\n\tMIAMI\/MEXICO CITY: Sony Pictures Television (SPT) and Televisa have agreed to co-produce 12 series together, a total of 840 hours of programming, over the next five years for broadcast in Mexico.<\/p>\n
\n\tSPT will produce the series in Mexico, using some of Televisa's top actors. The series will air on Televisa as well as in the U.S. on Univision's UniMás network. SPT will be handling the distribution across Latin America, while Televisa will distribute across the east and south of Europe. The companies will jointly distribute the series for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
\n\t“This groundbreaking agreement has Sony Pictures Television producing in one of the most important countries in the world. The size of this commitment is indicative of the significance and evolution of our partnership with our friend Jose Bastón and his team at Televisa,” said Andrea Wong, the president of international production for SPT and the president of international for Sony Pictures Entertainment.<\/p>\n
\n\t“By combining Televisa’s talented actors with Sony Pictures Television’s production expertise, we are elevating the teleseries genre to a whole new level as a world-class form of entertainment. We are looking forward to producing a variety of high-caliber prime-time series that are fresh and relevant to our Latin American viewers and also have global appeal,” added Angélica Guerra, the senior VP and managing director of production for Latin America and U.S. Hispanic for SPT. <\/p>\n
\n\t“We believe that this new deal complements the capability of our production companies and will generate a variety of innovative and high-quality content that is distinct from the programming genres we traditionally produce and will provide for more programming choices in the growing Mexican television broadcasting market,” said Jose Bastón, the president of television and content for Televisa.<\/p>\n
\n\t“Expanding our relationship with Sony Pictures beyond the upcoming launch of Metástasis<\/em> speaks to the commitment of UniMás to continue to deliver the best, alternative dramatic series—a strategy that is driving its growth and popularity and making it the number two Spanish-language network in the U.S. in key time periods,” said Alberto Ciurana, the president of programming and content at Univision Communications.<\/p>\n \n\t“Through this agreement, Televisa and Sony Pictures Television are going to produce a variety of cutting-edge content that will appeal to Spanish-speaking young adult audiences and will meet the market’s strong demand for this type of original programming,” added Fernando Pérez Gavilán, the VP of Televisa International.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MIAMI\/MEXICO CITY: Sony Pictures Television (SPT) and Televisa have agreed to co-produce 12 series together, a total of 840 hours of programming, over the next five years for broadcast in Mexico.
