Netflix is continuing its expansion plans this autumn with three new countries under its belt, Digital Spy reports.

The streaming company has announced that the service will be available in Spain, Portugal and Italy by October this year.

Opening up to three more countries will undoubtedly help Netflix break more records, after it passed the milestone of 60 million subscribers worldwide back in April.

Included in those numbers are 41.4 million customers based in the US and 20.88 million overseas.

Netflix is also trialling a new web-based layout, which is more in line with the user interface on its apps. Currently available to a select group of users, it will debut in full later this month.

The firm recently rubbished rumours that it is planning to introduce third-party advertising.
