Netflix initially offered both DVD sales and mail-order DVD rentals, but after a year the sales were stopped in order to concentrate on the DVD rental business.
Video-on-demand and streaming media were offered by Netflix in 2007. In 2010, the business extended to Canada, then to Latin America and the Caribbean.
With the political drama House of Cards as its first piece of original material, the service started to buy and create it in 2011.
By 2022, original content made up 50 percent of Netflix’s library in the US, and the firm had expanded into other fields including publishing video games through the Netflix service.
