I think one of the best parts about a Netflix subscription is the ability to access any number of amazing content from all over the world with just one click. Putting Netflix Spanish-language series like Money HeistTo a lesser extent, Narcos (which has a fair amount of English speakers in it) on par with the never-ending stream of shows emanating from Netflix’s home country. It’s this kind of thing, alone, that makes Netflix’s extremely modest price increases more than worth it. At least, as far as I’m concerned.
Whether you appreciate it or not, though, the fact of the matter is that there’s a massive global audience that devours Netflix content. So much so, that the latest most-watched data the streamer put out on Tuesday shows Spanish-language TV shows utterly dominating one of Netflix’s new Top 10 lists for the week.
Netflix Spanish and international series
Of the 10 most-watched Netflix shows globally, according to the streamer’s newly released Top 10 data? The non-English chart featured four shows that were Spanish-language. These shows accounted to a staggering 159.8million hours of video viewed all over the globe.
It’s a reminder that there’s an extra benefit from streamers investing in localized and non-English language content around the world. Local audiences are eager to see authentic programming that is rooted in the stories and places they live. These shows can be used worldwide. Not to mention the millions of Spanish-speaking people worldwide who can watch all of the Netflix Spanish series. You can find them in many different countries.
