Writer’s Block Gets Spanish-Language Treatment

Amuz Distribution, which recently rebranded from ComediHa! Distribution, has inked a deal with Gaumont U.S. for a Spanish-language treatment of the scripted comedy Writer’s Block.

Writer’s Block tells the story of two TV showrunners who find themselves at the end of their creative ropes following the colossal failure of their far-fetched crime drama series The Law of Justice. They are compelled to produce another season and determined to regain their reputation and dispel notions of being shallow researchers, so they embark on a quest to acquire genuine criminal experiences that will infuse authenticity into the show.

Gaumont U.S. secured the rights to produce a Spanish version of the comedy series. The project will be overseen by its Latin American team, based in Los Angeles.

Alex Avon, VP of global distribution for Amuz Distribution, said: “Amuz Distribution is excited to close the first deal with our new company brand and is especially pleased that it is with Gaumont—a truly fantastic partner. We are looking forward to seeing the Spanish-language version of Writer’s Block and are sure that everyone will enjoy the series. This deal ensures that we are continuing our mission of keeping the world feeling good!”
