> Here's what they should've done: create studios to make independent localized content for particular languages. Have a studio in Spain (and probably Mexico) producing Spanish-language TV aimed specifically at Spanish speakers. The indepedent part cannot be ovverstressed. That's what they did. Although I don't know how independent the Spanish studio is. > News of expansion at Netflix’s Madrid studio complex, launched in April 2019 as its first European Production Hub, comes just a week after Netflix held an online roadshow to unveil seven new projects – movies, series and reality shows – including “If Only,” a Spanish adaptation of the canceled Netflix Turkish original. Covering the next few months, the new project announcement suggested that Netflix has now achieved an unprecedented level of production in Spain that makes it one of the biggest investors in Spanish series and films in the country. Netflix has released more than 50 titles made in Spain since 2016 and participated in more than 70 films from the time of its first original movie, “7 Years,” released in 2016. It has worked with over 35 independent production houses and has created 7,500 jobs for casts and crews. This year’s current productions are expected to hire over 1,500 professionals and create over 21,000 days of work for extras, Netflix estimated. https://variety.com/2021/streaming/global/netflix-spain-studios-expansion-1234957707/ https://variety.com/2021/streaming/global/netflix-spain-stud...
