WHAT'S HAPPENING

  • Netflix is stepping into video podcasting, and it's not just another platform play.

BY THE NUMBERS📈

  • 300M+ Netflix subscribers

  • Lower production costs than Netflix shows

  • Currently #2 behind YouTube in video podcast market

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Better revenue model than YouTube's creator program

  • Subscription + ads = predictable creator income

  • Premium production resources at creators' disposal

  • Built-in cross-promotion with Netflix shows

THE OPPORTUNITY

Netflix plans to leverage their massive show catalog ("Friends," "Breaking Bad," "Suits") for companion podcasts. Think premium rewatch shows with actual cast members.

INDUSTRY TALK

"Netflix can't treat podcasts as an afterthought to win big deals"

Chris Peterson, DWNLOAD Media CEO

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING 👀

  • How Netflix structures creator deals

  • Whether top YouTube creators make the switch

  • Integration with existing Netflix content

THE BOTTOM LINE

While YouTube and Spotify compete for creators, Netflix could build an entirely new lane for premium content. The platform that changed TV might just change podcasting too.
