Netflix is going global with its first expansion outside the US, taking its streaming-only service to Canada “this fall,” according to a recent press release.

Canadian Netflix will allow users to watch movies and TV episodes instantly from their TVs “via a range of consumer electronics devices capable of streaming from Netflix,” and on PCs and Macs. Netflix has yet to officially announce any Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii involvement, though a representative told Joystiq, “We’re not announcing the Netflix ready devices until the service launches, but it’s fair to assume that several popular, brand name devices will be capable of streaming from Netflix to TVs at launch – in addition to the ability to watch instantly on computers — and that we’ll add to the family of devices over time.”

The Canadian service will be available in English with the addition of a French language capability over time.

Canadians can head to www.netflix.ca for an email update when the service launches in the fall.
