Global Crew and Strong Pipeline Protect Netflix from Hollywood Strike

Netflix is expected to weather the ongoing Hollywood strike due to its strong pipeline of shows and international production crew. While striking actors and writers have forced U.S. studios to halt productions, Netflix's international production capabilities and content from countries not involved in the strike give it a significant advantage. The company's crackdown on password sharing and the introduction of its cheaper, ad-supported plan have also contributed to its subscriber growth. Analysts predict that Netflix's ad-supported revenue could reach $770 million by the end of 2023. Despite the strike, Netflix is set to report its highest second-quarter subscriber additions since 2020.
