Netflix Expects Programming Slate to Return to Normal in 2025 After Strike Disruption

Netflix expects its programming slate to return to close to normalcy in 2025, after saying its 2024 slate was “patchier than normal” due to the Hollywood strikes. 

Speaking on Netflix’s third quarter earnings call, co-CEO Ted Sarandos said some of its popular shows including Cobra Kai and Emily in Paris as well as newer shows such as Perfect Couple and Nobody Wants This were scheduled to air “much earlier in the year” but were delayed due to impacts from the strike.
