Netflix officially presented in Mexico City Club de Cuervos (13×60), the first series entirely in Spanish, produced in Mexico and with Mexican talent for this platform, which will be available starting August 7th to nearly 65 million subscribers around the world.”Club de Cuervos is a two-year project and too important an opportunity for me to carry it out alone, so I went to the US to learn with American series scriptwriters how to write a series. They visited Mexico and here they learned about this culture and we achieved what we wanted. I think this project will open the doors to other series in Spanish”, Gary Alazraki, producer of the series said to PRODU.On the other hand, Luis Gerardo Méndez, star of this production, emphasized that the four US writers that collaborated in the series have taken part in Californication, Two and a half men, Los soprano, among other successful productions, “therefore we hope that people from any part of the world feel identified with the series”.Likewise, Leo Zimbrón, producer at Grupo Traziende, who also collaborated in the making of the project, said: “In Mexico there is no such thing as a showrunner, but with this production, there will be for the first time. There were many narrative challenges, but Netflix allowed unique creative freedom”.
