Premiere of New SHOWTIME Original Series 'United States of Tara' Can Be
Watched Instantly at Netflix 2 Weeks Prior to Telecast Debut

Season Premieres of Network's "The L Word(R)" and "Secret Diary of a Call
Girl" Also Available for Streaming at Netflix

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Netflix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX),
the world's largest online movie rental service, today announced that starting
January 8, the new Showtime Networks original series "United States of Tara,"
starring Academy Award(R) nominee Toni Collette ("Little Miss Sunshine") and
John Corbett ("Sex and the City"), can be watched instantly at Netflix two
weeks in advance of the series' SHOWTIME premiere on Sunday, January 18 (10:00
p.m. PST/EST). In addition, season premieres of the highly-acclaimed SHOWTIME
original series "The L Word(R)" and "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" will be
available to Netflix subscribers on January 18, day and date with their
network debuts.

Building on its 2007 partnership with SHOWTIME for advance viewing of the edgy
comedy series "Californication," Netflix is offering subscribers the chance to
instantly watch current season programs ahead of their telecast premieres.
The new shows, which will be available throughout the month of January, can be
streamed on PCs, Intel-based Macs and TVs connected to any of a number of
Netflix ready devices.

"We're very happy to be working with Netflix to offer their customers a chance
to sample 'United States of Tara' before its January 18 SHOWTIME premiere,"
said Robert Hayes, senior vice president and general manager of Showtime
Networks Digital Group. "They were a great partner in the past and we look
forward to their help in launching this exciting new show for SHOWTIME."

"Netflix is excited to again partner with SHOWTIME to offer our members a
first look at compelling content," said Robert Kyncl, vice president of
content acquisition for Netflix. "The excitement and value that these
high-profile shows bring to the growing library of choices available to watch
instantly at Netflix is appreciated by our members, who are always looking for
new and interesting shows to enjoy."

"UNITED STATES OF TARA" is a new series starring Ms. Collette as Tara, a
suburban wife and mother struggling with DID (dissociative identity disorder)
formerly known as multiple personality disorder. Executive produced by Steven
Spielberg, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, Diablo Cody and Alexa Junge, and
created by Academy Award(R) winning screenwriter Ms. Cody ("Juno"), the series
delves into how a family copes with the various personalities that may appear
on any given day, including "T," a provocative teenager, "Buck," a gun-toting
Vietnam vet and "Alice," a Betty Crocker homemaker who thinks baking is the
answer to all problems. John Corbett co-stars as Max her loving and
supportive husband of 20 years who works hard to keep up with Tara's alters,
while maintaining some sense of normalcy for their teenage children: sarcastic
and rebellious daughter Kate (Brie Larson) and tenderhearted bookworm,
Marshall (Keir Gilchrist). Although they are typical teens, they've learned
to adapt to their mother's unpredictable personalities. The only sticking
point to their living in a state of oblivion is Tara's insecure sister,
Charmaine, played by Rosemarie DeWitt, who holds the crucial key to Tara's
past.
