"If Disney or Comcast or anyone else comes up with something with a similar subscriber profile it will make it that much harder," Portell said.
Netflix has already announced plans to spend up to $8 billion on content in 2018.
The company`s catalog currently consists of a few buzzy shows, a handful of potential breakout hits and "a whole lot of clutter," Portell points out.
Additionally, Netflix has cut ties with "House of Cards" star Kevin Spacey following multiple allegations of sexual harassment against the actor.
Everything is getting more expensive.
Amazon is producing original content, and Apple and Facebook are also getting into the game.
HBO isn`t going anywhere, and AMC has its share of hits.
Fox, Disney, Comcast and Time Warner are all co-owners of Hulu.
