Netflix optrapper satsningen på lokalt indhold og har præsenteret 10 nye europæiske produktioner. Selskabet forventer at frigive over 100 tv-serier og film fra Europa, Afrika og Mellemøsten i år.
Mere lokalt indhold
Den verdensomspændende streamingtjeneste skal byde på mere end Hollywood-indhold. Det var budskabet på selskabets årlige See What's Next-konference i Rom.
Her fortalte man, at der er over 100 projekter på 16 forskellige sprog fra EMEA-regionen i støbeskeen. Det er næsten dobbelt så mange som sidste år.
- “Vores overbevisning er at god storytelling krydser grænser. Når historier fra forskellige lande, sprog og kulturer finder en verdensomspændende platform, hvor de eneste grænser, der stilles op, er skabernes fantasi, så opstår der unikke og universelle fortællinger, som det globale publikum tager til sig,” sagde Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer hos Netflix.
Der blev på konferencen annonceret 10 nye europæiske produktioner: 7 originale serier - The first Dutch (Holland), Mortel (Frankrig), The Wave (Tyskland), Luna Nera (Italien) og La Casa de Papel Part 3 (Spanien), The English Game (UK) og Turn Up Charlie (UK), 1 spillefilm - Rimetti a Noi i Nostri Debiti (Italy) - og 2 dokumentarer – en fransk doku-serie og The Staircase (en fransk produktion, indspillet i USA).
Selskabet har på det seneste været på charmeoffensiv efter flere europæiske lande, herunder Danmark, har været ude og sige, at de overvejer at pålægge indholdskvoter på amerikanske streamingtjenester. Den opgave kan man løfte uden regulering, synes budskabet at være.
