5 things Netflix needs to do to fend off competition from Disney and Apple streaming services in 2019

If 2018 is considered the year Netflix finally became a brand to reckon with in the film business, 2019 might just be the year that goes down as the one that saw Netflix's virtual dominance of the streaming content sphere take a huge hit.

Daredevil was cancelled by Netflix and is widely tipped to be rebooted by Disney.
