Nearly 300 Netflix projects in 2026 have used generative AI, primarily in post-production, the company revealed in its Q2 earnings letter Source: clarin, hoydo.
What Netflix said
Netflix stated that generative AI is "growing rapidly" among its creative partners, allowing "higher quality results in less time and at lower cost" Source: clarin. In some cases, without AI, "it would have been impossible to include certain key shots and sequences" Source: infobae. The company expects all production partners to report any planned AI use Source: diariolibree.
Examples and rationale
Examples of AI use include:
- "Brasil 70: A Saga do Tri" (Brazil) – digital crowd amplification
- "Glory" (India) – battle recreations
- "The American Experiment" (US) – building visual universes Source: diariolibree, hoydo
