Netflix original

Platform-produced TV content

A Netflix original is a film or television series produced or distributed exclusively by Netflix, the streaming service.

The label distinguishes content made for Netflix from titles licensed from other studios.

The term has developed connotations of variable quality—some Netflix originals win critical acclaim while others feel rushed or algorithmically designed: Another forgettable Netflix original.
