Canal+ will become the first operator to bundle Netflix in 24 Sub-Saharan African countries starting July, expanding access to hit global series and African originals for millions of subscribers through a joint offer; the deal builds on a successful partnership in France and Poland and marks Netflix’s first such agreement in the region.

The news comes during a time of major shifts at Amazon, both in the U.S. and overseas. Studio head Jennifer Salke recently left the company, shortly after international originals chief James Farrell and UK managing director Chris Bird also stepped down.

Original series releases dropped from 395 in 2022 to 279 in 2024, while legacy hits like “Grey’s Anatomy” drew over two billion global viewing hours. In Q3 2023, licensed content overtook originals in viewing share across major platforms.

Under the MoU, Globo and Telemundo will collaborate on the development and co-production of original films and series to be released as Globoplay Originals in Brazil and across Telemundo’s broadcast and streaming platforms in the U.S.

Company bets on a diversified portfolio with telenovelas, formats, and Globoplay Originals.
