Netflix Sued Over ‘Outer Banks’ Show, Novelist Claims Series Ripped Off Book

Netflix straight up jacked the characters and plot for its hit present “Outer Banks” from an already printed e book … a minimum of in keeping with the creator of a novel, who’s now out for some authorized revenge.

The streaming large is being sued by Jeff Wilson, who claims there are manner too many similarities between a e book he wrote, “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” and ‘OB’ for it to be pure coincidence.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Wilson says in 2013 he printed his novel, which follows 4 pals on a treasure hunt from a well-known shipwreck close to the outer banks of North Carolina.

Wilson says his e book was even promoted by Discovery and History Channel, and he claims the ‘OB’ creators have even confessed … they relied on different books and authors for inspiration to write down the scripted sequence.

The creator claims his e book was drawn from closely … he says the principle solid and their character arcs are virtually equivalent to his novel … and he says the plot factors and settings are eerily comparable, too.

Wilson is suing Netflix for copyright infringement … and he needs the streaming large to fork over any earnings they’ve created from infringing on his novel and an injunction stopping Netflix from distributing or promoting “Outer Banks.”

It’s price noting … one other novelist, Kevin Wooten, beforehand sued Netflix and the ‘OB’ creators, claiming they ripped off his 2016 e book … however the swimsuit was dismissed after a choose did not discover adequate similarities between the 2.
