Netflix Acquires 'The Black Ball,' A Spanish Language Drama Starring Penelope Cruz and Glenn Close Netflix has acquired the rights to "The Black Ball," a critically acclaimed Spanish language drama that premiered in competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
The deal marks a major coup for the streaming giant, but also raises questions about its intentions behind this latest acquisition.
