Support for Netflix requires EME (Encrypted Media Extensions), MSE (Media Source Extensions) and H.264 video codec support. The first two of these are in progress. MSE can be enabled in nightly builds by turning on the media.mediasource.enabled setting if you are adventurous. This will result in YouTube’s HTML5 player using MSE to play videos using WebM for example.
If you search Bugzilla for EME, MSE and MP4 in the video/audio component you’ll see relevant bugs for these projects.

Is there a roadmap on when do we plan to have these implemented?
More importantly, Chrome not only has EME but has a Google-proprietary Netflix-supported Widevine DRM component. EME is just a way for JS to talk with Widevine.
We are not ready to announce a timeline for EME + Adobe Access DRM. “When it’s ready.” Which is likely at different times for different operating systems. We have not made any announcements about the compatibility of EME-flavored Adobe Access with any particular service.
