Number of Netflix content productions 2017-2021, by type
Since 2017, Netflix has been decreasing the amount of its content that were produced by third-party distributors, in favor of increasing the amount of original Netflix content offered on the platform. Original content released on Netflix has increased by 212 percent from 2017/18 to 2020/21, going from 31 original releases in the former to 97 new original content releases in the latter. Netflix has also increased the proportion of its original content releases produced in a foreign language, both due to consumer demand as well as regulatory requirement.
