Netflix unveils 2025 programming slate with over 190 titles including new projects from Ben Affleck and the Duffer Brothers

Netflix previewed its 2025 programming slate, showcasing over 190 titles, including returning hits like "Stranger Things." Chief content officer Bela Bajaria emphasized the company's focus on original content, contrasting it with industry trends of sequels and reboots. Despite its success, with over 300 million subscribers, Netflix presented itself as an underdog. Bajaria addressed criticisms about producing quality content, asserting that the company can deliver numerous titles without sacrificing quality. The preview included new projects from notable creators, like Ben Affleck's film "Rip" and upcoming shows from the Duffer Brothers. Netflix aims to blend familiar and original content to attract a diverse audience while maintaining its unique identity in the streaming landscape.
