History

Historical Context

Netflix launched its first original drama, House of Cards, on February 1 2013, produced by Media Rights Capital and directed by David Fincher. The series, adapted from the BBC miniseries and Michael Dobbs' novel, earned the first major Emmy nominations for a streaming-only show, proving the viability of high-budget online series. That model now drives Netflix’s multi-hundred-million-dollar investments in new adaptations like the upcoming Myron Bolitar drama.
