Netflix formally opened and inaugurated a new Warsaw office on Monday, 10 years after first launching its streaming service in Poland. “Including Netflix’s only technology hub outside of the United States, this new office brings world-class technical and creative talent together under one roof: the engineers who design and build products used across Netflix’s global ecosystem, and the creative team driving its ambitious Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) content slate,” the streaming giant said.
Located in the heart of the city, the new office houses 300 staff across content and engineering, as well as marketing, global affairs, communications, finance, and talent. Netflix opened its first Poland office in 2022, with its dedicated technology hub established the following year. “Since then, Netflix’s engineering footprint in Warsaw has grown significantly, and the team will continue to expand over the coming years with additional focus on infrastructure, gaming and production technology,” the company said.
“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved in Poland over the last decade,” said Greg Peters, co‑CEO of Netflix, who traveled to Warsaw for the opening of the new office. “Poland is home to 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 building cutting‑edge innovation, supporting how films and series are made, managed and delivered to more than half a billion people worldwide. We’re excited to expand our presence in Poland and can’t wait for what comes next.”
Netflix’s 2026 Polish slate includes The Doll, a fresh adaptation of a Polish classic, Less of a Stranger, a biopic of Polish rock legend Jan Borysewicz, and Anesthesia, Netflix’s first Polish medical procedural drama. Also on tap is the third season of hit comedy 1670, as well as the first Polish edition of Love Is Blind.

Netflix shared on Monday that since its launch in the country in 2016, it has produced and licensed more 700 films and series in Poland. “Since then, the Polish slate has grown to include more than 80 original productions,” it said. “Contributing more than 3 billion Polish złoty ($800 million) to Poland’s GDP, Netflix has worked with over 40 production companies, generated more than 5,000 cast and crew jobs, as well as 14,000 roles for extras and day hires.”
Netflix’s first original title in the country was the conspiracy thriller 1983, directed, among others, by Agnieszka Holland. Since then, its slate has included the likes of popular comedy 1670 by emerging screenwriter Kuba Różyłło, the film Forgotten Love, based on an iconic Polish intellectual property, dramas Heweliusz and High Water from the creative team of Jan Holoubek, Kasper Bajon, and Anna Kępińska, as well as the action thriller Inside Furioza. “These titles have resonated strongly with both local and global audiences, with more than 60 Polish titles appearing in Netflix’s global non-English weekly top 10 lists across both film and television,” Netflix said.
The streamer has also invested in skills and talent‑development programs with such partners as the Polish Producers Alliance and the Polish Film Institute, the New Horizons Association and the Łódź Film School, reaching more than 1,300 participants.
