Netflix on Monday announced plans to expand its streaming video service to the United Kingdom and Ireland early next year.
The company said members from the U.K. and Ireland will be able to watch TV shows and movies on their televisions through a variety of consumer electronics devices that can stream Netflix, as well as on PCs, Macs and mobile tablets and phones.
Netflix plans to release further details about pricing, content and supported devices when the company is closer to launching the service, and the company said U.K. and Ireland residents interested in becoming members can go to its website to sign up and receive an email alert letting them know when Netflix has introduced service in their country.
The most recent plans follow Netflix’s expansion last month into 43 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Last week, Netflix released a new app for Google's Android operating system. The app supports tablets running Android 3.x and for the first time lets members in Canada and Latin America watch TV episodes and movies on their Android-powered smartphones and tablets.
Later today (3 p.m. PT), Netflix will release its quarterly results. The company is expected to report U.S. subscriber losses for the first time in years after raising its prices.
