Have you noticed that some Netflix series release all episodes on premiere day, while others drop just one new episode weekly? Here's the reason behind this strategy.
Netflix gives you viewing flexibility. Binge the entire first season of The Witcher in one evening, captivated by Henry Cavill's performance, or pace yourself episode by episode. Yet, highly anticipated shows sometimes follow a weekly rollout. What's the difference?
Netflix has dominated as the top legal streaming platform for years and produces its own hit content. The acclaimed series Lupin, starring Omar Sy, is a Netflix original and one of the most-watched globally.
Likewise, Squid Game—this season's breakout phenomenon—unleashed all episodes at launch for instant binging.

Netflix originals like You, The Witcher, Stranger Things, Lupin follow full-drop schedules, but not all popular series are Netflix-made. Take Riverdale, a massive hit with five seasons on Netflix—it's produced by The CW network.
The CW airs episodes first, so Netflix releases them weekly, as the platform confirmed in December 2019 amid viewer inquiries.
