Just days after announcing their shows had received 14 Emmy nominations, Netflix has announced it will be creating even more original content, producing documentaries and standup comedy specials.
Reads their letter to shareholders: "Beyond series, we will be expanding our Originals initiative to include broadly appealing feature documentaries and stand-up comedy specials. Netflix has become a big destination for fans of these much loved and often under-distributed genres."
COO Ted Sarandos had hinted at the company's interest in comedy during an interview earlier this year.
Netflix has proved to be a hit-maker with its own original content, thanks to Arrested Development, House of Cards and the new Orange is the New Black.
