/Screen Encounters with Britain/ explores how global streaming platforms 
are reshaping viewing patterns and audience encounters, using the 
circulation, consumption and reception of British films and TV shows in 
European markets as a case study.

Focusing on young audiences in Denmark, Germany, Italy and the 
Netherlands, the book provides original audience insights drawing on a 
wide range of methods, including a survey, digital diaries and 
interviews and offers a critical perspective on the evolving nature of 
young audiences’ engagement with long-form screen content. The evidence 
presented points towards re-asserted Anglo-American dominance, driven by 
the power of large US-owned platforms and English as the language of 
advantage. Building on these findings, the book challenges established 
theory around the ‘home advantage’ of domestic media and rethinks 
linguistic and cultural proximity.

This volume will appeal to scholars and students researching 
transnational media, audience studies, screen production studies, media 
industries and youth studies – as well as scholars and students of the 
political economy of the media.
