Leonardo Zimbrón, Head of Fiction Programming at Endemol Shine Boomdog and founder of Traziende Films, explained that in LA Screenings they have seen that each company has a clearer vision of what is coming for 2019 and 2020.

“Last year the market focused on denser and a bit darker stories, I see that this market is looking for lighter things, not just comedies, but with greater light, a bit more optimistic, probably to balance,” although, according to him, that will likely change in 6 months. “But now, I see a trend more towards romance, happy endings.”

He assured that they have projects along that line, both half-hour and one-hour, which they are offering, but they will be announced as they sign them, maybe in the course of a month.

Likewise, they continue developing titles such as El Asesor, Joaquín Sabina, Hijos de Tigre and other like El Clan, “that is a story we are going to make as a miniseries”.

Another one that was announced recently and is a accomplishment of the Los Angeles office is the biography of Celia Cruz based on her autobiographic book, which includes Kenny Ortega as part of the project.
