Strength in Netflix’s Content Portfolio to Aid Prospect

Netflix has made progress in adding diverse content streaming in more than 190 countries, supporting 20 languages. It continues to produce original content to cater to a wider demographic.

By joining with local creators, writers, cast and production teams, it reflects its values toward cultural preservation and passes it to the upcoming generations.

Netflix’s revenues increased 1.9% year over year in fourth-quarter 2022, owing to strong content. NFLX scooped six wins out of 16 nominations at the Oscars 2023.
