Achtung Love/Hate fans! Herr Nidge and Monsieur Fran are ready to take over Europe.

RTE have announced that Love/Hate has secured a major European Netflix deal. The huge hit show will now be streamed on Netflix in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

ITV Studios Global Entertainment on behalf of RTÉ has secured this multi-year subscription video-on-demand deal with Netflix. The deal will result in all five seasons of the drama being dubbed into French and German, a first for the series.

Speaking about the deal, Jane Gogan, RTÉ’s Head of Television Drama, said: “This is fantastic news for RTÉ and Octagon Films. Our ambition has always been to make good drama for Irish audiences that can work internationally as well. After the excellent engagement with the most recent series of Love/Hate it’s good to see international audiences looking for the show as well.”

Fran l’Homme doesn’t have the same ring to it though…
