BRITS could miss out on hit Netflix shows from the US and elsewhere thanks to new EU laws, The Sun can reveal. A new quota on European TV shows and movies means Netflix may be forced to "hold back" non-EU content in the UK. Later this year, the European Union is expected to enshrine the new Audiovisual Media Services Directive into law. It means that streaming services like Netflix will have to make sure 30% of their content catalogue was produced in Europe.

Netflix doesn't currently meet the 30% target, which is expected to become mandatory in December 2018. This is before Britain leaves the EU, so it will become part of British law as soon as the regulation is passed. Streaming giants will get a 20-month grace period to meet the target.

CD Projekt Red, the developer of the Witcher games (the show is based on the books, though) even jumped in with a Photoshopped image of Hamill's face on Vesemir's … [Read more...] about Star Wars Actor Mark Hamill Doesn’t Know What The Witcher Is But Sure He’ll Be In The TV Show
