Netflix will develop and produce a new show based on The Witcher Saga, the series of eight novels by Andrzej Sapkowski that inspired the hugely popular CD Projekt Red RPG games. Sapkowski - who does not profit from the game series - will serve as a creative consultant on the series. “I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories," he explained in a press release, "staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years writing."

If it’s possible, it’s starting to look like people could have been underestimating Netflix’s international potential. Media analysts at PiperJaffray announced this week that current estimates for Netflix overseas are likely underselling what will really happen. When you compare international progress with how we know domestic progress went, they say, it’s clear Netflix is going to beat what experts are predicting by a large margin.

Netflix takes a famously light hand when it comes to canceling its shows, to the point that an abrupt first-season elimination—like the one that recently ended Baz Luhrmann’s The Get Down—constitutes a major divergence from the streaming service’s usual patterns. If you ask the company’s CEO, Reed Hastings, though, it might be time for Netflix to start giving way more stuff the axe. The trouble, Hastings says, is that the company’s shows have just been too darn good.

ESPN has been the biggest spender in television entertainment for several years now. With an average of $7.3 billion budgeted every year, they continually outspend other networks by a large margin. Buying the rights to things like Monday Night Football and NBA and MLB games, it makes sense that the network has to spend big to maintain rights to this programming. Live sports are expensive, and ESPN is, at least now, the leader in sports broadcasting. But as far as budgets go, Netflix is catching up fast, and will almost certainly surpass ESPN in 2018.

High prices, poor customer service, and an increase in streaming services are causing more consumers than ever to think about ditching or switching their cable or satellite TV service. According to a new report from TiVo, a whopping 48.9% of pay TV customers are thinking about leaving their current providers within the next 6 months.

Bill Nye's Netflix talk show was met with mixed reviews, but it must have done well enough, because it's coming back for another season. The streaming platform has released an official teaser for Bill Nye Saves the World's second season, which the science educator has posted on Facebook. It starts by showing anti-science tweets and those calling Nye a "totalitarian eugenicist in a fake lab coat," "Bill Lie the Pseudoscience Guy," a quack and even Satan, to drive home the point that the world needs more saving.

The Netflix animated comedy series “F Is for Family” has been renewed for a third season. The series was created by Bill Burr and Michael Price. Burr tweeted the news on Wednesday saying, “Really happy to announce there will be a season 3 of FIFF. Thanks to everyone for watching! @netflix #FIsForFamily #gaumontTV”

Netflix, Inc. is one of the largest providers of streaming television and movie content on the Internet. As of the first quarter of 2017, Netflix has just shy of 99 million subscribers. It added 5 million subscriber's in this year's first quarter making it the leading streaming service. The company is currently leading the charge over competitors such as Hulu and Amazon Prime Instant Video.

Nearly all of Futurama has been removed from Netflix and fans of the show aren’t taking it very well. People have been posting a number of memes and videos — a perfect fit for the series — to show their displeasure with Netflix’s removal of the first five seasons. None, however, are as popular or as perfect as this particular joke.

In Season 3, with the bloody hunt for Pablo Escobar over, attention now turns to the the Cali Cartel. Led by four powerful godfathers, this cartel operates much differently than Escobar’s, preferring to bribe government officials and keep its violent actions out of the headlines. Pedro Pascal returns as DEA agent Javier Peña with Damian Alcazar, Francisco Denis, Alberto Ammann, Pepe Rapazote as the four Kings, along with Matias Varela, Michael Stahl-David, Matt Whelan, Miguel Angel Silvestre, Kerry Bishe, and Arturo Castro.

Yesterday, we reported that Verizon Wireless appeared to be throttling Netflix traffic, — and today, the company seems to have come clean. In a statement provided to Ars Technica and The Verge, Verizon implicitly admitted to capping the traffic, blaming the issue on a temporary video optimization test. “We've been doing network testing over the past few days to optimize the performance of video applications on our network," a Verizon Wireless spokesperson said. “The testing should be completed shortly. The customer video experience was not affected.”

The premiere season of ‘Stranger Things’ took the world by storm, proving to be one of the biggest players in the industry. Prior to releasing season 2, Netflix is anticipating the continued success of the show and has in-turn, merited the science-fiction drama a third season. That could not be the end either, with the show’s creators, Matt and Ross Duffer stating that they have a 5 season plan in mind for the future.

The digital streaming giant plans to continue burning cash to fuel original productions and subscriber growth. When Netflix was founded, the Internet was young, DVDs were popular and no one considered watching a movie streamed online. Twenty years later, Netflix’s transformation from an underdog DVD-by-mail service to Hollywood powerhouse — one that has redefined how TV and movies are produced and consumed — has been remarkable.

The library just got in on the streaming game. New Yorkers with a library card have access to more than 30,000 feature films, documentaries, foreign language and training videos starting Friday. Library patrons with the NYPL age 13 and up can view up to 10 films a month. Card holders with the Brooklyn Public Library can stream six movies a month.

In two seasons of Daredevil, we have seen Matt Murdock move through many women. Claire Temple steamed up his apartment (though how far the couple went, in their very brief relationship, is left to the imagination of the viewers), he gave Karen goosebumps in the rain before their one and only date, and he was willing to throw everything in his life away for Elektra. It seems that the only woman in New York that was immune to the Murdock charm was Elena Cardenas, who adored Señor Foggy.

The six-episode untitled series will feature in-depth interviews as well as topics outside of the studio. Two years after signing off CBS' The Late Show, David Letterman is returning to the small screen.

Once upon a time, Netflix was just a mail order video service, famous for its red envelopes containing DVDs. And when the company went public in 2002, its stock traded for under $9 per share. Five years later, the company introduced streaming, forever changed the world of entertainment, and its stock eventually exploded. Like Apple and Microsoft, Netflix’s stock also comes standard with a “what if” question: What if I would have purchased at the IPO? Or even a year or two later?

The Jason Bateman and Laura Linney drama will return for another round of 10 episodes. Netflix is going back to the Ozarks. Less than a month after its premiere, the streaming giant has renewed Jason Bateman and Laura Linney drama Ozark for a second season.

Now that Apple has seemingly lost its spark, Netflix has become the most talked-about company in the world – and for good reason. The streaming innovator is in the middle of disrupting several industries, having completely revolutionized television and now poised to do the same with the film industry. The company’s commitment to innovation has put Netflix head and shoulders above its closest streaming competitors in terms of both subscriber totals and critical acclaim;

Given the binge-friendly nature of Netflix content, fans will likely blow through all eight episodes of The Defenders when it premieres on Friday and be left craving more adventures from the Marvel superheroes. But they shouldn’t worry as they won’t have to wait long.
