What’s the way forward for Spanish-speaking TV players in a post Covid-19 landscape? Executives from four of the region’s biggest players – ViacomCBS, Spain’s Movistar Plus and Rtve, and Colombia’s Caracol Television – thrashed out possible scenarios on Tuesday at an Iberseries online panel. Their answers are hardly industry footnotes. After English and Mandarin, Spanish-language scripted production now doubles French or German in volume of titles, according to a March 2020 Ampere Analysis study, a point picked up on the panel. A post-covid 19 future looks likely to be spoken rather more en español.
Five tentative conclusions – and there was a fair degree of consensus – from the panel, an industry centerpiece for Iberseries:

Argentine Academy Award winner Juan José Campanella (“The Secret in Their Eyes”) is planning “Outlaw,” a reboot of El Zorro, inspired by his take on the historical figure behind the legend, Joaquín Murrieta, the director announced at an online presentation of Viacom International Studios 2020-21 slate.
Part of his first-look deal with Viacom International Studios, “Outlaw” will be “told with much more realism,” he added.
Campanella also announced further details of drama-thriller series “Los Enviados,” which looks like the first title to go before the cameras from his first-look deal with Vis, announced last May.
Led by Pierluigi Gazzolo, president, Studios and Ott, ViacomCBS Networks International, Vis top executives also used the presentation to announce renewals and deliver an update on a swathe of new titles announced over the last few months.
Murrieta is still portrayed by some sources as a petty horse thief. Campanella, however, is taking a different tack,...
