Netflix has set a goal of achieving a 50 per cent mix between its own in-house programming and licenses from outside studios

Netflix CFO David Wells announced at Goldman Sachs’ Communacopia conference on Sept. 27 that the company has set a goal of achieving a 50 per cent mix between its own in-house programming and that which it licenses from outside studios. Currently Netflix is one third-to-halfway to the 50 per cent goal but hopes to get there in the next few years. The announcement could be a boon for the Canadian production industry, where Netflix offerings such as The Killing, Hemlock Grove, The 100, and Shadowhunters are already shot.
