Business Insider published an article about Netflix's renewal process:

> The company also factors in how many viewers might tune in and how the title will perform across other regions of the world — the latter being a crucial component, given Netflix's international ambitions.

> That can be particularly useful when assessing whether to acquire certain IP, said a third former Netflix exec.

> The question of whether to renew a series for an additional season is where discussions can get "contentious," said the third insider.

> Hits like "Bridgerton" or "The Witcher" are no-brainers. But "any other show on the service is a fight," this person said, adding that even shows that repeatedly hit Netflix's Top 10 list may not garner the viewing hours or completion rates considered high enough for the CS&A researchers to offer a recommendation to renew. This can sometimes spur a difference of opinion between show execs and data analysts, particularly on shows that have smaller audiences but speak to underrepresented audiences, this person said.

> At Netflix, said the exec, "the bar is so, so high."
