The first, the David Fincher-produced, Kevin Spacey-starring House of Cards, is slated to debut sometime this year. In addition, Netflix also has distribution rights to the Norwegian-American drama Lilyhammer and fresh episodes of Arrested Develoment due out in 2013. Bloomberg reports that Orange is the New Black and another recent deal, for Eli Roth’s Hemlock Grove, could be announced as early as next week. No release dates have been announced for the new series, but Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos told the publication that the service would have five original series available for streaming by mid-2013.
