Dopamine is working with Onza Entertainment on a historical “mega-series” centered on the life of Hernán Cortés.

The project will tap into the production capabilities of both entities on either side of the Atlantic. Dopamine is the Mexican audiovisual company of Grupo Salinas, while the Spain-based production company Onza is behind the hit series El Ministerio del Tiempo.

Fidela Navarro, CEO of Dopamine, said: “This is a series whose format has been conceived in Dopamine, as part of our new vision of content and openness to other business models. The upcoming celebration of the 500 years of the meeting between two worlds is an opportunity to showcase this crucial moment in Latin American history and nothing better than with Spanish partners, adding cultures, points of view, talent, experience and resources in development and production.”

José María Irisarri, president of Onza, added: “This is a great opportunity to deepen our strategy of production and internationalization. The fifth centenary represents a key historical moment to approach a great fictional series about the historical figure of Hernán Cortés. We are also very excited to start a co-production relationship with Dopamine. I hope this is the first of many projects together.”
