Update: Netflix has confirmed they will be launching in the Middle East soon. In an email to IGN ME, Netflix's Joris Evers said, "We plan to complete our global expansion by the end of 2016. Of course the Middle East is part of that, hence our hiring."

A slew of new job listings suggests that Netflix might soon be making its way to the Middle East. Netflix is of course, one of the most popular online streaming service in the world, hosting thousands of TV shows and movies along with its own original series such as House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Marco Polo, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and more.

Searching for the term 'Middle East' on Netflix's jobs website lists three postings: Marketing Planning and & Analysis Manager - EMEA, Senior Manager - EMEA Marketing Insights, and Social Media Manager for Middle East.

Both the Marketing Planning and Senior Manager roles requires individuals that can help "inform important business decisions" as the company "expand across Europe, Middle East and Africa". The wording on the job listings clearly states that Netflix is indeed planning to extend its services to the region, although it's not clear if the company will have an official presence here.

The Social Media Manager role is specifically for the Middle East, however, where the candidate must have a deep "knowledge about social media in Middle Eastern markets", and must possess fluency in "Arabic and English."

There are very few streaming services in the region, with Iciflix and Starz Play only covering a small offering of TV shows and movies. If Netflix is able to bring its breadth of content to the region, it has the potential to tip how content is consumed here, as it has in the US and UK. However, licensing arrangements and content approvals might make that a bit tricky.

We have reached out to Netflix for comment.
