You are lucky: Netflix offers it
If you are lucky, Netflix offers Arabic subs in your country. You can check if there is Arabic audio/subtitles available by clicking on this link: http://www.netflix.com/browse/audio/AR/
There is a work-around: Use a google chrome extension
This always works not matter where you live. It is completely free and legal.
You need to use Chrome as a browser and follow these steps:
Step 1: Download the extension Super Netflix from the Chrome Webstore
Click HERE to download it for free!
Step 2: Go to Netflix
Now you should see some extra symbols on the right side of your screen.
Step 3: You need to download the files for the subtitles
They are available at www.subflicks.com
For example – search for: arabic stranger things. Hint: Always add arabic to your search string to find it quickly.
–> Download the file for the episode you want to watch.
Step 4: Got to Netflix and choose the TV series and episode you want to watch
Step 5: Now click on the first symbol (sign of a comment with three circles) on the right side of your screen
This will open a window. Go to the folder where you downloaded the subtitle file and choose it.

For many (I’d say almost all popular TV series) there are ARABIC subtitles available on subflicks.com:
- Breaking Bad
- Orange is the New Black
- Stranger Things
- Fargo
- How to get away with murder
By the way – this also works for other languages such as Hebrew, Russian, or Mandarin Chinese.
Do you know any better justification for binge-watching than saying that you are actually studying Arabic? 😉
Remark There are other benefits if you install Super Netflix:- Change video bit rate (higher quality speed).
- Skip intro automatically.
- Five modes to change brightness, saturation, and contrast
- Change Netflix streaming server (if streaming is slow)
- Control volume with the mouse wheel.

Dear,
Compliments for this fantastic website!
I was curious if there are Arabic series available, which offer Arabic subtitles with it. For example, my favorite show is سجن النساء, yet understanding every word as a Dutch native is hard! I reckoned that hearing and reading the text would help a lot in my progress. Any idea?
Best,
Mina
I doubt you’ll find that, as almost all Arabic productions don’t care for the subtitles, and also, the production is usually in a local dialect, not the standard Arabic (fus’ha)…
You can also watch Hindi movies & series with Arabic subs free.
