Analytics reveal that science fiction and fantasy shows have overtaken comedy as the genre of choice for many Netflix subscribers, and the streaming company is responding by increasing their investment in productions like Altered Carbon and Stranger Things. The company’s latest order is, appropriately, a sci-fi drama involving astronauts and alien artifacts.
Science fiction and fantasy are dominating Netflix, and subscribers can expect a lot more of it in the coming months. "Sci-fi and fantasy" became the most popular genre of Netflix original show in Q1 of 2018, and the streaming service has been able to "anticipate" an increase in demand for the genre by rapidly expanding its production of original sci-fi and fantasy shows and movies, according to the analytics firm Ampere Analysis.
