Studios (Vis) Emea and Asia and AMC Networks Intl. Southern Europe have set up production operations in Spain.

Exclusive: Disney+’s European originals strategy is out of the launch bay after the Star Wars and Marvel streamer fired up the jetpack on a slate of 10 shows, including the first projects for international general entertainment brand Star.
Disney announced at its investor day last December that Disney+ will greenlight 50 international projects by 2024.

Spearheaded by Diego Londono, Disney’s EVP of media networks and content in Emea, and Liam Keelan, VP of original content in the region, Disney+ has commissioned its first projects out of France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands.

One of the most anticipated of Spanish TV fiction titles for 2021, Movistar Plus’ Original Series “Antidisturbios” (“Riot Police”), the first full TV series created by filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen, was the subject of an international presentation on Tuesday at Conecta Fiction Reboot.
Part of the 4th Latin America-Europe TV co-production meeting, running June 15-18 in Pamplona, Spain, the event has been forced online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. An on-site edition is scheduled to return to Pamplona’s Baluarte Congress Center over Sept. 2-3.
Suggesting a strategic aim of strengthening its position not only as a global producer but also as a distributor of at least its key original TV dramas, Telefonica’s Movistar Plus is for the moment directly handling international sales on Sorogoyen’s “Riot Police,” the action thriller mini-series produced for Movistar by Sorogoyen’s Caballo Films and The Lab.
