Netflix now available in Cuba
With 5 million subscribers already in Latin America, and with Barack Obama lifting trade sanctions on Cuba, Netflix is one of the first American companies allowed to do business with the communist nation since the 1950s.
Unfortunately, a full list of programming options hasn’t really been put out via the press release, so it’s unknown if their hit animated series BoJack Horseman is available as of yet for the $7.99 a month service. But, if Orange is the New Black is allowed in, then I suppose anything’s possible.
This is just the latest effort of Netflix to expand its international efforts, with the latest example coming with the streaming service making plans to launch in Japan.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
