Netflix India recently tied up with Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment for an original show called ‘The Bard of Blood’. We’ve commissioned many originals, like Sacred Games—that’ll be coming out in 2018 and be our first big Netflix India original. Already, more than one-third (34%) of Netflix viewing hours in India is through connected TVs, which includes people using smart TVs or game consoles. We believe the switch from linear TV to internet TV is a once-in-a-generation phenomenon, similar to the switch from landlines to smartphones. Over the following decades, internet TV will replace linear, and we hope to keep leading by offering an amazing entertainment experience.
