The distributor Spiral International has signed an agreement with Amazon Prime Video to bring the Mexican adaptation of the international crime series Falco (15×60´) exclusively to its streaming service in Latin America.
The crime story is produced by Spiral International and production powerhouse Dynamo, and will feature Michel Brown (Sr. Ávila), in the lead role.
The series is showrun and directed by acclaimed Mexican filmmaker, director and screenwriter Ernesto Contreras.
“Falco is an incredible story with a gritty and realistic look at police work in today’s Mexico City,” commented Pablo Iacoviello, Head of Latin America Content Acquisition, Amazon Prime Video. “Amazon is committed to bringing unique and locally relevant stories to Prime Video members across Latin America, and we’re excited to be the exclusive streaming home for Falco.”
Co-executive producer Zasha Robles from Spiral added “Falco and Mexico City play the lead role in our story and we will see the city in a new light that has never been seen before.”
Diego Ramirez from Dynamo, also co-executive producer, highlighted “its grandness will captivate audiences, and Falco will touch our hearts in this crime thriller and emotional story.”
The series, which is currently in production in Mexico City and is set to premiere later this year, is based on the hit German series The Last Cop.
