Exclusive: After a 12-year run, Rory Aitken, co-founder of London- and Los Angeles-based management and production company 42, is exiting the firm, which will undergo a restructure.

One of the great things about Netflix is that even as it contributes to the slow mediocritization of filmmaking, it continues to broaden our collective cultural horizons. Yes, for every Kevin Hart's "Lift," which inexplicably had Netflix viewers enraptured earlier this year, there's a foreign film or series that we'd otherwise never have a chance to see. Last year, Indian thriller "Jaane Jaan" topped the Netflix charts in the U.S. while Mexican series "Thursday's Widows" saw similar streaming success stateside.
Now, it's Spain's turn. The country has had a mixed record when it comes to its streaming exports. Last year, god awful Spanish slasher "Killer Book Club" somehow had the Netflix charts in a stranglehold, but the country somewhat redeemed itself with the Oscar-nominated "Society of the Snow," which hit Netflix in January 2024. Now, España has delivered yet another Netflix hit with "El Correo" or "The Courier."

Back in 2018, the world saw Netflix’s Élite series, focusing on three working-class students who enroll at the elite high school in Spain. Its glowing success made the worldwide celebrities of its young actors, who continued to conquer the charts.
In particular, two of the show’s main stars shined in this crime flick, which is now holding the 2nd place in Netflix’s global top after it was added to the platform on May 10. It managed to gain the attention of not only Spanish viewers, but also Netflixers all around the world.
Set in 2002, after Spain entered the Euro, the movie tells a story of the young valet Iván, who finds his town and the opportunities it gives too small for his ambitions. He then becomes a courier for an international organization dedicated to money laundering.
