DIRECTV LatAm Takes El Accidente

Eccho Rights has clinched a deal with DIRECTV in Latin America to bring the Spanish thriller El Accidente to the operator’s OnDIRECTV channel.

Produced by Globomedia, the show premiered on Telecinco in Spain last year and was the channel’s most successful drama launch in more than two years.

“With our channel’s history of acquiring the most acclaimed series from Spain, El Accidente just had to be on our channel,” said Willard Tressel, general manager of OnDIRECTV. “We are thrilled to be bringing it to our viewers all across the LatAm region.”

“El Accidente is a gripping, well written and beautifully acted family thriller that performed amazingly well in Spain and we look forward to bringing it to more audiences worldwide,” added Laura Miñarro, director of co-production and scripted at Eccho Rights.
