Clearly, Netflix believes that this will be the main way forward when it comes to keeping current subscribers happy, and trying to continually up those subscriber numbers in the future.
Overall, Netflix increased its European productions this year by 50% from 2018, with 221 total projects, 153 of which are originals, for a budget of well over $1 billion.
Reed Hastings, Netflix co-founder, Chairman and CEO, spoke at the Royal Television Society conference recently (via The Guardian) and confirmed that number as well as the fact that the streamer’s production budget for the UK is second only to the United States.
