HBO Max has lined up a development slate of more than 100 local productions in Latin America over the next two years, 33 of which are already in production.
The announcement on Thursday (April 29) comes as the platform prepares to launch across Latin America and the Caribbean in June.
All programmes will be exclusive to HBO Max platform under the Max Originals brand. Original productions include Mexican comedy Búnker, contemporary family rom-com Amarres; Argentinian youth-oriented musical drama Días De Gallos; and drama series The Missing.
The 2021 slate include four-part Argentinian football documentary series Bilardo, El Doctor Del Fútbol; and Mexican children’s horror anthology Frankelda’s Book Of Spooks from the studio Cinema Fantasma.
“HBO Max is a new platform that is committed to telling the best stories that generate experiences and emotions in our fans across Latin America,” said Tomás Yankelevich, chief content officer of WarnerMedia Latin America.
“Currently, we are working on productions that cover a wide variety of different genres and formats, with all kinds of local stories that are relevant to our consumers, reinforcing our commitment to local communities with our great Latin American talent and most certainly with our audience. And this is only the beginning.”
