San José, the screenwriter behind hit comedies such as the Spanish Affair and Spanish Affair 2 saga; Friend Zone and Lovestorming, had already worked with the company in the past on Bomb Scared (Netflix) and more recently on the political series with satirical overtones, Vota Juan (TNT).
In addition to his role in developing fiction content for cinema as well as for television, Diego San José has also worked as a screenwriter on entertainment formats including Vaya Semanita, La Hora de José Mota, ¡Qué Vida Más Triste! and El Intermedio, produced by Globomedia.
Javier Méndez, Global Content director of Mediapro, explained that “Diego’s incorporation, right now the most important comedy creator on the audiovisual scene, strengthens our commitment to working with the best talent for developing quality content. Our previous experience working with Diego has been very positive and we are convinced that we will develop impressive projects”.
For his part, San José highlighted, “I’ve produced two of my favorite works with Mediapro, Bomb Scared, and Vota Juan, and I don’t think that’s by chance, I think it has to do with the way we work together so I’m itching to get going and see what new projects can come out of this relationship.”
