Spotify and Netflix are teaming up to bring sports, culture, lifestyle and true crime video podcasts from Spotify Studios and The Ringer to Netflix to complement the streamer’s existing programming.
Audiences will be able to watch select Spotify Studios and The Ringer video podcasts on Netflix starting in early 2026 in the US, with more markets to follow.
Initial video podcasts will include The Bill Simmons Podcast and The Zach Lowe Show in sport, The Rewatchables and The Big Picture in culture and lifestyle and Conspiracy Theories and Serial Killers in true crime.
“At Netflix, we’re always looking for new ways to entertain our members, wherever and however they want to watch,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy. “As video podcasts continue to grow in popularity, our partnership with Spotify allows us to bring full video versions of these top shows to both Netflix and Spotify audiences. From pop culture and lifestyle to true crime and sports, this curated selection of video podcasts adds fresh voices and new perspectives to Netflix, making our entertainment lineup more exciting than ever.”
Looking ahead, Spotify plans to bring similar opportunities to a wider range of creators. Throughout this expansion, the core principles of Spotify’s podcasting model remain unchanged: Creators retain control, benefit from multiple revenue streams, and are supported in building sustainable businesses.
