At an event attended by the entire Argentine audiovisual industry and hosted by Darío Barassi, Netflix presented its new offerings for the Argentine market, showcasing a strong commitment to local production with content featuring the best producers, directors, and actors from the country. This superior commitment will be hard to match.

The presentation began with a video featuring various famous actors working with Netflix, who spoke about the virtues of the country, the talent present, and the concept: ‘Made in Argentina.’

“Our commitment is with the Argentine industry, which is getting stronger, and we have a great variety and quality of productions,” commented Francisco Ramos, VP of Content at Netflix.

The platform is developing movies, series, documentaries, and non-fiction shows that will be released soon, ranging from comedies, dramas, thrillers, and sports to science fiction, set to be seen in the remaining part of this year and in 2025.

Mafalda returns to the screen with a new original animated series on Netflix in collaboration with Mundoloco CGI

The highly anticipated animated series about Mafalda, currently in development and directed by Juan José Campanella, will retain its original characters, irony, and unique humor. The aim is for the entire family to watch it and mainly to reach new generations.

Campanella will serve as the director, screenwriter, and showrunner of the project, developed in animated series format, with Gastón Gorali as co-writer and general producer, and Sergio Fernández as production director. Mafalda is an original Netflix production with Mundoloco CGI.

Additionally, the documentary series Ángel Di María: Breaking the Wall, an intimate and unprecedented story about the life and career of the iconic Argentine footballer, was mentioned. Produced by PEGSA, it will premiere on Netflix on September 12, 2024.

The thriller Atrapados, starring Soledad Villamil, Juan Minujín, and Alberto Ammann, based on the novel by Harlan Coben, produced by Haddock Films, will arrive on the platform in 2025. The second season of División Palermo, created and starring Santiago Korovsky and produced by K&S Films, and the comedy Envidiosa, produced by Adrián Suar and starring Griselda Siciliani, will premiere on September 18.

A trailer was also shown for En el Barro, a spin-off of El Marginal, created by Sebastián Ortega, focusing on the female prison world. It is currently in production and is produced by Underground Producciones.

The highlight of the series presentation was the reveal of a short trailer for El Eternauta, a series based on the comic by Héctor Oesterheld, illustrated by Francisco Solano López. This major sci-fi production, unusual in both Argentina and Latin America, was highlighted by Ricardo Darín, its protagonist, and Bruno Stagnaro, its director, who praised the hard work in front of and behind the camera. Matías Mosteirín, executive producer of K&S Films, described the 150-day shoot as a very challenging but proud accomplishment.

In the non-scripted area, Love is Blind Argentina, produced by Fremantle and hosted by Barassi along with Wanda Nara, was highlighted as a social experiment aiming to prove that true love “is blind.”
