Netflix is a global streaming entertainment service offering ad-free, unlimited viewing focused on movies and TV series. Netflix is present in 190 countries to over 209 million members. Content is offered in over 30 languages, and the brand continues to explore the next language to launch.

Despite this broad language offering, UK consumer appetite for non-English language titles has historically been low. However recently this has started to change, with Netflix titles such as Squid Game (Korean), Lupin (French), and La Casa De Papel (Spanish) becoming huge hits all around the world, including the UK (see the brief pack for an example of how Netflix used the Euros 2021 as a cultural conversation hook).

Netflix believes that great stories are universal. The increasing impact of foreign language content on pop culture is undeniable; an Oscar for Parasite, a sold-out Wembley stadium for BTS, searches for currency conversion calculators for WON are skyrocketing, and white Vans are this year’s must-have Halloween accessory.

Netflix is leading the way in globalizing the entertainment business, providing a platform for people from more than 190 countries to watch stories from all over the world. They want to show members around the world that great content can come from anywhere, and be loved by anyone. They also believe more people should see their lives reflected on screen – and more voices should have the chance to be heard.
