Growing Demand For Non-English Series, Films

Audiences in the U.S. are clamoring for stories from around the world.

From South Korea’s “Squid Game” to France’s “Lupin” and Spain’s “Money Heist,” audiences in the U.S. are clamoring for stories from around the world. 

Ron Han: “It's one of those things where it feels new. And that's exciting for U.S. pop culture, it was like when ‘Gangnam Style’ became really popular.” 

The growing popularity of international and non-english programming has a lot to do with the rise of global streaming platforms and most notably Netflix.
