Falco to Stream on Amazon Across LatAm

Amazon Prime Video is bringing Falco, based on the scripted format The Last Cop, exclusively to its streaming service in Latin America.

Falco is the Mexican adaptation of the hit crime series. Spiral International, the Latin American distributor for Red Arrow Studios International, inked the deal. Falco is produced by Spiral and Dynamo (Narcos, American Made) and features Michel Brown, star of the International Emmy Award-winning series Sr. Ávila, in the lead role.

Falco is currently in production in Mexico City and is set to premiere later this year.

“Falco will be an exciting cinematic experience across all its episodes,” said director and showrunner Ernesto Contreras. “In the show, we have established an expressive and stylized language, including the nostalgia of the ’90s, when Falco practically ceases to exist. Our primary objective is to create a special visual, audio and emotional universe to tell our story.”

“Falco is an incredible story with a gritty and realistic look at police work in today’s Mexico City,” said Pablo Iacoviello, head of Latin American content acquisition at Amazon Prime Video. “Amazon is committed to bringing unique and locally relevant stories to Prime Video members across Latin America, and we’re excited to be the exclusive streaming home for Falco.”

Co-executive producer Zasha Robles of Spiral International said: “Falco and Mexico City play the lead role in our story and we will see the city in a new light that has never been seen before.”

Diego Ramirez from Dynamo, also co-executive producer, added: “Its grandness will captivate audiences, and Falco as both a crime thriller and emotional story will touch our hearts.”

Henrik Pabst, president of Red Arrow Studios International, said: “We are delighted that Falco has found such a great home in Latin America with Amazon, and are excited to be launching the series at MIPTV to the rest of the world.”
