With more than 20 million streaming members globally, Netflix has revolutionized entertainment by allowing people to enjoy TV shows and movies when, where and how they want with a click of a remote, mouse or the touch of a screen.

"Netflix delights members by giving them choice, convenience and control over the entertainment they love for an incredibly low price."
Throughout 2011, Netflix continued to add to its already expansive variety of TV shows and movies in Canada, signing agreements with multiple content providers, and announcing the creation of the highly-anticipated Netflix original series "House of Cards," a gripping political thriller from Executive Producer David Fincher and starring two-time Academy Award winning actor Kevin Spacey.
Another Netflix original, "Lilyhammer," starring Steven Van Zandt of "The Sopranos" and Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, as a New York gangster in Norway, premieres on Netflix in the U.S., Canada and Latin America on February 6.
