Have A Look At Netflix’s Promising Original Shows Premiering In 2016
By: Dustin Rowles 01.18.16
Netflix is not content to release one or two television series a month, which is arguably enough to justify anyone’s monthly subscription fee. The company has already surpassed HBO in revenue and subscribers, but it wants to be considered more than just a streaming service that provides access to other networks’ series. It wants to be the leading television provider online or on cable. After releasing 16 original series in 2015, Netflix is upping the ante in 2016, releasing nearly double that, adding 15 more series to its slate.
