Pantaya has signed a deal with Fremantle and Fabula to develop a slate of eight new series for the premium Spanish language streamer. The agreement folds into Pantaya’s plans of aggressively ramping up the production capacity of original content for the service which continues to attract widening audience demographics.
Prior to the new deal announced today, Pantaya, Fabula, and Fremantle have partnered on two series to date; Señorita 89 which will come on to the Pantaya platform in Q1 of 2022, and El Refugio which recently wrapped production in Chile.
Paul Presburger, CEO of Pantaya stated, “We are delighted to continue working with our friends at Fremantle and Fabula after two successful productions. Señorita 89 and El Refugio, are unique and exciting premium series that are exceptionally well made. We’re excited for our subscribers to be able to watch the series soon and for new viewers to discover this high-end content on the Pantaya platform. We’re eager to expand this partnership and create even more exceptional projects that audiences will love.”
Sheila Aguirre, EVP Distribution Latin America, and the Hispanic US, commented, “This is an exciting time for the scripted business in Latin America which is quickly becoming recognized as a diverse talent hub, with authentic stories bursting with global appeal, of which El Refugio and Señorita 89 are great examples. We look forward to further partnering with Pantaya and Fabula to bring more premium drama from Latin America to audiences worldwide.”
Ángela Poblete, Head of Regional Television at Fabula added, “We’ve been working with Pantaya for two years on an alliance full of wonderful experiences. We’re thrilled about their respect for creative freedom and the trust they’ve put in our work. The result is this alliance which will bring new and exciting content for sure.”
