Film and television rental and streaming service Netflix has announced it will expand into Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean.
The move comes after the company previously announced this year it would be expanding over 40 different countries.
“What Netflix seeks to do is connect the world to provide the world’s content to the world’s citizens,” CEO Reed Hastings said earlier this week as the service was launched in Brazil.
“We are committed to offering the same great service, value and choice throughout the Americas, and we can’t wait to get started.”
Previous reports have indicated that Netflix may be planning on coming to Australia, but no official announcement has been made.
