The Outsider to Air on Universal Channel in Latin America

Dori Media Group has sold the crime drama The Outsider (El Marginal) to NBCUniversal International Latin America.

With the newly signed deal, The Outsider will become the first Spanish-language series ever aired on Universal Channel in Latin America. The crime drama, created by Sebastián Ortega, is expected to launch on the channel later this month.

The Outsider is a co-production from Underground Producciones and TV Publica. The series has already been sold to the U.S., the U.K., Spain, Portugal, Israel and Poland, among other markets.

Nadav Palti, CEO of Dori Media, commented: “We are excited to see NBCUniversal, one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies, include El Marginal on their Universal Channel network which is a stunning endorsement of the show’s quality. We are delighted with the ratings success in Argentina, which we fully expect to replicate across the whole LatAm region, thanks to streaming on NBCUniversal and the channel’s significant presence in broadcasting through a strong portfolio of domestic and international platforms.”

Klaudia Bermúdez-Key, the senior VP and general manager of NBCUniversal International Networks Latin America, commented: “We are committed to delivering the best drama and procedural series for our Universal Channel audiences in the region and we decided it was the right moment to introduce a high-quality Spanish-speaking original production as part of our offering. El Marginal brings a high-quality level of production, a diverse cast and a great story that will relate to other series we offer in our network.”
