Netflix Localizes Polish Service

WARSAW: Netflix has updated its service in Poland, using local language, currency and adding Polish TV shows and movies in addition to Netflix’s original programming.

Hollywood movies, top TV shows, Polish titles, documentaries, independent films, stand-up comedy and a wide range of kids’ titles are now available to watch instantly on Netflix with more than 80 percent of the content dubbed or subtitled in Polish. Netflix series now available with Polish subtitles and dubbing include such hits as House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black, Stranger Things, Narcos, Marvel’s Daredevil and Jessica Jones, and The Get Down, as well as award-winning documentaries Making a Murderer, Winter on Fire and Chef’s Table, and original films such as Adam Sandler’s The Do-Over and Ridiculous 6. Among the Polish titles now on Netflix are comedy special Katarzyna Piasecka and Rafał Pacześ: Seriously Funny; Mariusz Kałamaga, Karol Kopiec, Wiolka Walaszczyk: Hilarious Trio and Karol Modzelewski and Łukasz „Lotek” Lodkowski: No Offense and movies Poklosie and Ile Wazy Kon Tronjanski?.

Netflix also signed an agreement with its first local partner, mobile provider T-Mobile. Netflix and T-Mobile will partner in a consumer promotion later this year, allowing members to pay for Netflix through their T-Mobile account.

“We always knew the Polish people had a big appetite for great entertainment,” said Reed Hastings, co-founder and CEO of Netflix. “Now we know it and we’re delighted to offer a more localized Netflix experience in Poland that will continue to grow with great TV shows and movies from here as well as around the world.”
