Netflix is an American subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service. The service primarily distributes original and acquired films and television shows from various genres, and it is available internationally in multiple languages.[6]

Launched in 2007, nearly a decade after Netflix, Inc. began its pioneering DVD-by-mail movie rental service, Netflix is the most-subscribed video on demand streaming media service, with 301.6 million paid memberships in more than 190 countries as of 2025.[5][7] By 2022, "Netflix Original" productions accounted for half of its library in the United States and the namesake company had ventured into other categories, such as video game publishing of mobile games through its flagship service. As of 2025, Netflix is the 18th most-visited website in the world, with 21.18% of its traffic coming from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 6.01%, Canada at 4.94%, and Brazil at 4.24%.[8][9]

### Launch as a mail-based rental business (1997–2006)

[edit]

Marc Randolph, co-founder of Netflix and the first CEO of the company Reed Hastings, co-founder and executive chairman

Netflix was founded by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings on August 29, 1997, in Scotts Valley, California. Hastings, a computer scientist and mathematician, was a co-founder of Pure Software, which was acquired by Rational Software that year for $750 million, the then-biggest acquisition in Silicon Valley history.[10] Randolph had worked as a marketing director for Pure Software after Pure Atria acquired a company where Randolph worked. He was previously a co-founder of MicroWarehouse, a computer mail-order company, as well as vice president of marketing for Borland.[11][12]

Hastings and Randolph came up with the idea for Netflix while carpooling between their homes in Santa Cruz, California, and Pure Atria's headquarters in Sunnyvale.[13] Patty McCord, later head of human resources at Netflix, was also in the carpool group.[14] Randolph admired Amazon and wanted to find a large category of portable items to sell over the Internet using a similar model. Hastings and Randolph considered and rejected selling and renting VHS as too expensive to stock and too delicate to ship.[11] When they heard about DVDs, first introduced in the United States in early 1997, they tested the concept of online DVD rental or sales by mail, by mailing a compact disc to Hastings's house in Santa Cruz.[11] When the CD arrived intact, they decided to enter the $16 billion Home-video sales and rental industry.[11][13] (Hastings is often quoted saying that he decided to start Netflix after being fined $40 at a Blockbuster store for returning late a copy of Apollo 13, but Randolph later said that Hastings invented the anecdote. Blockbuster reportedly ordered Hastings in the mid-2000s to stop telling the story, after it could not find such a transaction in its records.[13][15]) Hastings invested $2.5 million into Netflix from the sale of Pure Atria.[16][13] Netflix launched as the first DVD rental and sales website with 30 employees and 925 titles available—nearly all DVDs published.[13][17][18] Randolph and Hastings met with Jeff Bezos, whose Amazon offered to acquire Netflix for between $14 and $16 million. Fearing competition from Amazon, Randolph thought the offer was fair, but Hastings, who owned 70% of the company, turned it down on the plane ride home.[19][20]

Not restricted to the size of a retail store, Netflix could offer hundreds of thousands of DVDs to customers in a long tail business model. Early employee Cindy Holland compared the company acquiring DVDs to "shoveling coal in the side door of the house".[15] Initially, Netflix offered a per-rental model for each DVD but introduced a monthly subscription concept in September 1999.[21] The per-rental model was dropped by early 2000, allowing the company to focus on the business model of flat-fee unlimited rentals without due dates, late fees, shipping and handling fees, or per-title rental fees.[22] While customers enjoyed the convenience, more important to Netflix was that it did not have to store or ship those DVDs; subscribers' homes acted as warehouses. The company secretly slowed deliveries to heavy users ("pigs"), to discourage them from quickly returning DVDs.[15]

In September 2000, during the dot-com bubble, while Netflix was suffering losses, Hastings and Randolph offered to sell the company to Blockbuster for $50 million. John Antioco, CEO of Blockbuster, thought the offer was a joke and declined, saying, "The dot-com hysteria is completely overblown."[23][24] While Netflix experienced fast growth in early 2001, the continued effects of the dot-com bubble collapse and the September 11 attacks caused the company to hold off plans for its initial public offering (IPO) and to lay off one-third of its 120 employees.[25]

DVD players were a popular gift for holiday sales in late 2001, and demand for DVD subscription services were "growing like crazy", according to chief talent officer McCord.[26] The company went public on May 23, 2002, opening on NASDAQ at US$15.00 per share with a sale of 5.5 million shares of common stock.[27] In 2003, Netflix was issued a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to cover its subscription rental service and several extensions.[28] The company posted its first profit in 2003, earning $6.5 million on revenues of $272 million; by 2004, profit had increased to $49 million on over $500 million in revenues.[29] In 2005, 35,000 different films were available, and Netflix shipped 1 million DVDs out every day.[30]

In 2004, Blockbuster introduced a DVD rental service, which not only allowed users to check out titles through online sites but allowed for them to return them at brick and-mortar stores.[31] By 2006, Blockbuster's service reached two million users, and while trailing Netflix's subscriber count, was drawing business away from Netflix. Netflix lowered fees in 2007.[29] While it was an urban legend that Netflix ultimately "killed" Blockbuster in the DVD rental market, Blockbuster's debt load and internal disagreements hurt the company.[31]

On April 4, 2006, Netflix filed a patent infringement lawsuit in which it demanded a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that Blockbuster's online DVD rental subscription program violated two patents held by Netflix. The first cause of action alleged Blockbuster's infringement of copying the "dynamic queue" of DVDs available for each customer, Netflix's method of using the ranked preferences in the queue to send DVDs to subscribers, and Netflix's method permitting the queue to be updated and reordered.[32] The second cause of action alleged infringement of the subscription rental service as well as Netflix's methods of communication and delivery.[33] The companies settled their dispute on June 25, 2007; terms were not disclosed.[34][35][36][37]

On October 1, 2006, Netflix announced the Netflix Prize, $1,000,000 to the first developer of a video-recommendation algorithm that could beat its existing algorithm Cinematch, at predicting customer ratings by more than 10%. On September 21, 2009, it awarded the $1,000,000 prize to team "BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos".[38] Cinematch, launched in 2000, was a system that recommended movies to its users, many of which might have been entirely new to the user.[39][40]

Through its division Red Envelope Entertainment, Netflix licensed and distributed independent films such as Born into Brothels and Sherrybaby. In late 2006, Red Envelope Entertainment also expanded into producing original content with filmmakers such as John Waters.[41] Netflix closed Red Envelope Entertainment in 2008.[42][43]

### Transition to streaming services (2007–2012)

[edit]

Hastings reportedly told Mynette Louie in the late 1990s that his goal was always streaming media, and that Netflix rented DVDs only to grow its customer base for streaming.[15] By the mid-2000s data speeds and bandwidth costs improved sufficiently to allow customers to download movies from the internet. The original idea was a "Netflix box" that could download movies overnight, and be ready to watch the next day. By 2005, Netflix had acquired movie rights and designed the box and service. But after witnessing how popular streaming services such as YouTube were despite the lack of high-definition content, the concept of using a hardware device was scrapped and replaced with a streaming concept.[44] In January 2007, the company launched a streaming media service, introducing video on demand via the Internet. However, at that time it only had 1,000 films available for streaming, compared to 70,000 available on DVD.[45] The service, then called "Watch Now", at first required Internet Explorer on a computer. Hollywood studios licensed second-run content to the service, and did not expect it to threaten their existing lucrative relationships with cable television.[15]

In February 2007, Netflix delivered its billionth DVD, a copy of Babel to a customer in Texas.[46][47] In April 2007, Netflix recruited ReplayTV founder Anthony Wood, to build a "Netflix Player" that would allow streaming content to be played directly on a television rather than a desktop or laptop.[48] Hastings eventually shut down the project to help encourage other hardware manufacturers to include built-in Netflix support, which would be spun off as the digital media player product Roku.[49][50][51]

In January 2008, all rental-disc subscribers became entitled to unlimited streaming at no additional cost. This change came in a response to the introduction of Hulu and to Apple's new video-rental services.[52][53][page needed] In August 2008, the Netflix database was corrupted and the company was not able to ship DVDs to customers for 3 days, leading the company to move all its data to the Amazon Web Services cloud.[54] In November 2008, Netflix began offering subscribers rentals on Blu-ray and discontinued its sale of used DVDs.[55] In 2009, Netflix streams overtook DVD shipments.[56]

On January 6, 2010, Netflix agreed with Warner Bros. to delay new release rentals to 28 days after the DVDs became available for sale, in an attempt to help studios sell physical copies, and similar deals involving Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox were reached on April 9.[57][58][59] In July 2010, Netflix signed a deal to stream movies of Relativity Media.[60] In August 2010, Netflix reached a five-year deal worth nearly $1 billion to stream films from Paramount, Lionsgate and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The deal increased Netflix's annual spending fees, adding roughly $200 million per year. It spent $117 million in the first six months of 2010 on streaming, up from $31 million in 2009.[61] On September 22, 2010, Netflix launched in Canada, its first international market.[62][63] In November 2010, Netflix began offering a standalone streaming service separate from DVD rentals.[64]

In 2010, Netflix acquired the rights to Breaking Bad, produced by Sony Pictures Television, after the show's third season, at a point where original broadcaster AMC had expressed the possibility of cancelling the show. Sony pushed Netflix to release Breaking Bad in time for the fourth season, which as a result, greatly expanded the show's audience on AMC due to new viewers bingeing on the Netflix past episodes, and doubling the viewership by the time of the fifth season. Breaking Bad is considered the first such show to have this "Netflix effect".[65]

In January 2011, Netflix announced agreements with several manufacturers to include branded Netflix buttons on the remote controls of devices compatible with the service, such as Blu-ray players.[66] By May 2011, Netflix had become the largest source of Internet streaming traffic in North America, accounting for 30% of traffic during peak hours.[67][68][69][70]

On July 12, 2011, Netflix announced that it would separate its existing subscription plans into two separate plans: one covering the streaming and the other DVD rental services.[71][72] The cost for streaming would be $7.99 per month, while DVD rental would start at the same price.[73] On September 11, 2011, Netflix expanded to countries in Latin America.[74][75][76] On September 18, 2011, Netflix announced its intentions to rebrand and restructure its DVD home media rental service as an independent subsidiary called Qwikster, separating DVD rental and streaming services.[77][78][79][80][81] On September 26, 2011, Netflix announced a content deal with DreamWorks Animation.[82] On October 10, 2011, Netflix announced that it would retain its DVD service under the name Netflix and that its streaming and DVD-rental plans would remain branded together, citing customer dissatisfaction with the split.[83][84]

In October 2011. Netflix and The CW signed a multi-year output deal for its television shows.[85] On January 9, 2012, Netflix started its expansion to Europe, launching in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[86] In February 2012, Netflix reached a multi-year agreement with The Weinstein Company.[87][88] In March 2012, Netflix acquired the domain name DVD.com.[89] By 2016, Netflix rebranded its DVD-by-mail service under the name DVD.com, A Netflix Company.[90][91] In April 2012, Netflix filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to form a political action committee (PAC) called FLIXPAC.[92] Netflix spokesperson Joris Evers tweeted that the intent was to "engage on issues like net neutrality, bandwidth caps, UBB and VPPA".[93][94] In June 2012, Netflix signed a deal with Open Road Films.[95][96]

On August 23, 2012, Netflix and The Weinstein Company signed a multi-year output deal for RADiUS-TWC films.[97][98] In September 2012, Epix signed a five-year streaming deal with Netflix. For the initial two years of this agreement, first-run and back-catalog content from Epix was exclusive to Netflix. Epix films came to Netflix 90 days after premiering on Epix.[99] These included films from Paramount, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Lionsgate.[100][101]

On October 18, 2012, Netflix launched in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.[102][103] On December 4, 2012, Netflix and Disney announced an exclusive multi-year agreement for first-run United States subscription television rights to Walt Disney Studios' animated and live-action films, with classics such as Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland and Pocahontas available immediately and others available on Netflix beginning in 2016.[104] Direct-to-video releases were made available in 2013.[105][106]

On January 14, 2013, Netflix signed an agreement with Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting System and Warner Bros. Television to distribute Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Animation, and Adult Swim content, as well as TNT's Dallas, beginning in March 2013. The rights to these programs were given to Netflix shortly after deals with Viacom to stream Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. Channel programs expired.[107]

For cost reasons, Netflix stated that it would limit its expansion in 2013,[108] adding only one new market—the Netherlands—in September of that year. This expanded its availability to 40 territories.[109][110]

Netflix had long closely analyzed its customers' preferences. Watch Now gave the company real-time data on their behavior, such as scenes that customers replayed or skipped, or when they stopped watching a show.[15] In 2011, Netflix began its efforts into original content development. In March, it made a straight-to-series order from MRC for the political drama House of Cards, led by Kevin Spacey, outbidding U.S. cable networks. This marked the first instance of a first-run television series being specifically commissioned by the service.[111] Netflix executives said that its customers' love of films by Spacey and show director David Fincher caused the company to acquire the show. Customers' tendency to binge watch many episodes without stopping caused it to release all 13 episodes of the show's first season at the same time.[15] In November the same year, Netflix added two more significant productions to its roster: the comedy-drama Orange Is the New Black, adapted from Piper Kerman's memoir,[112] and a new season of the previously cancelled Fox sitcom Arrested Development.[113] Netflix acquired the U.S. rights to the Norwegian drama Lilyhammer after its television premiere on Norway's NRK1 on January 25, 2012. Notably departing from the traditional broadcast television model of weekly episode premieres, Netflix chose to release the entire first season on February 8 of the same year.[114][115]

House of Cards was released by Netflix on February 1, 2013, marketed as the first "Netflix Original" production.[116] Later that month, Netflix announced an agreement with DreamWorks Animation to commission children's television series based on its properties, beginning with Turbo: F.A.S.T., a spin-off of its film Turbo.[117][118] Orange is the New Black would premiere in July 2013; Netflix stated that Orange is the New Black had been its most-watched original series so far, with all of them having "an audience comparable with successful shows on cable and broadcast TV."[119][120]

On March 13, 2013, Netflix added a Facebook sharing feature, letting United States subscribers access "Watched by your friends" and "Friends' Favorites" by agreeing.[121] This was not legal until the Video Privacy Protection Act was modified in early 2013.[122] On August 1, 2013, Netflix reintroduced the "Profiles" feature that permits accounts to accommodate up to five user profiles.[123][124][125][126]

In November 2013, Marvel Television and ABC Studios announced Netflix had ordered a slate of four television series based on the Marvel Comics characters Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Each of the four series received an initial order of 13 episodes, and Netflix also ordered a Defenders miniseries that would tie them together. Daredevil and Jessica Jones premiered in 2015.[127][128][129] The Luke Cage series premiered on September 30, 2016, followed by Iron Fist on March 17, 2017, and The Defenders on August 18, 2017.[130][131] Marvel owner Disney later entered into other content agreements with Netflix, including acquiring its animated Star Wars series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and a new sixth season.[132]

In February 2014, Netflix began to enter into agreements with U.S. internet service providers, beginning with Comcast (whose customers had repeatedly complained of frequent buffering when streaming Netflix), in order to provide the service a direct connection to their networks.[133][134][135] In April 2014, Netflix signed Arrested Development creator Mitchell Hurwitz and his production firm The Hurwitz Company to a multi-year deal to create original projects for the service.[136] In May 2014, Netflix & Sony Pictures Animation had a major multi-deal to acquire streaming rights to produce films.[137] It also began to introduce an updated logo, with a flatter appearance and updated typography.[138]

In September 2014, Netflix expanded into six new European markets, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland.[139] On September 10, 2014, Netflix participated in Internet Slowdown Day by deliberately slowing down its speed in support of net neutrality regulations in the United States.[140] In October 2014, Netflix announced a four-film deal with Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison Productions.[141]

In April 2015, following the launch of Daredevil, Netflix director of content operations Tracy Wright announced that Netflix had added support for audio description, and had begun to work with its partners to add descriptions to its other original series over time.[142][143] The following year, as part of a settlement with the American Council of the Blind, Netflix agreed to provide descriptions for its original series within 30 days of their premiere, and add screen reader support and the ability to browse content by availability of descriptions.[144]

In March 2015, Netflix expanded to Australia and New Zealand.[145][146] In September 2015, Netflix launched in Japan, its first country in Asia.[147][148][149] In October 2015, Netflix launched in Italy, Portugal, and Spain.[150]

In January 2016, at the Consumer Electronics Show, Netflix announced a major international expansion of its service into 130 additional countries. It then had become available worldwide except China, Syria, North Korea, Kosovo and Crimea.[151] In May 2016, Netflix created a tool called Fast.com to determine the speed of an Internet connection.[152] It received praise for being "simple" and "easy to use", and does not include online advertising, unlike competitors.[153][154][155] On November 30, 2016, Netflix launched an offline playback feature, allowing users of the Netflix mobile apps on Android or iOS to cache content on their devices in standard or high quality for viewing offline, without an Internet connection.[156][157][158][159]

In 2016, Netflix released an estimated 126 original series or films, more than any network or cable channel.[160] In April 2016, Hastings stated that the company planned to expand its in-house, Los Angeles-based Netflix Studios to grow its output; Hastings ruled out any potential acquisitions of existing studios.[161]

In February 2017, Netflix signed a music publishing deal with BMG Rights Management, whereby BMG will oversee rights outside of the United States for music associated with Netflix original content. Netflix continues to handle these tasks in-house in the United States.[162] On April 25, 2017, Netflix signed a licensing deal with IQIYI, a Chinese video streaming platform owned by Baidu, to allow selected Netflix original content to be distributed in China on the platform.[163][164]

On August 7, 2017, Netflix acquired Millarworld, the creator-owned publishing company of comic book writer Mark Millar. The purchase marked the first corporate acquisition to have been made by Netflix.[165] On August 14, 2017, Netflix entered into an exclusive development deal with Shonda Rhimes and her production company Shondaland.[166]

In September 2017, Netflix announced it would offer its low-broadband mobile technology to airlines to provide better in-flight Wi-Fi so that passengers can watch movies on Netflix while on planes.[167]

In September 2017, Minister of Heritage Mélanie Joly announced that Netflix had agreed to make a CA$500 million (US$400 million) investment over the next five years in producing content in Canada. The company denied that the deal was intended to result in a tax break.[168][169] Netflix realized this goal by December 2018.[170]

In October 2017, Netflix iterated a goal of having half of its library consist of original content by 2019, announcing a plan to invest $8 billion on original content in 2018.[171] In October 2017, Netflix introduced the "Skip Intro" feature which allows customers to skip the intros to shows on its platform through a variety of techniques including manual reviewing, audio tagging, and machine learning.[172][173]

In November 2017, Netflix signed an exclusive multi-year deal with Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan.[174] In November 2017, Netflix withdrew from co-hosting a party at the 75th Golden Globe Awards with The Weinstein Company due to the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases.[175]

### Netflix in Africa

[edit]

In January 2016, Netflix officially launched it’s services in Africa, with a focus on South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria.[176] The entry into Africa was part of a wider global expansion that saw the platform go live in over 130 countries.[177] Prior to Netflix’s official entry in Africa, African users could only access Netflix’s international catalog, and the platform offered little in terms of African content or local language support.

Between 2018 - 2020 Netflix had started making significant investments in African storytelling, including content acquisitions and original productions. Netflix also hired key personnel to oversee its African strategy, that included Dorothy Ghettuba, a Kenyan media entrepreneur, who joined as head of African Originals in 2019.[178] That same year, Netflix acquired Lionheart by Nigerian filmmaker Genevieve Nnaji, marking the platform’s first Nigerian original film. By 2020, Netflix had begun rolling out original African content, including:

* Queen Sono (South Africa) – First African original series.
* Blood & Water (South Africa).
* Country Queen (2022)  (Kenya) – First Kenyan original series to stream on Netflix.

South Africa has the most African films on Netflix as of May 2025.[177] Netflix investment in Africa has reportedly not only spurred the growth of the film industry in the three countries but has an economic impact as well through job creation.[179] According to the online video-streaming company, it has invested the equivalent of €160 million in film content production in Africa since it began working on the continent in 2016 with over 12,000 jobs created across Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa.[176]

#### Netflix in Kenya

[edit]

Netflix has become a key platform for Kenyan filmmakers to reach global audiences.The inclusion of Kenyan content on Netflix has spurred growth in the region's film industry.[180][181] The journey of Kenyan films to Netflix began with the short film Poacher in 2020, which became the first Kenyan title on the platform, followed by Sincerely Daisy, 40 Sticks and nect.[182] Country Queen (2022), became Kenya’s first Netflix Original series.[183][184] In 2022, Netflix signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of ICT that would see the platform inject Ksh 33 million to enhance skill capacity in Kenya’s TV and film industry, as part of its investment in local content.[185]

In November 2017, Netflix announced that it would be making its first original Colombian series, to be executive produced by Ciro Guerra.[186] In December 2017, Netflix signed Stranger Things director-producer Shawn Levy and his production company 21 Laps Entertainment to what sources say is a four-year deal.[187] In 2017, Netflix invested in distributing exclusive stand-up comedy specials from Dave Chappelle, Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld.[188]

In February 2018, Netflix acquired the rights to The Cloverfield Paradox from Paramount Pictures for $50 million and launched on its service on February 4, 2018, shortly after airing its first trailer during Super Bowl LII. Analysts believed that Netflix's purchase of the film helped to make the film instantly profitable for Paramount compared to a more traditional theatrical release, while Netflix benefited from the surprise reveal.[189][190] Other films acquired by Netflix include international distribution for Paramount's Annihilation[190] and Universal's News of the World and worldwide distribution of Universal's Extinction,[191] Warner Bros.' Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle,[192] Paramount's The Lovebirds[193] and 20th Century Studios' The Woman in the Window.[194] In March, the service ordered Formula 1: Drive to Survive, a racing docuseries following teams in the Formula One world championship.[195]

In March 2018, Sky UK announced an agreement with Netflix to integrate Netflix's subscription VOD offering into its pay-TV service. Customers with its high-end Sky Q set-top box and service will be able to see Netflix titles alongside their regular Sky channels.[196] In October 2022, Netflix revealed that its annual revenue from the UK subscribers in 2021 was £1.4bn.[197]

In April 2018, Netflix pulled out of the Cannes Film Festival, in response to new rules requiring competition films to have been released in French theaters. The Cannes premiere of Okja in 2017 was controversial, and led to discussions over the appropriateness of films with simultaneous digital releases being screened at an event showcasing theatrical film; audience members also booed the Netflix production logo at the screening. Netflix's attempts to negotiate to allow a limited release in France were curtailed by organizers, as well as French cultural exception law—where theatrically screened films are legally forbidden from being made available via video-on-demand services until at least 36 months after their release.[198][199][200] Besides traditional Hollywood markets as well as from partners like the BBC, Sarandos said the company also looking to expand investments in non-traditional foreign markets due to the growth of viewers outside of North America. At the time, this included programs such as Dark from Germany, Ingobernable from Mexico and 3% from Brazil.[201][202][203]

### Global availability

[edit]

Further information: International expansion of Netflix

Countries where Netflix is available (as of March 2022[update]):

Available

Unavailable (China,[388] North Korea, Russia,[389] and Syria.)

Netflix is available in every country and territory except for China, North Korea, Syria, and Russia.[390]

In January 2016, Netflix announced it would begin VPN blocking since it can be used to watch videos from a country where they are unavailable.[391] The result of the VPN block is that people can only watch videos available worldwide and other videos are hidden from search results.[392] Variety is present on Netflix.[clarification needed] Hebrew and right-to-left interface orientation, which is a common localization strategy in many markets, are what define the Israeli user interface's localization, and in some regions, Netflix offers a more affordable mobile-only subscription.[393]

### Subscriptions

[edit]

Customers can subscribe to one of three plans; the difference in plans relates to video resolution, the number of simultaneous streams, and the number of devices to which content can be downloaded.[394]

At the end of Q1 2022, Netflix estimated that 100 million households globally were sharing passwords to their account with others.[321] In March 2022, Netflix began to charge a fee for additional users in Chile, Peru, and Costa Rica to attempt to control account sharing.[319][320][321] On July 18, 2022, Netflix announced that it would test the account sharing feature in more countries, including Argentina, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.[395] On October 17, Netflix launched Profile Transfer to help end account sharing.[396]

On July 13, 2022, Netflix announced plans to launch an advertising-supported subscription option.[397] Netflix's planned advertising tier would not allow subscribers to download content like the existing ad-free platform.[398] On July 20, 2022, it was announced that the advertising-supported tier would be coming to Netflix in 2023 but it would not feature the full library of content.[399] In October, the launch date was announced as November 3, 2022, and was launched in 12 countries: United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, Japan and South Korea.[400][401][402] The ad-supported plan was called "Basic with Ads" and it cost $6.99 per month in the United States at launch.[403]

Netflix announced in February that it was going to enforce stricter regulations for password sharing. In May 2023, Netflix began cracking down on password-sharing in the US, UK, and Australia. Under these new rules, multiple people can use and share one account, but they have to be under the same household. Netflix defines a household as people who live in the same location as the owner of the account. Users are asked to set a primary location based on the device's IP address.[411]

Netflix reported 8.05 million new subscribers in Q2 2024, up from 5.9 million subscribers added in Q2 2023.[412][413]

In July 2024, Netflix started phasing out its cheapest subscription plan for users in France and the US, a year after the plan was removed for Canada and the UK. Members in these countries have the option to sign up for either the standard ad-free plan or the ad plan.[414][415]

### Device support

[edit]

Netflix can be accessed via a web browser, while Netflix apps are available on various platforms, including Blu-ray players, tablet computers, mobile phones, smart TVs, digital media players, and video game consoles. Currently supported game consoles include:

A Android TV-powered remote control with a Netflix button

Several older devices no longer support Netflix. For home gaming consoles, this includes the PlayStation 2,[418] PlayStation TV, Wii[419] and Wii U.[420] For handheld gaming consoles, this includes the Nintendo 3DS family of systems and the PlayStation Vita.[421] The second and third generation Apple TV previously supported Netflix with an ad-free plan, but the app was automatically removed on these devices on July 31, 2024.[422]

In addition, a growing number of multichannel television providers, including cable television and IPTV services, have added Netflix apps accessible within their own set-top boxes, sometimes with the ability for its content (along with those of other online video services) to be presented within a unified search interface alongside linear television programming as an "all-in-one" solution.[423][424][425][426]

The maximum video resolution supported on computers is dependent on the DRM systems available on a particular operating system and web browser.[427]

"Netflix Originals" are content that is produced, co-produced, or distributed exclusively by Netflix. Netflix funds its original shows differently than other TV networks when they sign a project, providing the money upfront and immediately ordering two seasons of most series.[431] It keeps licensing rights, which normally give production companies future revenue opportunities from syndication, merchandising, etc.[160][432]

Over the years, Netflix output ballooned to a level unmatched by any television network or streaming service. According to Variety Insight, Netflix produced a total of 240 new original shows and movies in 2018, then climbed to 371 in 2019, a figure "greater than the number of original series that the entire U.S. TV industry released in 2005."[433] The Netflix budget allocated to production increased annually, reaching $13.6 billion in 2021 and projected to hit $18.9 billion by 2025, a figure that once again overshadowed any of its competitors.[434] As of August 2022, original productions made up 50% of Netflix's overall library in the United States.[435]

### Film and television deals

[edit]

Netflix has exclusive pay TV deals with several studios. The deals give Netflix exclusive streaming rights while adhering to the structures of traditional pay TV terms.

Distributors that have licensed content to Netflix include Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment and previously The Walt Disney Studios. Netflix also holds current and back-catalog rights to television programs distributed by Walt Disney Television, DreamWorks Classics, Kino International, PBS, Warner Bros. Television[436] and Paramount Global Content Distribution,[437] along with titles from other companies such as ABS-CBN Studios,[438] GMA Pictures,[439] Cignal Entertainment, MQ Studios, Regal Entertainment, Viva Films, MNC Media, Screenplay Films, Soraya Intercine Films, Falcon Pictures [id], MD Pictures [id], Rapi Films, Starvision Plus [id], CJ ENM, JTBC, Kakao Entertainment, TBS, TV Asahi, Fuji TV, Mediacorp, Primeworks Studios, GMM Grammy, Public Television Service, Gala Television, ITV Studios, Hasbro Entertainment and StudioCanal. Formerly, the streaming service also held rights to select television programs distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution, Sony Pictures Television and 20th Century Fox Television.

Netflix negotiated to distribute animated films from Universal that HBO declined to acquire, such as The Lorax, ParaNorman, and Minions.[440]

Netflix holds exclusive streaming rights to the film library of Studio Ghibli (except Grave of the Fireflies) worldwide except in the U.S. and Japan as part of an agreement signed with Ghibli's international sales holder Wild Bunch in 2020.[441]

### Netflix Games

[edit]

In July 2021, Netflix hired Mike Verdu, a former executive from Electronic Arts and Facebook, as vice president of game development, along with plans to add video games by 2022.[442] Netflix announced plans to release mobile games that would be included in subscribers' service plans.[443] Trial offerings were first launched for Netflix users in Poland in August 2021, offering premium mobile games based on Stranger Things including Stranger Things 3: The Game, for free to subscribers through the Netflix mobile app.[444]

Netflix officially launched mobile games on November 2, 2021, for Android users around the world. Through the app, subscribers had free access to five games, including two previously made Stranger Things titles. Netflix intends to add more games to this service over time.[445] On November 9, the collection launched for iOS.[446] Verdu said in October 2022 that besides continuing to expand their portfolio of games, they were also interested in cloud gaming options.[447]

To support the games effort, Netflix began acquiring and forming a number of studios. The company acquired Night School Studio, an independent video game developer, in September 2021.[448] Netflix announced plans to acquire Next Games in March 2022 for €65 million as part of Netflix's expansions into gaming. Next Games had developed the mobile title Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales as well as two The Walking Dead mobile games.[449] Later in the month, Netflix also acquired the Texas-based mobile game developer, Boss Fight Entertainment, for an undisclosed sum.[308] Netflix opened a mobile game studio in Helsinki, Finland in September 2022,[450] and a new studio, their fifth overall, in southern California in October 2022,[447] alongside the acquisition of Spry Fox in Seattle.[451]

In June 2024, Verdu was moved into a new role focusing on "innovation in game development."[452] The next month, Netflix hired Alain Tascan, vice president of game development at Epic Games, to head up Netflix Games.[453] As of July 2024, Netflix has over 80 games in development, releasing at least one game each month to attract fans.[454] The company shut down its Southern California "Team Blue" AAA gaming studio in October 2024, leading to the departure of developers like Overwatch producer Chacko Sonny, Halo veteran Joseph Staten and God of War art director Rafael Grassetti.[455] Netflix indicated that it maintains a commitment to grow its gaming business despite the changes.[456][457] In late October, Netflix announced several games based on hit series including Netflix Stories: Outer Banks, Netflix Stories: A Perfect Couple, Netflix Stories: A Virgin River Christmas, and The Ultimatum: Choices, as well as a new daily word game in partnership with TED Talks, TED Tumblewords.[458][459]

## Technology

[edit]

### Content delivery

[edit]

Netflix freely peers with Internet service providers (ISPs) directly and at common Internet exchange points. In June 2012, a custom content delivery network, Open Connect, was announced.[460] For larger ISPs with over 100,000 subscribers, Netflix offers free Netflix Open Connect computer appliances that cache their content within the ISPs' data centers or networks to further reduce Internet transit costs.[461][462] By August 2016, Netflix closed its last physical data center, but continued to develop its Open Connect technology.[463] A 2016 study at the University of London detected 233 individual Open Connect locations on over six continents, with the largest amount of traffic in the US, followed by Mexico.[464][465]

As of July 2017, Netflix series and movies accounted for more than a third of all prime-time download Internet traffic in North America.[466]

### API

[edit]

On October 1, 2008, Netflix offered access to its service via a public application programming interface (API).[467] It allowed access to data for all Netflix titles, and allows users to manage their movie queues. The API was free and allowed commercial use.[468] In June 2012, Netflix began to restrict the availability of its public API.[469] Netflix instead focused on a small number of known partners using private interfaces, since most traffic came from those private interfaces.[470] In November 2014, Netflix retired the public API.[471] Netflix then partnered with the developers of eight services deemed the most valuable, including Instant Watcher, Fanhattan, Yidio and Nextguide.[472]

### Recommendations and thumbnails

[edit]

Netflix presents viewers with recommendations based on interactions with the service, such as previous viewing history and ratings of viewed content. These are often grouped into genres and formats, or feature the platform's highest-rated content. Each title is presented with a thumbnail. Before around 2015, these were the same key art for everyone, but since then has been customized. Netflix may select a specific key art for a thumbnail based on viewing history,[473] such as an actor or scene type based on genre preferences.[474] Some thumbnails are generated from video stills.[475]

The Netflix recommendation system is a vital part of the streaming platform's success, enabling personalized content suggestions for hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide.[476] Using advanced machine learning algorithms, Netflix analyzes user interactions, including viewing history, searches, and ratings, to deliver personalized recommendations for movies and TV shows.

The recommendation system considers individual user preferences, similarities with other users with comparable tastes, specific title attributes (genre, release year, etc.), device usage patterns, and viewing time. As users interact with the platform and provide feedback with their viewing habits, the recommendation system is able to adapt and refine its suggestions over time. Netflix uses a two-tiered ranking system, using the presentation of titles on the homepage for easy navigation to maximize user engagement. This is done by organizing content into rows and ranking the titles within each row based on how much the user would be interested in it.[476] Netflix also uses A/B testing to determine what causes the biggest interest and engagement related to options concerning movie suggestions and how titles are organized.

Tags like "bittersweet", "sitcom", or "intimate" are assigned to each title by Netflix employees.[477] Netflix also uses the tags to create recommendation micro-genres like "Goofy TV Shows" or "Girls Night In".[477]

Netflix launched "responsive recommendations", which display titles on the home page based on what its users are actively searching, in 2025.[478]

## Awards

[edit]

## Criticism

[edit]

Main article: Criticism of Netflix

In 2024, Netflix discontinued its cheapest ad-free plan. Users who were on the plan would have to pay extra for the next cheapest ad-free plan.

Netflix has been subject to criticism from various groups and individuals as its popularity and market reach increased in the 2010s.

Customers have complained about price increases in Netflix offerings dating back to the company's decision to separate its DVD rental and streaming services, which was quickly reversed. As Netflix increased its streaming output, it has faced calls to limit accessibility to graphic violence and include viewer advisories for issues such as sensationalism and promotion of pseudoscience. Netflix's content has also been criticized by disability rights movement advocates for lack of closed captioning quality.[515]

Some media organizations and competitors have criticized Netflix for selectively releasing ratings and viewer numbers of its original programming. The company has made claims boasting about viewership records without providing data to substantiate its successes or using problematic estimation methods.[516] In March 2020, some government agencies called for Netflix and other streamers to limit services due to increased broadband and energy consumption as use of the platform increased. In response, the company announced it would reduce bit rate across all streams in Europe, thus decreasing Netflix traffic on European networks by around 25 percent. These same steps were later taken in India.[517]

In May 2022, Netflix's shareholder Imperium Irrevocable Trust filed a lawsuit against the company for violating the U.S. securities laws.[518] In January 2024, a federal judge dismissed the suit, stating that shareholders failed to provide instances of Netflix lying about subscriber growth.[519]

In May 2023, Netflix officially banned the use of password sharing between individuals of different households, meaning sharing an account was only available to those living in the same house.[520][521] After reporting a record number of new subscribers in Q4 2024, Netflix raised prices in early 2025.[522]
