Breaking Binge: Netflix reveals new details of user's most common movie-TV pairings

Unusual match or the perfect pair? Viewers of American Horror Story are most likely to follow up with Mean Girls.

Just finished streaming all seasons of American Horror Story? Well, new research says that Mean Girls is the next most likely thing you will watch.

Netflix today released details of their users streaming habits, and it has revealed that users are likely to break up their TV bingeing with a movie.

59 per cent of users are likely to take, on average, a two and a half day break between streaming complete seasons of a TV show. During that timeframe, 61 per cent of them will watch a movie.

The company has revealed some of the most common pairings of movies and TV shows, which includes House of Cards and Beasts of No Nation, Jane the Virgin and Clueless, and Arrow and The Fast and the Furious.

"In our ongoing effort to make great programming decisions for our members, we found movies play a unique role in their evolving binge-watching routines," Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said when announcing the findings, according to Variety.

The research was conducted by looking at the viewing habits of 86 million users for the first 10 months of the year.

One third of Netflix's back catalogue includes movies, though the research highlights the lack of big name movies in New Zealand. Many of the films listed, including the likes of Zootopia, are not available here.

New Zealand has just 440 titles to America's 1157, according to Finder.com.

Netflix recently had to defend their selection of movies, responding to remarks that the choices were mediocre by saying that one-third of their audience still watches them anyway.

The company, which launched in New Zealand last year, recently made it so users can download shows and movies to watch offline. It also plans to double the amount of original content it makes in 2017.
