The company did not specify how much of its content catalog will ultimately be available for download at any given time, merely promising that there’s “more on the way.” Behold, a shiny new option for further marathon enabling! Netflix The download option is already available for many movies and series, including Netflix originals Stranger Things, The Crown, Orange Is the New Black, and Narcos. “Just click the download button on the details page for a film or TV series and you can watch it later without an internet connection.”
“While many members enjoy watching Netflix at home, we’ve often heard they also want to continue their Stranger Things binge while on airplanes and other places where Internet is expensive or limited,” the company said in a statement. (The download option is not currently available for laptop computers.) On November 30, Netflix announced on its media blog that it has launched a “download” option that will allow users to save content to their phones or tablets so they can watch it even without an internet connection - and no, it won’t cost extra. Just in case you weren’t already wary of losing too many weekends to Netflix marathons, the streaming service is taking another huge step toward dominating its audience’s viewing habits: It’s making its programming available offline.
