Netflix Will Make Sci-Fi and Fantasy Shows and Movies Its Main Focus

Netflix subscribers who love science fiction and fantasy, get ready, because the service is making those genres it's main focus from this point forward.

According to Ampere Analysis, via Business Insider, sci-fi and fantasy has become the most popular genre of Netflix original programming in Q1 of 2018, and Netflix is ramping up production to meet an anticipated increase in demand.

Ampere Analysis went on to say the genre will comprise 29 percent of Netflix's upcoming original content, which is unsurprising, given the success of Stranger Things, Altered Carbon, Black Mirror, and others.

The previous top category was comedy, which led the pack in Q1 of 2017, but has since dropped to second place, followed by action and adventure.

For more, read up on how Netflix, which is reportedly bigger than Warner Bros. and Sony now, almost bought a theater chain.

Also, be sure to check out how Netflix's Lost in Space stacks up against CBS' Star Trek: Discovery, and read our review of Adam Sandler and Chris Rock's new Netflix film, The Week Of.

As long as they can make high-caliber shows as good as Stranger Things and Black Mirror, that's fine with me.

IMO these shows are some of the best I've EVER seen, and I'm not even a big fan of Sci-Fi / Fantasy...

I know they'll continue to make comedies and dramas, but unsure how this news will translate into what gets released on Netflix in the upcoming months/years.
