EXCLUSIVE: Netflix’s Director of Local Language Originals for the CEE, Anna Nagler, has outlined the streamer’s ambitions in region, as its biggest drama series from the region, High Water, launches globally today.
In an exclusive interview, Nagler said the streamer’s “doors are open” to creatives and their ideas in Central and Eastern Europe, as Netflix pushes into original shows from international territories despite the company’s well-documented stock price drop this year.
This comes after Netflix opened its regional CEE office in Poland this year. Since launching in Poland in 2016, the SVoD player has claimed to have invested more than 490M PLN ($115M) on original films and series such as erotic movie franchise 365 Days in the country, creating more than 2,600 jobs across the production sector in 2020 and 2021.
“Opening the Warsaw office was important but also we’re getting closer to the creative community in general,” Nagler told Deadline.
Her comments aped the tone EMEA series chief Larry Tanz took last week in an exclusive interview with Deadline when he said a previous international content approach of “’Hollywood comes to you’ has changed.”
“There’s an incredibly rich history of storytelling here,” said Nagler. “Our goal at Netflix is support our creative producers, scriptwriters and directors to help them bring their stories to life. My job is to listen to them, share our Netflix vision and put those two things together to bring the story to life.”
Her highest profile commission to date is six-part disaster drama High Water, which tells the story of the Millennium Flood that hit Poland and parts of Czech Republic and Germany in 1997 and took 114 lives. Directed by Jan Holoubek and Bartłomiej Ignaciuk, it

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor After two straight quarters of subscriber losses, Netflix returned to growth in the third quarter of 2022 — and told investors it’s expecting a strong Q4 to finish the year, even though it doesn’t expect big gains right away from the launch of its cheaper, ad-supported plans. The streaming giant reported 2.41 million net new paid subscribers in Q3, including a gain of 100,000 in the U.S./Canada region, to stand at 223.1 million worldwide as of the end of September. That handily topped Netflix’s previous forecast of a 1 million pickup for the period. For Q4, Netflix expects to gain 4.5 million new streaming customers, compared with 8.3 million in the year-earlier quarter. Netflix Basic With Ads is slated to launch in the U.S. on Nov. 3 and priced at $6.99 per month — three dollars less than the regular Basic plan. Similar ad tiers are also coming next month to 11 other countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain and the U.K.
