Consumption of cross-border stories. Narcos, Money Heist, Squid Games, and likes have triggered a strong trend. As much as audiences want local stories, they are also consuming more and more content from other countries. Audiences have expanded their choices beyond Hollywood. Series backed by strong stories and strong performance are seeing increasing demand.
