Netflix is going Dutch. The online video giant says it will expand into the Netherlands, its 41st country, later this year.
Subscribers will be able to stream Hollywood fare, local TV series and Netflix originals like "House of Cards" and "Arrested Development" on TVs, game consoles, computers and mobile devices.
Netflix Inc. didn't offer details on pricing, saying only there would be a "low monthly price."
