Netflix is the world's leading streaming entertainment service with over 200 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, documentaries and feature films across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can watch as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, on any internet-connected screen, all without commercials or commitments. As Netflix continues to scale across the globe, we are creating and licensing an ever growing catalog of content.
