From a supernatural drama set in Jordan to a Turkish series called “The Protector,” Netflix is nearly doubling its film production in Europe, the Middle East and Africa — with over 100 projects originating in the region in 2018.
The US-headquartered company said regional film production now spans 16 countries — including Lebanon, Turkey and Israel — with 35,000 people working on local productions. These include “Mortel” from France, “The Wave” from Germany and comedy “Turn Up Charlie,” starring Idris Elba.
