You will be aware that Netflix in the US has a bigger library than we have access to in the UK simply because a proportion of that content is not for showing in the UK. Given that carriage deals typically last 4 or 5 years and that Discovery would have been planning this for a while, I would be surprised if such rights were much of an issue by 2021.
So Netflix has a huge library of content, the kind people might wait 30 or 60 seconds to watch? Your statements are inherently contradictory.
