History

Historical Context

Netflix debuted its first original drama, *House of Cards*, on February 1 2013. Created by Beau Willimon and directed by David Fincher, the 13-episode season earned nine Primetime Emmy nominations and demonstrated that high-budget streaming could rival network TV. That breakthrough underpins today’s similar strategy, as Nemesis’s Top 10 run and renewal echo the series’ lasting influence.
