Netflix's original content has always been one of its great draws. Series like House of Cards, Orange is the new black or more recently DareDevil or Stranger Things are some of the series that have become synonymous with Netflix. But in this streaming video platform, available all over the world except in four countries, we can not only find series, but we can also find a large number of movies, with just over two years old that also allows us to spend a entertaining time if we are tired of the traditional television model, where sometimes the film lasts less than the number of commercials that are broadcast in between.
Netflix's next goal, as reported by the company's CFO David Wells, goes through expanding its catalog so that practically half of all content is self-produced. Wells says the company is undergoing a multi-year transition to focus primarily on original content, which is what really grabs users' attention and may be reason enough to decide between a streaming video platform or other.
Netflix wants to expand the amount allocated to series from $ 5.000 billion today to just over $ 6.000 in 2017. According to Ted Sarandos, Netflix's Director of Content, production costs are getting lower and lower This allows the company to choose from a large number of projects that arrive at its offices almost every day.
Remember that Netflix does not produce the episodesInstead, it buys them exclusively directly from the production companies that are in charge of the entire process. In this way, the platform always has a wide range to choose from without risking expensive productions that are not guaranteed success.
