Maybe he is referring to shows being moved from network tv into streaming? Although thats is the opposite of a show killer, more like a hail mary. I don't know of any case of the opposite (streaming --> network tv), so I don't think it's that either.

Offhand:

One Day at a Time and Tuca & Bertie were each (separately) picked up by cable networks for a new season or seasons after Netflix cancelled them.

BoJack Horseman's syndication rights were picked up by Comedy Central.

Universal Kids has aired several of the animated DreamWorks shows that were initially made for Netflix.

The Mysterious Benedict Society show was initially only a Disney+ Original, but will now be airing on Disney Channel the day before new episodes are added to Disney+.

A few cases of Disney+ or Hulu originals airing an episode or a season on TV as a promotional thing (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Solar Opposites, etc.).

But yeah, I don't think any of those situations would be what the OP would be talking about.
