Telemundo Studios Unveils Mobile-First Drama Slate

The first-ever vertical biblical series, María, Mother of God, is part of Telemundo Studios’ newly unveiled mobile-first scripted slate.

“With this new mobile-first portfolio, we’re building on Telemundo’s legacy of Spanish-language drama while adapting to the evolving ways audiences prefer to watch content today,” said Javier Pons, chief content officer and head of Telemundo Studios. “The slate launches with new originals like María, Mother of God as part of a four-title lineup, reaffirming our role as the home of Spanish-language scripted content, regardless of screen or format.”

María, Mother of God is being made in association with VIP 2000 TV and will encompass 25 episodes. A franchise of biblical love stories is in the works, with upcoming titles including Moses & Zipporah, Sanson & Dalila and John the Baptist & Salome Telemundo is also working on reimagined versions of hits like Armas de Mujer and Diario de un Gigoló.

“This project reflects our passion for creating meaningful content that inspires, regardless of religion or age,” said María Eugenia Muci, content director at VIP 2000 TV. “We are confident these stories, told from a fresh, fast, and emotionally powerful perspective, will resonate with new audiences. This co-production with Telemundo Studios continues the vertical journey that VIP 2000 TV began earlier this year in Miami, reinforcing our commitment to innovative formats. Each franchise brings its own unique and special voice. At VIP, religious content has always been a cornerstone of our catalog and co-productions, and we believe deeply in the value of this niche. That is why these biblical love stories have all the elements to achieve global success.”
