Spanish cinema in the netflix catalog: A diversity perspective

Abstract

The arrival of the multinational Netflix has had a strong impact in all markets. This article analyses the diversity of its catalog in Spain using the results of two catalog stills taken in November 2018 and July 2019. In addition, these data are compared with those of the main international svod platforms operating in Spain (HBO, Amazon Prime Video and Rakuten TV) and with those of the platforms of Spanish origin (Movistar+, Filmin and FlixOlé). The work draws conclusions that are not very encouraging regarding the diversity of Spanish cinema in the Netflix catalog.
