Now, Netflix has announced its commitment to bring its original content to the Middle East, especiallyin Egypt where it was introduced in 2016. Consumer PR of EMEA and Netflix spokesperson in the Middle East Leyla Guilany-Lyard speaks to Egypt Today about binge-watching trends in Egypt and the Middle East and Netflix’s plans for the region.Yes, people in the Middle East have that culture. This is because audiences in the Middle East really like entertainment, so they do not go for only one show genre. Therefore, Netflix offers up comedy in the morning.There is something very specific to people in the Middle East that I love, that is that they enjoy standup comedies. That’s why we have recently announced that Netflix will have a first local production in the Middle East with Lebanese comedian Adel Karam performing his stand-up comedy.Despite the existence of Netflix in 190 countries, it was only accessed in 60 countries.
