Nicky Jam Bio-Series Coming to Netflix, Telemundo

Nicky Jam: El Ganador, an authorized bio-series based on the life and career of the Latin music superstar, has been picked up by Netflix to stream globally outside of the U.S., where it will be airing on Telemundo.

Produced by Endemol Shine Boomdog, the scripted drama began production in Medellín, Colombia, this week. It will star the Reggaeton sensation himself.

In the U.S., the show will be made available on Netflix after premiering on Telemundo. Film and music video director Jessy Terrero is directing the 13-episode series, which will follow the music artist’s highs and lows.

“I’m extremely excited we started on the production of my biographical series Nicky Jam: El Ganador, which people around the world will be able to be see on Netflix,” said the double platinum artist. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, so thanks to all those who supported me and have worked to make my dream come true.”
