Netflix is a global player and while the streaming company doesn’t really reveal its numbers, we know which markets are the biggest and we know which markets account for the most subscribers.
Of course, the U.S. market is the biggest one, which is natural, but you might be surprised that neither the U.K. nor the French markets are the second-biggest, according to analyst data, but rather the Brazilian market, which accounts for roughly 20.6 million paid subscribers.
In light of that, at the recent mega creativity forum Rio2C, Netflix Brazil has revealed several major projects for the local market, but which could also interest global audiences as well.

Directors Fernando Coimbra (“A Wolf at the Door”) and top production houses Gullane (“Senna”), O2 Filmes (“City of God”) and Boutique Filmes (“3%”) feature among 10 new productions announced Monday by Netflix.
The new announcements matter. Netflix does not break out client figures for individual countries. Brazil ranks, however, as its second-biggest market globally with 20.6 million paid subscribers, according to global analyst Omdia estimates. That places it ahead of the U.K. (17.7 million), Germany (17.5 million), and France (14.6 million).
One of Brazil’s biggest challenges is to export its biggest swings. Save for a rare exception like “Senna,” Netflix Brazilian shows are not global plays. Yet some achieve global viewership via Netflix, led in 2024 by “Desperate Lies,” Burning Betrayal,” “Senna” (which bowed Nov. 29), “Bionic” and “Good Morning, Veronica” according to PlumResearch. Further breakouts this year take in “A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054,” “Sintonia,” “Senna,” “Burning Betrayal” and “Stranded with My Mother in Law,...

Mumbai, Aug 15 (Ians) Former India captain and legendary footballer Mohammed Habib, who was once praised by the Brazilian legend Pele himself, passed away in Hyderabad on Tuesday after a long illness. He was 74 and is survived by his wife, four daughters and a son.
Having made his name in Kolkata and lived there for decades, Habib a few years back shifted to Hyderabad and was bedridden for the last year or so as he has been suffering from dementia and Parkinson’s Syndrome. He breathed his last at around 4 pm on Tuesday at his residence in Toli Chowki, Hyderabad.
Born in Hyderabad in undivided Andhra Pradesh on July 17, 1949, Habib represented India for a decade from 1965-75 and was part of the golden generation that won a bronze medal in the 1970 Asian Games in Bangkok — the team led by statemate Syed Nayeemuddin and of which another legend P. K. Banerjee was the manager.
