Netflix uses AI on 300 shows. In one docuseries, there are 17 minutes of AI-generated footage. It took half the time and money to create. That money goes towards making more content, not padding the company’s pockets.
In 2026, Netflix used AI on around 300 shows, mainly during post-production to augment crowds and historical battles. There are 17 minutes of AI-generated content in their docuseries, American Experiment. It took half the time and money to produce compared to traditional techniques. The $20 billion budget isn’t getting slashed; instead, the money is being funneled into other projects.
Hollywood has kept its use of AI under wraps (“don’t ask, don’t tell”). But Netflix is breaking the silence by revealing they use AI on 300 shows. That’s not just a test run anymore. It’s the future of filmmaking.
