More production houses are expected to expand their innovative programming from platforms like Hulu and Netflix after many competing streaming services beginning in the next coming years.
For this purpose, Netflix is trying to boost up its own archive to overcome the loss of movies like “Black Panther” and shows like “Friends,” and they will not cause a valuable loss in their viewership. But with the news of Netflix new partnership with “Spiritual Wellness” brand Goop and Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle is hope for somehow increase in their viewership.
