Netflix is launching in the Netherlands late 2013, according to the Internet television network’s most recent announcement.

It will make Dutchland the 41st country to enjoy what Netflix boasts as more than one billion hours of TV shows and movie. Subscribers in the Netherlands will also have access to Netflix Original Series like House of Cards and Arrested Development.

There’s no word yet on what the price will be for Netflix.nl, the upcoming official website of Netflix in the Netherlands.

According to the company statement, the online television giant will offer its services for “one low monthly price,” but it did not disclose the price of subscription.

Content and supported devices for the new Netflix website has not been determined as well.

In countries outside the U.S. and Canada where Netflix has been made available, subscribers are able to access content on their desktop computers, tablets, smartphones, game consoles and Internet-connected TVs.

Netflix is already available in 40 countries and has 36 million paying members as of March 31. According to Mashable, the company generated $3.6 billion in revenue in 2012 and $1 billion in the first quarter of 2013.

The company’s expansion to the Netherlands is part of its growth strategy to target international markets.

The New York Time reports that in the video streaming market, Netflix is dominant with a 90 percent share, Hulu Plus and Amazon “are still hardly relevant,” wrote the Times’ Brian Cheng.
