On a global scale, Netflix had 182.9 million paid subs by the end of the first quarter, with revenue reaching USD 5,703.

In connection with Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Netflix executives explain that despite having been forced to pause recording of their originals, they have enough content already concluded or going through the post-production stage. Therefore, they assure that they will be able to go on premiering originals without trouble, though some shows will not be dubbed.
