- Business
- Netflix, Inc. provides subscription streaming entertainment, offering television series, films, documentaries, stand-up comedy, live events, video podcasts and mobile games through internet-connected devices worldwide; the company also licenses content from third parties, produces and distributes original programming in multiple languages, and sells advertising-supported subscription tiers alongside ad-free plans. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Los Gatos, California, Netflix operates principally through its United States and International segments, serving consumers in global markets with a growing mix of entertainment, advertising and interactive content offerings. Recent strategic developments include a definitive agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s Warner Bros. film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO, a transaction announced in December 2025 and expected to expand Netflix’s studio and premium content portfolio materially. The company has also expanded its advertising business, with management targeting roughly $3 billion in ad revenue in 2026, while continuing to invest in live programming, gaming and new content formats, including video podcasts and additional live events outside the United States. In addition, Netflix has recently broadened licensing and merchandising partnerships, including global toy and game arrangements tied to KPop Demon Hunters with Mattel and Hasbro, and expanded content licensing deals with major studios, reflecting a broader strategic shift toward monetization beyond core streaming subscriptions.
