Netflix’s ‘The Eternaut’ Tops Global Charts, Boosts Argentina’s Economy By $34M

The Eternaut has landed in Netflix’s viewing charts and also delivered a $34M financial boost to the country’s economy, figures from the streamer reveal.
The apocalyptic sci-fi series was produced in Argentina and largely in and around Buenos Aires where it is set – with international collaboration coming into play for the VFX and post-production elements.
Production of the drama – the biggest ever series out of Argentina – contributed over 41B ($34M at current exchange rates) to the country’s economy, Netflix said. It does not break out production budgets, but said its measure takes in the wider impact on Gdp. That measure factors in direct spending on the show as well as the ripple effect, which could be travel, tourism, or the boost to local stores and employment.
Telling the story of what happens after a deadly snow descends, The Eternaut has quickly topped Netflix’s global top ten for non-English-language series.
