The deal gives Netflix streaming rights to shows including 2011 drama series I’m Mita, Your Housekeeper, Death Note, a live-action adaptation of a comic series, and Tokyo Tarareba Girls, which is also a remake of a comic. Netflix is expanding its offering of Japanese content by partnering with Nippon TV to bring 30 of the Tokyo-based network’s drama and entertainment shows to the global streamer’s Asian subscribers.
