This is why Apple TV+ is making so many non-English series
Wednesday February 26, 2025. 10:00 PM , from Mac Daily News
German-language series “Berlin ER” premieres Wednesday, February 26th on Apple TV+.
Netflix recently unveiled its latest biannual report, detailing the most popular shows and movies from the latter half of 2024. One notable standout could shed light on why Apple TV+ has been heavily focusing on global, non-English content recently. Ryan Christoffel for 9to5Mac: One key highlight from the latest Netflix viewership report helps explain a recent Apple TV+ trend. Per Netflix: “Nearly a third of all viewing on Netflix came from non-English shows and films” That’s a pretty huge chunk of a really big Netflix viewership pie. Additionally, three of Netflix’s 10 most viewed shows during the period were also non-English—headlined by Squid Game season 2. Apple TV+, meanwhile, is a much smaller player at the moment, but it’s recently been ramping up non-English projects too. Just since September, Apple TV+ has debuted: • Berlin ER, a German hospital drama • Love You to Death, a Spanish romantic comedy • You Would Do It Too, a Spanish crime thriller • Where’s Wanda?, a German dark comedy • Midnight Family, a Spanish medical drama • La Maison, a French fashion drama MacDailyNews Take: of course, there’s also one Apple TV+ series which we’ve long recommended, the bilingual Spanish and English comedy Acapulco which debuted back on October 8, 2021 and landed another renewal last August. The award-winning series returns for fourth season later this year. We are currently about 1/4th of the way to being sustainable with Substack subscriptions.
