Netflix had a 2.4 million subscriber influx in its third quarter. This came after a large loss in subscribers earlier in the year and a hit to its stock prices on Wall Street.

They are also planning a crackdown on password sharing and finding that the majority of their subscriptions are coming from outside the U.S.
