Video Podcasts Have Now Quietly Rolled Out On Netflix Internationally However Libraries Differ

Netflix’s newest style push has lastly arrived outdoors the US and Canada. Over the previous week, video podcasts have steadily rolled out to worldwide subscribers, following the function’s preliminary North American launch in January 2026 (the place the library now sits at 46 titles).

When Netflix first introduced its podcast initiative late final 12 months—full with a number of distributor offers—solely the US and Canada had been initially included. On the time, the streamer solely confirmed that “different markets [would] observe.”

Fortunately, worldwide subscribers haven’t needed to wait too lengthy.

On the time of writing, the podcast lineup out there on Netflix in worldwide areas contains 22 titles. Whereas availability could differ barely relying in your area, most nations we checked had entry to the next:

• Behind the Bastards (2026)
• The BobbyCast (2026)
• The Breakfast Membership (2026)
• Bridgerton: The Official Podcast (2026)
• Buried Bones – a historic true crime podcast with Kate Winkler Dawson and Paul Holes (2026)
• Expensive Chelsea (2026)
• Within the Check Kitchen (2025)
• Final Podcast on the Left (2026)
• Homicide with My Husband (2026)
• My Favourite Homicide with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark (2026)
• The Pete Davidson Present (2026)
• The Psychology of your 20s (2026)
• The Aspect Dish from America’s Check Kitchen (2026)

• Stuff You Missed in Historical past Class (2026)
• Therapuss with Jake Shane (2026)
• This Is Essential (2026)
• The White Home with Michael Irvin (2026)

That’s slightly below half of the full variety of podcasts out there within the US and Canada, which stands at 46 titles on the time of writing. Nearly all of these are structured into two seasons: a “Finest-of 2025” assortment, and a 2026 playlist that updates weekly with new episodes.

What’s the most important divide between areas? The sports activities content material. In worldwide territories, Netflix is at the moment lacking all titles from Barstool and The Ringer. Nonetheless, this hole will quickly shut, as a number of of these titles are actually exhibiting placeholder pages with episodes scheduled to drop over the subsequent few weeks.

As for accessibility, there are at the moment no dubbing choices for any of the podcasts. Most third-party reveals provide English subtitles (with French sometimes out there at a push), whereas some lack subtitles solely. Nonetheless, Netflix’s in-house productions—just like the Bridgerton companion podcast (which launched on the “Nonetheless Watching Netflix” YouTube channel alongside Season 4 Half 1 in lieu of being out there for worldwide subs)—function intensive subtitle choices throughout a number of languages.

How effectively are podcasts acting on Netflix to date? Actually, we have now completely no thought. Not a single podcast has managed to interrupt into the US day by day high 10s but, and our checks on Google Tendencies got here up utterly flat.

So, why is Netflix betting on them? It’s low-cost leisure that, a minimum of on paper, has the potential to chew up viewing hours and on the finish of the day, Netflix is now an engagement firm as a lot as anything. 

The podcast trade’s viewership metrics have at all times been notoriously opaque—much more so than streaming. This was completely highlighted in a Bloomberg Screentime interview a few years in the past between Lucas Shaw and The Ringer CEO Invoice Simmons (whose community is a significant a part of Netflix’s new podcast push). When pressed about what viewers measurement constitutes a “hit,” Simmons sidestepped, admitting he tries not to have a look at viewers numbers and evaluating the present podcast growth to the Wild West of the mid-2000s weblog period.

We’ll hopefully get a clearer image of viewership when the subsequent Netflix Engagement Report arrives this summer time, overlaying the primary half of the 12 months. Nonetheless, if Netflix logs every podcast episode individually somewhat than beneath a single banner, many could clock in beneath 100,000 views and fail to rank altogether. On condition that many of those video podcasts battle to crack just a few tens of 1000’s of views even on YouTube, our expectations stay extraordinarily modest.
