Internet History

Netflix began in 1997 mailing DVDs in red envelopes, earned its first Web presence nod at The Webbys Awards in 2003, and went on to define streaming and teach the Internet how to watch TV online. With House of Cards in 2013 it proved originals could dominate culture. In 2016 it turned on 130 countries at once, making premieres global, from Stranger Things to Money Heist and Squid Game. Binge watching became ritual, a season drop became the new prime time, and “chill” took on a whole new meaning. It pushed the format further with interactive storytelling in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and later with live specials that made streaming feel like an event. Alongside the shows, Netflix built a social machine that amplifies every release, and have been recognized repeatedly by the Webbys throughout our three-decade history. The result is a playbook the industry now follows: prestige at scale, worldwide on day one, built for how culture talks online.
