They would pay the "royalties". It's actually residuals, and it's usually paid to the actors and senior crew (director, producers, etc), from what i understand.
Royalties are paid to, potentially, a lot of people. Most a-list actors will get royalties with every dvd sold (and increasingly views on streaming services,) and such like.

I’m missing something here, if they produce it and stream it, who would pay those royalties?
