Exile and Endeavor strike first-look series deal

Exile, a film, and TV studio focused on long-form content for global audiences in English and Spanish, and Endeavor Content announced that they’ve signed an exclusive first look series deal with Sundance screenwriting winner showrunner-writer-director Sebastián Hofmann.

Hofmann’s first announced project is the scripted elevated horror series Jabalí, which chronicles the disappearance of a local activist in a forgotten village in rural Mexico in the midst of the traditional feast of the boar.

“Sebastián is truly masterful at creating some of the most sophisticated horror films in Latin America, and we want to invest in introducing his voice to the global scripted series market,” said Alonso Aguilar, Exile’s Head of Development.

“To be given the opportunity to develop an auteur-driven series is a dream come true for any filmmaker. Exile and Endeavor Content are creating a strong new platform for contemporary Latin American voices. I am proud and grateful to be a part of it,” said Hofmann.

“Sebastián’s ear for gripping horror stories, his eye for compelling visuals, and his unique storytelling style all make him a world-class showrunner, writer, and director, and we’re looking forward to seeing all that he will create through this partnership,” said Kelly Miller, VP, International Strategy, Endeavor Content.
