Netflix gives Scottish twist to biggest shows for Lewis Capaldi takeover

Netflix has fully milked its signing of Lewis Capaldi after the release of his new documentary, How I'm Feeling Now.

The streaming giant unveiled a hilarious collection of spoof images of some of their biggest hits with a very Scottish twist.

The mock posters show Capaldi photoshopped into publicity shots for a host of smash hit shows.

Penn Badgley's smash hit psychological thriller You becomes Ye, and serial killer Joe Goldberg never looked so threatening as he's replaced by our Lewis in the title role.

Retro sci-fi drama Stranger Things gets even more twisted with the Scots singer placed in the midst of its teen cast, as it's renamed 'Stranger Hings'.

Rom-com Emily in Paris becomes even more chic as 'Emily in Glasgow', and Netflix have proved a flair for detail by ensuring the Duke of Wellington's famous cone is tottering on the top of Lily Collins's head.

And Birdbox, the 2018 post-apocalyptic thriller starring Sandra Bullock, is now Munchybox, in tribute to the popular fast food product served up by takeaways and loved by many Scots.

Taking to Instagram to share the posters, the official Netflix UK page said: "helpppp someone's hacked my Netflix???!!!"

Fans rushed to the comments to share their delight.

@enaa.simunovic said: "Why does he actually fit with the Stranger Things poster

""Wherever ye go, there ye are" i'm CRYING"

@carlymhoward added: "Emily in Glasgow" alongside some crying laughing emojis.

@jbaileydaily chimed in: "“munchy box” I feel seen and attacked simultaneously"

@darrenmclaughlin_ added: "this is actually amazing."

The Glasgow-born star also took over their Instagram Stories and answered some of his fans' burning questions.

One fan asked 'Whats yer fav thing bout Scotland', he quipped: "f****** leaving."

Someone else asked: 'more single?' and he answered: "More double."

He ended his takeover by saying: "Netflix, thank you so much for letting me take over your account and thank you so much for giving me all of that money for the documentary. Yeeehaaa."

The all-access documentary chronicles Lewis Capaldi's journey from ambitious teen with a viral performance to Grammy-nominated pop star.

Lewis Capaldi's Netflix documentary How I'm Feeling Now is available to stream on Netflix now.
