Based out of Miami, Telemundo Streaming Studios will be housed under production powerhouse Telemundo Global Studios, led by its President Marcos Santana, who will continue to oversee all original scripted productions for the Telemundo network and other platforms, including international co-productions.
Telemundo Streaming Studios will leverage Telemundo’s extensive experience and production know-how to develop and produce some of the most exciting and innovative Spanish-language shows for streaming platforms in the US and the world.
