Jamie Oliver is reportedly developing new shows with Netflix in mind after his exclusivity deal with Channel 4 came to an end.

Jamie Oliver is reportedly developing new shows specifically aimed at Netflix.

The 47-year-old had been on an exclusive deal with Channel 4 until earlier this year, but now that it has expired he is free to work with other broadcasters.

The chef recently agreed to make two new Channel 4 shows, Jamie's One-Pan Wonders and Jamie's Seasons, to air over the next year, as well as a third series of Jamie's Mediterranean Adventures.

According to The Mirror, Oliver is also working on a show with Netflix in mind about his charity BiteBack 2030, which aims to halve childhood obesity by the end of the decade.

"Jamie has ended his exclusive contract with Channel 4 and is looking to work elsewhere. A team from BiteBack is developing ideas aimed at Netflix," a source told the newspaper.

"Channel 4 aren't thrilled about sharing Jamie but have made sure they won't lose him altogether."

A Netflix spokesperson confirmed that the streamer has not yet commissioned any shows from Oliver.
