New movies have also been released. On January 1, “Meet the Fockers,” “Pride and Prejudice,” and “Nanny McPhee” came to Netflix along with 34 new movies. In a recent poll conducted by Netflix, Season 7 of Parks and Recreation” has shown to be the most popular release yet, with 17 percent of votes going towards that specific series.

It’s not a surprise that many North Atlanta students are excited for these new additions. Sophomore Jennifer Lusk explains how she binge-watches “Cupcake Wars,” a popular Food Network competition show. “One time I watched two seasons back to back. It’s safe to say I’m obsessed,” Lusk said.

Along with new releases, Netflix was launched into 136 new countries on January 6. At his company’s CES Keynote Address in Las Vegas, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced the company would be expanding into major markets like India, South Korea, Turkey, and Poland. Today, Netflix is offered in almost every country with the exception of China. “In China you need specific permission from the government. We’re continuing to work on that, and we’re very patient,” Hastings said.

With Netflix’s growing popularity, it’s no doubt that many other new shows will be added to the collection throughout the year. So make sure to keep your eyes peeled, because your new favorite show might be just a click away.
