What's available

Netflix Germany gives you access to a solid library of international and local content. You can stream popular originals like Stranger Things, Wednesday, The Crown, Squid Game, and Ozark. German-language originals are a genuine strength here — Dark, Barbarians, and How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) are all available and worth your time. Hollywood films like The Irishman, Bird Box, and Extraction are also in the library.

What you're missing

Compared to the US library, Germany's Netflix catalogue has some notable gaps. Several popular titles are unavailable due to regional licensing restrictions, including:

  • The Office (US version)
  • Parks and Recreation
  • Schitt's Creek
  • It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
  • Suits
  • American Horror Story

The US library consistently holds around 5,000–6,000 titles, while Germany typically sits closer to 4,000, meaning you're missing a meaningful chunk of films and series at any given time.

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you route your connection through a server in another country, making Netflix think you're browsing from there. To access the US library, connect to a US server before opening Netflix. For the UK library, connect to a UK server. Our primary recommendation is NordVPN — it reliably unblocks Netflix across multiple regions and maintains fast speeds for HD and 4K streaming. Simply install the app, select a US server, and reload Netflix.

Pricing

Netflix in Germany offers three plans billed in euros:

  • Standard with ads: approximately €4.99/month
  • Standard: approximately €13.99/month
  • Premium: approximately €19.99/month

Pricing is subject to change, so check Netflix.com for the latest rates in your region.

Our recommendation

Netflix Germany is a capable streaming service with strong German originals and most of the big international hits, but if you want the full experience — especially classic US sitcoms and a broader film catalogue — you'll want a VPN in your toolkit. Connect through NordVPN to a US server and you'll unlock thousands of additional titles instantly. For the price of one coffee per month, NordVPN removes the most frustrating limitation of regional streaming and gives you full value from your Netflix subscription.
