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:
The Bigger Picture
“I assume a global context with six-to-eight big players, playing globally, after recent mergers,” said Guillermo Borensztein, VP of sales and co-production, ViacomCBS International Studios. The immediate future is one of “atomization of offer,...

There’s plenty of content to watch across every major streaming platform already, something everyone has certainly appreciated during the ongoing pandemic. But who would dare complain about even more movies and shows to check out? Lucky you – Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Disney Plus are all getting new stuff to watch this weekend, and some of it is absolutely worth your time.
Over on Netflix, you’ll definitely want to check out District 9, a film that delicately handles being both a compelling sci-fi action flick and a political statement that tackles xenophobia and racism. If you’re needing something a bit more light-hearted though, there’s always the David Spade comedy, The Wrong Missy, which is sitting at a pretty rough 31% on Rotten Tomatoes but is nevertheless doing exceptionally well with audiences.
If you’re a Hulu subscriber and foodie, you’ll want to check out seasons 37-39 of the hit show,...

With so many people across the world forced to stay indoors due to the Coronavirus pandemic, demand for Netflix has surged.
Never before has the online streamer been so popular, and to keep its subscribers entertained, the Big N has today rolled out a slew of exciting additions to its lineup of content.
That means from May 15th, Netflix subscribers will be able to access season 6 of Madam Secretary, all three seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and sci-fi gem District 9. The latter initially debuted back in 2009 as Neill Blomkamp’s feature film, who would later go on to helm Elysium and Chappie. Blomkamp was then tipped to helm Alien 5 – a direct sequel to the classic Aliens – but sadly, despite a collection of awesome concept art emerging onto the interwebs, said continuation never came to pass and is “unlikely” to happen, after all.
That’s a bummer. But if...

This coming week is shaping up to be a good one for Netflix content, and that’s saying quite a lot considering how solid the output has been on the streaming platform over the past few months of worldwide quarantining. If you’re looking for an exciting collection of adult drama and kid-friendly adventures, though, May 11th through the 17th has you covered.
Fans of goofy, occasionally offensive adult cartoons will appreciate that season 3 of Bordertown will launch on Netflix this month. But if that’s a not quite up your alley, or you want something to watch with the kids, you can also check out all three seasons of the hit Nickelodeon show, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Meanwhile, those looking for a classic thriller can check out the 2009 Johnny Depp film Public Enemies. The movie, which chronicles an attempt to take down gangsters in the 1930s, did fairly well...
