What happened
Netflix and Brazilian media giant Globo announced the largest content licensing agreement ever signed between the two companies. Starting in December, 18 Globo original productions — 14 films, three telenovelas and one series — will roll out on Netflix, dubbed and subtitled in multiple languages, with releases continuing through mid-2027. The package centers on Walter Salles' 'I'm Still Here,' the 2025 Academy Award winner for Best International Feature (licensed for Brazil only), plus the Fernanda Montenegro film 'Vitoria' (worldwide), the Emmy-winning telenovela 'India - A Love Story' (U.S. and Latin America ex-Brazil), and all seven seasons of the comedy 'Vai Que Cola' (Brazil exclusive). Netflix stock was roughly flat overnight after the announcement.
