Netflix has long been one of the kings of streaming, but these days, it's facing some stiff competition from old foes and newcomers alike.

Netflix has canceled "Altered Carbon," it's reported, axing the sci-fi series after just two seasons. Based on the novel by Richard K. Morgan, the cyberpunk show focused on a private investigator, Takeshi Kovacs, in a world where consciousness can be transferred between bodies known as "sleeves."
Starting this October, Stranger Things fans will get the opportunity to experience the universe in an entirely new way, at least if they're in Los Angeles.

Netflix has canceled two original shows that, despite being new to the platform, have both enjoyed solid ratings from viewers and critics.

Netflix is testing adding a shuffle button to help solve "what to watch?" indecision, cutting through catalog overload with the help of some personalization smarts.

It seems that a series of somewhat unfortunate events has resulted in Netflix acquiring three movies based on the Fear Street book series from R.L. Stine.

Netflix is on the verge of acquiring a new movie from Disney's 20th Century Studios, a report claims, a transaction that would see the thriller debut on Netflix's own platform.
