Narcos producer José Padilha has filed a lawsuit against former producing partner Eric Newman seeking over $1 million in alleged unpaid profits from the Netflix series.
Per the complaint filed in California, the two entered an agreement to “share equally 50%/50% in all revenue, income, and proceeds of any nature (with certain carved-out exceptions) that either might receive based on or connected with the Series.” Now, Padilha claims Newman has been bringing in “several millions of dollars in revenues” from Narcos without reporting them to Padilha, cutting him out of his fifty percent share.
