Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Netflix revealed it has now reached 301.63 million subscribers globally when it reported its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings Tuesday.

Analysts estimated the streamer would add 9.18 million paid subs during the October-December time period versus the 13.12 million it tacked on in the comparable Q4 2023.

Netflix smashed those expectations by adding 18.91 million subscribers, a year-over-year increase of 15.9%. For comparison, Netflix added 5.1 million paid subscribers in Q3 of 2024 to reach 282.72 million globally.

That marked year-over-year growth of more than 14%. It should be noted that the fourth-quarter of 2024 marks the last quarter Netflix will be providing subscriber numbers regularly.
