• Netflix The Spanish premieres that will arrive in the coming months

Netflix

added two million fewer subscribers than expected to its platform in a record first quarter in revenue and earnings for the

Los Gatos, California-based company.

The leader in the

streaming

sector

already has 208 million subscribers worldwide -after adding 4 million more- compared to the forecasts of 210 million, confirming the slowdown in that chapter, something that it attributed in part to the obstacles to produce new seasons of some of his greatest pandemic successes.

Its shares fell sharply - up to 11% - in the

after-hours

market

,

hit in part by the downward forecasts in the number of subscribers for the next quarter, which expect that it will not exceed one million subscribers compared to

10 million budgeted a year earlier.

Still, the company anticipates "a strong second half of the year" with the return of some of its hottest series and "an exciting movie proposition," according to the shareholder statement.

The platform led by

Reed Hastings is

confident that the return of titles such as

La casa de papel

,

Sex Education

,

The Witcher

or

You will

help restore momentum to the brand after months of quarantines and mandatory lockdowns by Covid-19. The bet is also firm with films like

Red Notice

- starring

Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson

and

Ryan Reynolds -

and

Don't Look Up

, with a cast full of big names like

Meryl Streep

and

Leonardo DiCaprio.

For the moment, their numbers are stronger than ever, clearly favored by the climate created by the pandemic, with an "unproven growth" in the number of members during 2020. Net profit in the first quarter of 2021 reached 1,707 million dollars, more than double the same period last year, with a record in operating income of 2 billion dollars compared to 958 in the first three months of 2020.

Its objective is now to consolidate its offer and production from various international markets to replicate successes such as that of

Lupine

, the French series starring

Omar Sy,

"titles that not only generate high levels of viewing but can also go beyond the cultural spirit and transcend the film and television industry. " In total,

76 million people watched the series

in its first 28 days of broadcast.

The platform also took the opportunity to breastfeed for its strong presence in the awards season for yet another year.

They start with

36 nominations from a total of 17 titles

this Sunday at the

Oscars,

with the goal

of

winning

the statuette for best film has not yet been reached.

Mank

, with 10 nominations, is his great hope for this edition.
