Early next year, select video podcasts from Spotify Studios and The Ringer will debut on Netflix, broadening their reach beyond traditional podcast platforms. The collaboration will feature content across sports, culture, lifestyle, and true crime, including The Bill Simmons Podcast, The Rewatchables, and Serial Killers.
Launching initially in the US in early 2026, the partnership aims to expand to other markets later. Netflix VP Lauren Smith highlighted the rising popularity of video podcasts, while Spotify VP Roman Wasenmüller emphasized the opportunity for creators to reach new audiences while retaining control.
The move reflects a shift toward multi-format, visual podcast content, providing audiences with new ways to engage and discover shows.
