This Arty Netflix Campaign Sells You on the Shows You Didn’t Know You’d Love

Netflix's Magno Herran explains why it's celebrating the titles people stumble on after completing big shows like 'Stranger Things'

A vampire, an axolotl, and an astronaut just walked into Netflix‘s cinematic campaign, which is focused on the unexpected shows people become obsessed with after finishing the streamer’s greatest hits.

“Find the Thing You Never Knew You Needed,” created by Netflix’s in-house brand creative studio and Mother London, launches today (Nov. 10) in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and Spain.

At its heart are three hero films. The first shows an Axolotl who becomes the most popular amphibian in the tank after keeping a “Bridgerton” marathon alive using his feet. Another shows a lonely astronaut waking his crewmate from hypersleep to talk about “K-pop Demon Hunters.”
