Netflix
The most famous streaming company in the world. It has a total of 208 million subscribers, and it does not stop growing, since the figures are not recorded every week but only a few times a year.
Most likely, they have several million more by now.
Most of the successful series of each year come from this platform, which includes among these successes La Casa de Papel, Sky Rojo, Elite and the most recent one that represented a world boom, dethroning all the others with a single season: The Game of the Squid.
Netflix's momentum is due not only to its content; In the marketing area he also has an excellent performance, inaugurating a statue of Nairobi and Bogotá (characters from La Casa de Papel) in a park in Colombia, or doing riddles in a city to generate suspense.
Amazon Prime
With a large investment and series that include classics and successes of the history, such as the upcoming premiere of the Lord of the Rings series, Amazon Prime follows Netflix closely, showing a figure of 200 million subscribers.

Among the most successful series that boosted the image of HBO to obtain this position, is the exclusive transmission of the Game of Thrones series, a true phenomenon among the series of the moment.
Tubi
Although it is an alternative space to the previous options, with different programming and without great global weight, this company that was born from the giant FOX, already has more than 34 million subscribers.
Discovery
Its figure of 15 million is low in relation to the giants, but Discovery has the advantage of having an audience that is very loyal to its brand with respect to the themes they handle best: documentaries and all historical issues.
We can see how Discovery exploits its dominance of this segment by also showing series that are linked to real historical characters and moments, it does not give them to compete with Netflix and Amazon, but they strengthen their firm base of followers and subscribers.
