Hello all,

With Netflix slowly releasing more and more original content do we think we could see a new soap opera released on the format?

I'd love a new soap!

    I think that if netflix were to do a soap it would probably have seasons with a certain amount of episodes like between 12 and 22 rather than something like EastEnders or Hollyoaks with 4 to 5 episodes 52 weeks a year.

    Yeah I imagine it would be more in line with shows like dynasty, Dallas, Melrose place etc maybe a 22 episode run.

    The trailer for their next show 'Hemlock Grove' looks good.

    I don't know if it'll work. That being said, I can't wait for the new series of Arrested Development. That's being done through netflix.

    With US soaps One Life To Live and All My Children premièring on Hulu and iTunes this April in the US, I did think Netflix would be a good place to start their own soap, especially with all their other new online content. They'd have to have decent financial backing though, as producing a soap is mighty expensive.
