Red Envelope Entertainment LLC—initially named Netflix First—was a production and distribution division formed by Netflix in 2006. This studio specialized in delivering independent films tailored for Netflix's DVD-by-mail service. Over its operational period, it was responsible for producing and distributing more than 100 titles before ceasing operations in 2008, attributing its closure to competitive pressures from affiliated film studios vying for rights.

In 2012, Netflix recommenced original content creation under its primary brand.
