Exclusive: Netflix’s Director of Local Language Originals for the Cee, Anna Nagler, has outlined the streamer’s ambitions in region, as its biggest drama series from the region, High Water, launches globally today.

In an exclusive interview, Nagler said the streamer’s “doors are open” to creatives and their ideas in Central and Eastern Europe, as Netflix pushes into original shows from international territories despite the company’s well-documented stock price drop this year.

This comes after Netflix opened its regional Cee office in Poland this year. Since launching in Poland in 2016, the SVoD player has claimed to have invested more than 490M Pln (115M) on original films and series such as erotic movie franchise 365 Days in the country, creating more than 2,600 jobs across the production sector in 2020 and 2021.

“Opening the Warsaw office was important but also we’re getting closer to the creative community in general,” Nagler told Deadline.

"Is it a second home, or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!?" Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a quirky, fun new crime comedy mini-series titled The Green Glove Gang, from Polish filmmaker Tadeusz Śliwa. One of many new projects made in Poland for Netflix as one of their local content offerings. When their latest heist goes wrong, three older female burglars evade officials by hiding out in a nursing home — where they uncover a sinister secret. These three noble thieves – Zuza, Kinga and Alicja – continuing their conniving ways at the nursing home, giving its elderly residents a chance for a second youth. The series stars Magdalena Kuta, Małgorzata Potocka, & Anna Romantowska, with Beata Bandurska, Karolina Rzepa, Mirosław Zbrojewicz, Andrzej Grabowski. I was sold from the title, but this looks like some kooky & mischievous fun! Seems like something that could break out and find audiences outside of Poland. ›››
