During their quarterly earnings report, streaming giant Netflix announced they had reached 29.17 million domestic subscribers.
The figure means Netflix has finally surpassed HBO, its new rival in original content.
HBO has 28.7 million subscribers, according to the most recent data.
Netflix had a great quarter, adding just over 2 million subscribers, thanks mainly to an upgraded TV catalog and original content like the popular "House of Cards."
On a global scale, HBO is still king, with 114 million subscribers. Netflix only has 36.2 million.
