Mostly foreign shows, although the big one to me seems to be The Last Kingdom, which technically would qualify as a flagship show.

deadline.com
As expected, the streamer has struck a deal with iHeartMedia for the rights to stream 15 podcasts including Charlamagne tha God’s The Breakfast Club, My Favorite Murder and Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea.
The move comes after a similar deal with The Ringer.
It means that Netflix will be the exclusive home for the video portions of these shows, meaning that they can no longer stream on YouTube. New episodes and select library episodes will launch in early 2026 in the U.S.
Other titles include Bobby Bones Presents: The Bobbycast, Joe and Jada, This Is Important from the Workaholics crew, The Psychology of Your 20s, Behind The Bastards, Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know, Stuff You Missed In History Class, Stuff To Blow Your Mind, New Rory and Mal, 3 and Out with John Middlekauff and Buried Bones.
“With this partnership we are incredibly excited to offer our members such unmatched variety, and to deliver highly entertaining podcasts featuring some of the world’s most dynamic personalities,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy. “Get ready to dive in with the true crime phenomenon My Favorite Murder, the dynamic perspectives of The Breakfast Club, and the sharp, unfiltered comedy of Chelsea Handler in this initial collection.”
“Audio podcasting has been the fastest-growing medium over the past 20 years, and now we’re thrilled to expand that experience with an exciting new category – video podcasts. Netflix has a leading video-first service, and this partnership perfectly complements our strong audio foundation. Working with Netflix—an important leader in entertainment— gives fans one more way to connect with the personalities they love and opens the door to new audiences, including viewers discovering these shows for the first time,” added Bob Pittman, CEO of iHeartMedia.
‘The Bill Simmons Podcast’ To Run On Netflix As Streamer Strikes Broad Video Deal With Spotify
The move will see shows such as The Bill Simmons Podcast and The Rewatchables air on the streamer and taken down from YouTube.

Netflix is aggressively getting into the video podcasting space after striking a partnership with Spotify.
The deal will see over a dozen shows from Spotify, including The Bill Simmons Podcast and The Ringer Fantasy Football Show, launch on Netflix.
It is the latest move by the streamer to take content, in this case video podcasts, that exists elsewhere and stream it on its service. It comes after Netflix struck deals with Ms. Rachel and Mark Rober, who both found success on YouTube, to bring their programming to the streamer.
The partnership will see Spotify take these shows off YouTube, where they regularly get hundreds of thousands of views.
In April, on its first quarter earnings call, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos, said, “As the popularity of video podcasts grow, I suspect you’ll see some of them find their way to Netflix.”
Last year, Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek said that the number of creators publishing videos on Spotify had grown by more than 50% year-on-year.
This deal will now see Spotify-produced series, from its Spotify Studios and The Ringer, launch on another platform.
Some 16 shows, across sports, culture and true-crime will begin rolling out on Netflix in the U.S. next year.
They include The Bill Simmons Podcast, The Zach Lowe Show, The McShay Show, Fairway Rollin’, The Mismatch, The Ringer F1 Show, The Ringer Fantasy Football Show, The Ringer NFL Show and The Ringer NBA Show, culture and lifestyle shows The Rewatchables, The Big Picture, The Dave Chang Show, The Recipe Club and Dissect and true-crime titles Conspiracy Theories and Serial Killers.
“At Netflix, we’re always looking for new ways to entertain our members, wherever and however they want to watch,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy. “As video podcasts continue to grow in popularity, our partnership with Spotify allows us to bring full video versions of these top shows to both Netflix and Spotify audiences. From pop culture and lifestyle to true crime and sports, this curated selection of video podcasts adds fresh voices and new perspectives to Netflix, making our entertainment lineup more exciting than ever.”
“This partnership marks a new chapter for podcasting,” added Roman Wasenmüller, VP, Head of Podcasts at Spotify. “Together with Netflix, we’re expanding discovery, helping creators reach new audiences and giving fans around the world the chance to experience the stories they love and uncover favorites they never expected. This offers more choice to creators and unlocks a completely new distribution opportunity.”
Netflix probably wants to position video podcasts as the talk shows, arts and culture programs, and sports programs of the digital age. Because making video podcasts is cheaper than making a real talk show or arts and culture program, whether to watch them or not is entirely up to us. I plan to watch podcasts related to TV series and movies if one catches my interest.Netflix is doubling down on video podcasts.‘My Favorite Murder’ & ‘The Breakfast Club’ To Stream On Netflix As Streamer Strikes Latest Video Podcast Deal With iHeartMedia

Interesting. The only thing is I don't exactly go to Netflix for that type of content, kind of similar in reasoning as to why I don't go to Netflix for gaming.
From what I've read, they'll launch it in the US first, then globally.
Damn, I'm not a fan of Netflix forcing exclusive viewing of video podcasts on their site over YouTube. Mind you, I don't listen/watch many podcasts and I don't know if any of the few I do are effected by this decision, but I still think it sucks on principle.
Indeed. I'm still pisssed that the most recent sequel to one of my favorite games (Monument Valley) is only accessible with a Netflix account. The game came out when I wasn't subscribed anymore and I had to rely on my girlfriend's account to access it (...and that was before they really locked down on password sharing). It's a shitty move for those of us who have been paying for the game already.
Yes, but that's not a complete list. I know the Ringer in particular has a huge library and I forget which of my past podcasts were on it.
It's highly likely Netflix hasn't acquired any other podcasts besides those mentioned in the article. Because if they had, they would have turned the platform into a podcast platform. Also, just like they did with the WWE program archives, they will only add a very small portion of the archived episodes of these podcasts.
Exactly what I was thinking. It also reminds me a bit of when E! used to run video of the old (pre-Sirius) Howard Stern radio show
I don't even access Netflix via my phone or tablet, but I'm likely in the minority.
And therein lines part of the problem. Just like its Games, I don't see Netflix having it built-in into its UI. It requires a bit of a rethink in terms of search results and categorization. Something objectively different requires a different category item, but guess what? They did away with categories on the UI level under its newly redesigned UI, and the only way to really get to categories is by search, which is quite a clunky way to do it. In other words, you have to know the categories are there to begin with.
Television is 'like that' too, but phones, tablets, and computers still use the old interface, meaning you can still access the categories.
That's ironic given Netflix's desire to unify the UI across all devices, and that their recent redesign was done to mimic those devices.

I don't either. You just have to have a Netflix account to access those games (or least that's the case for Monument Valley 3).
Interesting graphic. Took a second for me the realized it was the Netflix "N" gobbling up HBO/WB.
Actually it reminded me of the film "Yellow Submarine". A Red Meanie, I guess.
