Netflix spent $12 billion on content in 2018, and experts expect the streaming behemoth will shell out another $15 billion this year. Much of that money goes to its own productions, but a lot goes to licensing other shows — and licensing content that it can offer exclusively in other territories.

That’s why, for example, The 100 is the most popular “Netflix original” in countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, according to a new analysis by Daily Wireless.
