Netflix Opens New Warsaw Office, Co-CEO Greg Peters Encourages Development of Poland’s Tech and Content Hub
According to the CinemaDrame News Agency, Netflix officially opened its new office in Warsaw on Monday, ten years after launching its streaming service in Poland. The office has been introduced as Netflix’s only technology hub outside the United States and as the “creative team driving the company’s ambitious content slate in Central and Eastern Europe.”
Located in the heart of the city, the new office hosts 300 employees in content and engineering, alongside teams in marketing, global operations, communications, finance, and human resources. Netflix opened its first office in Poland in 2022, followed by the launch of its dedicated tech hub the following year. The company stated: “Since then, Netflix’s engineering presence in Warsaw has expanded significantly, and the team will continue to grow in the coming years with increased focus on infrastructure, video games, and production technology.”
Greg Peters, Netflix co-CEO, who traveled to Warsaw for the office opening, said: “I’m proud of what we’ve achieved in Poland over the past decade. Poland hosts outstanding creative talent, and together with our partners, we’ve brought some of the country’s best stories to audiences across Central and Eastern Europe. At the same time, our engineers here are creating cutting-edge innovations that support the process of producing, managing, and delivering films and series to over half a billion people worldwide. We’re excited to expand our presence in Poland and look forward to the future.”
Netflix’s content slate in Poland for 2026 includes films such as The Doll (a fresh take on a Polish classic), Less of a Stranger (a biopic of Polish rock legend Jan Borysewicz), and Anesthesia (Netflix’s first Polish medical drama). The lineup also features the third season of the popular comedy 1670 and the first Polish edition of Love Is Blind.
Netflix has stated that since launching in Poland in 2016, it has produced or licensed over 700 films and series. “Since then, the list of original Polish productions has grown to over 80 titles. Netflix has collaborated with more than 40 production companies, created over 5,000 jobs for cast and crew, and provided 14,000 roles for extras and daily assistants, contributing more than 3 billion Polish zloty ($800 million) to the country’s GDP.”
Netflix’s first original title in Poland, 1983, was a conspiracy thriller directed in part by Agnieszka Holland. Since then, popular works such as the comedy 1670 by young writer Kuba Rojillo, the film Forgotten Love based on a well-known Polish cultural work, the dramas Heweliusz and High Water from the creative team of Jan Holoubek, Kasper Bajon, and Anna Kepinska, as well as the action thriller Inside Furioza, have been added to the lineup. Netflix noted: “These works have been highly acclaimed by both local and global audiences, with over 60 Polish titles appearing in the weekly top 10 non-English shows in film and television worldwide.”
Netflix has also invested in skill and talent development programs with partners such as the Polish Producers Alliance, the Polish Film Institute, the New Horizons Association, and the Łódź Film School, covering more than 1,300 participants.
