Netflix announced on Tuesday, 2025‑10‑14, that it will add a slate of Spotify’s most popular video podcasts to its service beginning early 2026, as part of a new distribution partnership aimed at broadening its entertainment lineup and drawing new audiences.
The partnership will bring podcasts from The Ringer, a network acquired by Spotify in 2020, including titles such as "The Bill Simmons Podcast," "The Rewatchables," and "Serial Killers," with additional podcasts expected after the initial launch. The selection spans sports, culture, and true‑crime genres, offering a diverse range of content for Netflix members.
By expanding into video podcasts, Netflix taps into a rapidly growing segment of on‑demand audio‑visual content, potentially boosting ad revenue and subscriber acquisition. The move also aligns with Spotify’s strategy to broaden its video‑podcast distribution and provides Netflix with fresh, creator‑driven content that can differentiate its platform.
The partnership will launch first in the U.S. in early 2026, with additional markets slated to follow. This phased rollout supports Netflix’s goal of diversifying its content library and attracting new audiences while leveraging Spotify’s established podcast audience.
