20 original French content "more" in 2020. This is the Netflix project, announced by its PDF Reed Hastings in the columns of L'Express this Thursday. Or about as much as what has been done in five years (25 French productions).
The investment in production should represent more than "100 million euros in 2020". "We are therefore becoming a major French producer and no longer just a machine for exporting American content," says Reed Hastings.
6.7 million subscribers in France
"Today, with 6.7 million subscribers in France and the good performance of certain French productions, both inside and outside the borders, the moment seemed to us opportune to open a subsidiary" , continues the PDF. Netflix has also inaugurated this week a new French headquarters in Paris.
Some of these 20 new contents are already known, like the The Eddy series, directed by Damien Chazelle with Leïla Bekhti and Tahar Rahim, or Vampires , with Oulaya Amamra. The films Balle perdue (Ramzy Bedia and Nicolas Duvauchelle) and La Terre et le sang (Julien Leclercq) are also expected.
This information on the French projects of Netflix comes out soon after it was learned by AFP this Wednesday that the Minister of Culture Franck Riester intends to require that streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon invest 25% of their turnover made in France in French and European productions.
