Netflix set to launch in Singapore by early next year

A local office will be opened in coming months.

Netflix, the US-based Internet television network, will launch in Singapore by early 2016 as it moves to complete its global rollout by the end of next year.

Once launched, Internet users will be able to subscribe to Netflix and instantly watch a curated selection of popular TV shows and movies in high-definition or even Ultra HD 4K on nearly any Internet-connected screen. 

Netflix will open an office in Singapore in coming months, making it the hub for its expanding operations in Asia.

Netflix will be available at launch on smart TVs, tablets and smartphones, computers and a range of Internet-capable game consoles and set-top boxes. 

Additional details on pricing, programming and supported devices will be available at a later date.
