Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Current Programming and Other Inventory

The following table presents our programming and other inventory at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, grouped by type and predominant monetization strategy. During the first quarter of 2022, in connection with our increased strategic focus on our direct-to-consumer businesses, we reassessed our predominant monetization strategy for certain of our internally-produced content, and determined that it had shifted from individual to film group as a result of expected increased monetization of the content on our DTC services.
