Netflix has bought the rights to Roald Dahl's classic children's books from the author's family.
The deal means the streaming giant will own creations like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG.
Netflix will control what happens to them in publishing as well as TV and film - and receive the royalties.
It will also create numerous spin-off games, stage shows and other live experiences. Neither side would reveal how much the deal is worth.
The takeover means The Roald Dahl Story Company - which is run by Dahl's grandson Luke Kelly and was previously owned by the family and other employees - will now become a division of Netflix.
It earned £26m revenue from the author's work in 2019, according to its latest accounts.
In a joint statement, Mr Kelly and Netflix boss Ted Sarandos said they were "joining forces to bring some of the world's most loved stories to current and future fans in creative new ways".
Steve Stricker has urged the United States fans to not "cross the line" and be "respectful to both teams" in this week's Ryder Cup match against Europe.
Rory McIlroy had to ask for an abusive fan to be removed from Hazeltine during the last Ryder Cup in the US in 2016.
"It's going to be rowdy. It's going to be loud and pro-USA, obviously so we're looking forward to that. We need that backing," said US captain Stricker.
"Hazeltine crossed the line at times, which we don't want to see."
The incident involving McIlroy, who was playing with Thomas Pieters in a fourballs match, happened on the eighth hole and the Northern Irishman said he pointed out "one particular guy who said a few derogatory things" and "took it a bit too far".

Actor Robert Fyfe, best known for playing Howard in sitcom Last of the Summer Wine for 25 years, has died at the age of 90.
Fyfe joined the long-running BBC show in 1985 and remained until its final episode in 2010.
Howard Sibshaw was Pearl's hen-pecked husband who was always trying to hide his passionate affair with Marina.
Fyfe's manager Maxine Hoffman said the Scottish actor was "the most delightful client anyone could wish for".
He was "a truly talented and versatile actor and much loved by everyone he worked with", she added.
Fyfe appeared in the first episode of Dr Finlay's Casebook in 1962 and was also seen in Coronation Street, Z Cars, Angels, The Onedin Line, Survivors, The Gentle Touch and Monarch of the Glen.
His film credits included The 51st State, Cloud Atlas and Babel.
His wife Diana died a few weeks before him, leaving sons Timothy, Nicholas and Dominic.
Juliette Kaplan, who played Pearl, and Jean Fergusson, who played Marina, both died in 2019.
The Premier League could have a seven-week mid-season break in 2022-23 to accommodate the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
At a meeting on Wednesday, it was proposed the next campaign would stop after the weekend of November 12 before fixtures resumed again on 26 December.
The season is also set to begin a week earlier than normal on 6 August and finish a week later on 28 May.
That would therefore push both the Champions League and FA Cup finals into June.
The clubs were shown an outline calendar at a shareholders' meeting.
Arsenal beat League One AFC Wimbledon to reach the fourth round of the Carabao Cup and make it three wins in a row in all competitions.
Alexandre Lacazette was making his first start since April and scored a penalty after Nesta Guinness-Walker fouled Gabriel Martinelli.
Emile Smith Rowe converted from Lacazette's pass and Eddie Nketiah's lovely flicked backheel from Cedric Soares' cross sealed the win.
Arsenal host Leeds in round four.

That's where the paint job comes in. The rover beings as a shiny aluminum that is then painted white to reflect sunlight and help the rover from overheating. Unlike the paint we put on cars, this paint is far more durable. It's made to endure the extreme temperatures of Mars, which can range from 70 degrees Fahrenheit, 20 degrees Celsius, near the equator, to minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit, minus 73 degrees Celsius. In fact, you can still see sections of white paint on NASA's Curiosity rover, which has been on Mars since 2012.
