Netflix is planning to spend an incredible $ 18 billion in films, TV programs and other productions in 2025, which is a strong 11% increase compared to 16.2 billion dollars who paid out in 2024.
The figure was confirmed by the CFO Spencer Neumann of the Netflix CFO at the Morgan Stanley Tech conference, Media and Telecom of 2025, where he clarified that the company does not see any limit in sight.
“We are not on any side near a ceiling,” said Neumann, adding, “I think we are still starting”.
If you spent time scrolling through Netflix, the pure content volume is overwhelming and that investment continues to draw big names. Just this year, Netflix is releasing The electrical statusA science fiction film from Russo Bros. Millie Bobby Brown AND Chris Pratt.
The Russos have become repeated collaborators with Netflix, with Gray man ($ 200 million budget) and now The electrical status Continuing their successful series on the streaming platform.
Then there is the Extraction franchise with Chris Hemsworth, Zack Snyder ‘Sort Rebellious moon AND Army of the Deadand great TV successes like Wednesday, Bridgengeronand the return of Beverly Hills Cop with Axel FAnd much more. These projects are not cheap and, although some of them do not really hit, Netflix seems to have a talent to find out what the committed audience maintains.
Beyond the great successful projects, Netflix also dominates in the documentary, K-dramas and anime sectors in which the platform continues to expand and perfect its offers.
According to Neumann, their approach to content strategy is “a little art and a little science”, suggesting that while they have data that guide their decisions, there is still an instinctive element in what becomes green.
Of course, this aggressive spending strategy comes with some victims. While Netflix is launching billions into new productions, he is also cutting ruthlessly shows that do not meet his internal metrics, whatever they can be. Just recently, The recruit It was canceled after two seasons, despite the strong charts of spectators.
For fans, it was frustrating to look at the good show canceled after only one or two seasons. What makes a show worthy of renewal and another disposable? Netflix has not broken the code to make the cancellation policies feel, but as long as the shots continue to come, the car continues to move.
With $ 18 billion of expenses, I imagine that we can expect to continue seeing the increase in the subscription price.
