Netflix is planning its largest-ever lineup of South Korean content, with 34 new and returning titles set to roll out this year.
The streaming giant made the announcement Tuesday. It said that audience data showed “over 60% of all Netflix members” watched Korean titles last year. The nearly three dozen new programs include a range of television series and films, which run the gamut from thrillers to dramas. The company declined to disclose how much it planned to spend. In 2021, company executives said Netflix\n \n planned to invest about $500 million into Korean content, on top of $700 million already spent since 2016.
” One of those shows is “Squid Game,” which shows contestants playing deadly children’s games to win cash prizes. The survival drama became the company’s top show worldwide in 2021. Last year, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo,” a series that followed titular character Woo Young-woo as “a newbie at a top law firm and a woman on the autism spectrum,” also shot to the top of the streaming platform’s charts for several weeks.
