Netflix gained 8.76 million subscribers in Q3, reaching a total of 247.15 million subscribers by the end of September. The company reported significant growth in its ad-supported plan, with membership up almost 70% quarter-over-quarter. Netflix also highlighted the success of original content, including the live-action adaptation of "One Piece" and the popularity of "Suits." The company increased the price of its basic and premium plans in the U.S., France, and the U.K. Netflix expects free cash flow for 2023 to be approximately $6.5 billion, with $1 billion in lower-than-planned cash content spend due to ongoing writers and actors strikes.

Netflix is restructuring its film units to make fewer but better movies, resulting in a handful of layoffs, including two longtime executives.

The restructuring is aimed at scaling back the company's output of films to ensure that more of them are high quality.
