Netflix has recently added Spanish-language shows on its service in the US. And the company says American subscribers are loving it.
"We've licensed a lot of programming from Latin America into the US, and are getting incredible viewing," Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said in a call with shareholders today. "Shows that are successful for us in Mexico are now drawing huge numbers for us in the US."
Netflix has been able to reach a new demographic of users in the US, Sarandos says, by offering shows that originate in Latin America—and can assess what kinds of other content these users might find interesting. "We're getting hundreds of thousands of hours a day on single shows," Sarandos adds.
I started watching a Mexican program to keep up with my kids who are in dual-language kindergarten at school. Regrettably the plot advances at the snail's pace of all soap operas. Can any Soylentils recommend Spanish language shows on Netflix for our crowd?
