Par for the course, Netflix isn’t going to spend all that money creating 700 different independently handled U.S.-originated projects.
According to David Wells, around 80 of those 700 shows and films will be internationally produced, with the critical and viewer acclaim of Germany’s Dark and the co-produced U.K. dark comedy The End of the F***ing World, among others, serving as guiding lights of confidence.
As the company’s global growth continues without any sign of halting, Netflix’s execs have also broadened the number of countries they’re working with to develop and license programming that, without Netflix’s involvement, would otherwise go unseen by everyone else around the world.
