Netflix does not have one worldwide catalogue: its TV shows and films vary by country and change periodically. The country examples below are historical leads, not a verified list of what is streaming today. Check each title in the Netflix catalogue for your location before planning a watch.
Why Netflix shows differ by country
Netflix says its service is available in over 190 countries and regions, but its catalogue varies by location and changes over time. Regional popularity, licensing rights and the studios or distributors that control those rights all affect what appears in a given catalogue. A title can be available in one country and absent in another, even where both countries share a language. Netflix explains catalogue variation and availability; its regional availability guidance describes how rights and regional preferences affect individual titles.
Historical analysis also illustrates the difference between originals and other films. In a 2022 European Commission Joint Research Centre sample of 20 countries, Netflix Original films appeared in an average of 18.3 countries, compared with 6.8 countries for non-original films. Those are sample averages from that study, not current availability counts. Read the Joint Research Centre report.
Historical country-by-country Netflix watchlist
The following titles were cited as country-specific examples in an article last updated November 9, 2025. They are useful starting points for a search, but neither that date nor the country labels establish that a title remains available there now. No current check date, season count or part count is established for these examples.

How to check whether a title is in your Netflix catalogue
- Search Netflix while signed in from the country you want to check. A title page or search result is a more useful check than an old country list; availability can change.
- Review the profile language. Netflix says some profile-language settings can limit visible results to titles with audio or subtitles in that language. To see titles regardless of audio or subtitle availability, choose a different profile language. See Netflix’s instructions for seeing all titles available in your country.
- Check the profile’s maturity rating and blocked-title settings. Either can prevent a title from appearing or playing for that profile. Netflix lists these among reasons a title may be hard to find. See Netflix’s missing-title troubleshooting guidance.
- Consider whether the title has been released locally and whether Netflix has local rights. An unreleased title or unavailable regional rights can explain its absence; a title branded as a Netflix Original may still have regional exceptions. Netflix discusses the licensing of TV shows and movies.
Will a VPN unlock another country’s Netflix shows?
Do not rely on a VPN as a way to browse a chosen country’s full catalogue. Netflix says a VPN hides your region and permits access only to titles available globally. Its guidance does not promise that a VPN will unlock a particular country or show. For account-country changes and VPN details, consult Netflix’s country-of-account guidance.
