In this featured segment, I break down what Netflix House really is, what it isn’t, where the first locations are located, and why this concept could expand to more cities across the U.S. sooner than people expect. I also get into why Netflix House feels different from traditional entertainment offerings, how it’s designed for repeat visits, and what it could mean for the future of immersive, IP-driven attractions.
