Netflix will offer local licensed content in addition to its own originals, including future series such as “Marco Polo, BoJack Horseman and, among many kids titles, DreamWorks Animation’s All Hail King Julien”. Netflix in Australia will also be available on a long list of devices, including TVs, game consoles, tablets, phones and PCs.

The price has not been announced, but we can probably expect it to be more or less equal to other regions. Netflix currently has three tiers offering SD, HD and 4K.
