A new week means new additions to Netflix‘s streaming library, and Netflix is pulling out all the punches. Beginning on Monday and continuing through the weekend, the streaming giant will be expanding its content catalog by a total of 19 new titles, which join dozens of others already made throughout the month.
The new additions join a handful of others already made throughout February, and with 14 of the 19 new additions set to be Netflix originals, prove the streaming giant is keeping to its plans of putting extra focus on pushing out fresh, original content throughout 2020. While the streamer had big ambitions at creating new material in 2019, those ambitions have seemingly skyrocketed for this year, with Variety reporting that Netflix will invest around $17.3 billion in content this year, which is up from around $15.3 billion in 2019.
