Content commitments
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $16.5 million of content obligations comprised of $5.0 million included in content liabilities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets, and $11.5 million of obligations that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as they did not yet meet the asset recognition criteria for content assets. Content obligations of $9.8 million are expected to be paid through December 31, 2022, and $6.7 million

Content obligations include amounts related to licensed, commissioned and internally produced streaming content. An obligation for the production of content includes
non-cancelable
commitments under creative talent and employment agreements. An obligation for the licensed and commissioned content is incurred at the time the Company enters into an agreement to obtain future titles. Once a title becomes available, a content liability is generally recorded. Certain agreements include the obligation to license rights for unknown future titles, the ultimate quantity and/or fees for which are not yet determinable as of the reporting date.

million
