Netflix has big plans for 2015 originals

House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black have made big splashes for Netflix, winning fans, critical raves, Emmy nominations and new customers. And the New Year brings a more accelerated stream of original series to the service's 53 million worldwide subscribers.
If 2013 was a "toe in the water" and 2014 was a development year, 2015 "brings us about halfway to our hopes and plans of what kind of projects are feasible," says Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos, who will detail these plans to TV critics Wednesday. "We can successfully support about 20 original scripted series every year, with a new series or a new season every two to three weeks, and still maintain a level of quality we expect."
