Orange & Netflix Strengthen Ties

Orange and Netflix have renewed their agreement for the distribution of the streaming service to Orange TV customers in France and have expanded their partnership to all countries in which the Orange Group is present.

This partnership will enable Orange Group’s subsidiaries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East to distribute Netflix in the future. Orange has been a Netflix distributor in France since 2014 and in Spain in recent months. Netflix will be offered to Orange Poland customers in the coming months as part of its TV offers. Other launches will follow in 2018.

“We want to offer the best content to our customers,” said Stéphane Richard, the chairman and CEO of Orange. “That is why we were the first to distribute Netflix in France, starting in October 2014, and this new agreement allows us to strengthen our ambition at the international level.”

Reed Hastings, Netflix’s CEO, said, “This partnership builds on our strong relationship with Orange in France, offering in the future, the possibility for millions of our customers in multiple countries to enjoy the world’s leading internet entertainment service seamlessly, in one place.”
