The global success of Netflix's Korean drama 'Squid Game' illustrates the growing strength of non-English-language programming worldwide.
Across Europe, still the largest international television market, there is a shift away from U.S. imports towards more home-grown fare, a trend that has been intensified by Hollywood giants, including Disney, WarnerMedia and ViacomCBS, which are pulling back their top films and series from partner broadcasters internationally to put on their own in-house streaming services.
“Our goal is to repatriate that content and bring it back home. We build these brands and we want to leverage them to ourselves, rather than other platforms,” said Doug Craig senior vp of content strategy for ViacomCBS Networks international’s streaming division, in a MIPCOM keynote talk on strategy at Paramount+, the studio’s new streaming platform. Currently in 25 markets, Paramount+ is set to launch in 45 additional territories next year, including a roll-out across Europe.
Surveying television programming, excluding global streamers, across 11 major European territories, Mediametrie found the bulk of shows — some 61 percent — were local, with only 35 percent imported. Viewing times were even more skewed, with local programming accounting for fully 70 percent of viewing, with just 5 percent allotted to imported series. While the global streamers are becoming more international, international networks are becoming more and more local.
“For local producers, the aim now is to build a local hit and then to sell the format internationally for adaptations,” noted Mediametrie vp Frédéric Vaulpré.may be among the offerings at this year’s MIPCOM, which featured its most cosmopolitan and diverse slate of shows ever., a family epic from Japan’s Wowow, based on a book by Toyoko Yamasaki took the 2021 Mipcom Buyers’ Award as the series most likely to connect to international audiences.
