Abstract
This is part of a case series. Case (A) discusses the company's growth until July 2011. Case (B) tells the story of Netflix's sharp share price decline after it announced it was splitting the business in two and increasing prices. This (C) part covers the years 2012/13, when Netflix found its way back to success. Seeing that the industry bottleneck was shifting from the channel (who can reach the viewers?) to the content (who owns the movie rights?), Netflix started to produce its own TV shows (eg House of Cards, Hemlock Grove). All its shows were highly successful and even won prestigious Emmy Awards in 2013. Unlike cable networks, Netflix made whole seasons available at once, allowing customers to binge-watch all the episodes. In September 2013, two years after its meltdown, the Netflix share price hit an all-time high.
