The announcement follows Netflix original House of Cards, which was make available in 4K resolution in April.

"You'll see us license more and more content," Netflix's chief streaming and partnerships officer Greg Peters said.

"So we'll do Breaking Bad, but we'll also do all of the Originals that make sense that have a format or style that benefit from that better video quality."

He added: "It won't be a lot. The whole corpus of content that we have, we're basically talking about either stuff that's new or that's being remastered off of film, which we'll see more and more of. So we'll start small, but get bigger and bigger."

Netflix



The company already has plans to make Orange Is the new Black available in 4K and is testing extras such as cast interviews.

Netflix has predicted that it will take around five years for Ultra HD 4K to reach the mainstream.

Speaking at CES In January, CEO Reed Hastings confirmed that 4K content would be available on a number of manufacturers' television sets, including Ultra HD TVs from LG and Sony.
