From "Squid Game" to "Money Heist," fans of Netflix hits can now delve into the music featured in their favorite shows. The streaming giant has partnered with Spotify to create a new hub dedicated to its shows. Whether you're a Free or a Premium Spotify user, there's a variety of content to discover, from playlists to special podcasts.
Even Netflix wants to get into the audio market, it seems. After serving up its series and movies in podcast version, the American giant has launched a new hub on the audio streaming site Spotify, the platform announced, Tuesday, November 23.
To mark the release of the latest season of "Money Heist," Spotify has enhanced the experience on the show's page. Fans will be able to discover new videos from the cast, as well as the official playlist updated with tracks featuring in the latest episodes. The streaming platform has even shared a "Character Match Playlist" quiz to help users find their perfect character and soundtrack match.
According to Spotify, more than 22,500 playlists themed on "Squid Game" have been created since the show's release on Netflix. "It's clear that after the credits roll, viewers are left wanting even more—and they come to Spotify to hear it," the platform said.
In addition to the hit South Korean series, Netflix's latest major movie release, "The Harder They Fall"—starring Regina King and Idris Elba—will be the focus of an "enhanced experience" on Spotify. Listeners will be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the film's soundtrack, as well as exclusive audio liners from artists such as Kid Cudi, Koffee and Ms. Lauryn Hill. Users will be able to access this exclusive content through Canvas, Storylines and playlist Clips.
TV shows have become real trendsetters in recent months, now even influencing the fashion world.
