The offering is expected to close Friday.
The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Netflix. Interest will be payable semiannually at a rate of 8.5 percent per year on May 15 and Nov. 15.
Netflix plans to use the proceeds to repay all outstanding amounts under and terminate its credit agreement, and for possible future stock buybacks and general corporate purchases.
Netflix shares added 15 cents to $53.94 in afternoon trading.
