Luna making the new Robbie Reyes version of The Rider a household name. Marvel fans have been so pleased with the reboot that there have been continuous calls to see the new Ghost Rider branch out wider into the Marvel Cinematic Universe - with the most common suggestion being that the character should headline his own Netflix series.

We here at Comicbook.com had the opportunity to speak with Gabriel Luna (see the video above), and ask about whether a Ghost Rider getting his own Netflix series was even a possibility. According to Luna, it's more than a possibility: there's already structure in place to make it happen.

Regarding how Ghost Rider transitions from Agents of SHIELD to his own solo venture, Luna told us, "I don't have a preference. People talk about 'Ah man he'd be great as a feature,' which is [an] idea too... It could be in the cinema, it could live on Netflix, whatever it is."

Getting a little bit more concrete, Luna revealed to us that Marvel Studios has (of course) plotted out the potential for a new Ghost Rider franchise, and has those pathways already structured:

"It's been talked about, there's definitely deals in place for that potential. But I just take it one day at a time. I have so much fun now I just want to make sure I get these episodes right. If they throw more episodes on my plate, I will do my best to do well with those stories as well."

Scripps Network Interactive, the company behind popular channels such as HGTV and Food Network, has chosen not to renew their partnership with Netflix.

This means that shows like Fixer Upper, Chopped, House Hunters, Food Network Star, Worst Cooks in America, Flip or Flop, and Property Brothers will no longer be available on the streaming service.

Scripps is one of the largest producers and distributors of lifestyle programming. In addition to HGTV and the Food Network, shows from the Travel Channel, the DIY channel, and the Cooking Channel will be removed from Netflix at the end of 2016.

All these programs have been available on Netflix since October of 2014, however, there will be no new episodes added to the streaming service and all the previous ones will be removed.

On Monday, Chief Operating Officer Buton Jablin explained during an earnings conference call that the company would be parting ways with Netflix at the end of this year, according to Fox News.

"We assessed and analyzed the S-VOD [streaming video-on-demand] universe and have made the strategic decision not to extend our S-VOD agreement with Netflix past the end of this year," Jablin said. "In the end, it is really not the kind of dual revenue model that best monetizes our content over the long-term."

Ken Lowe, the Chief Operating Officer believes that Scripps Network Interactive is "big enough," and does not want to shackle itself with the obligation of a streaming partnership with Netflix.

"If you look at where the industry is going… we just see a lot of opportunities," Lowe said. "We have such compelling content for advertisers we don't want to cut ourselves off," Lowe said.
