Tijuana<\/em> will be co-produced by FMG Studios’ Story House and Netflix, which previously teamed up as co-pro partners on\u00a0El Chapo<\/em>.<\/p>\n The drama follows as the reporters of Tijuana Weekly<\/em> race to cover a story when the presidential front-runner is shot in the street, but the facts they uncover run much deeper than the assassination.<\/p>\n In addition to Tijuana<\/em>, Fusion Media Group and Netflix will co-\u00adproduce two additional Spanish-language scripted series, as well as two English\u00ad-language docu\u00adseries in partnership with the Fusion TV network.<\/p>\n “Tijuana<\/i>\u00a0matters because this is a critical time to be talking about what journalists around the world face every day in the pursuit of the truth, particularly in\u00a0Mexico<\/span>,” said\u00a0Camila Jimenez Villa<\/span>, the president and CEO of FMG Studios. “This expansion of our relationship with Netflix re-affirms the value of the content we’re producing. We will be increasing investment in production and expect to have nearly 200-plus hours of programming by 2020 across scripted and unscripted in English and Spanish. We’ll continue to bet on up and coming creators that truly represent a broad spectrum of stories, characters and experiences, with a particular eye on female and multicultural showrunners, writers and directors.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The new Spanish-\u00adlanguage drama series Tijuana, co\u00ad-produced by Fusion Media Group (FMG) and Netflix, is scheduled to start production next month and will air in the U.S. on Univision Network and debut globally on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[597,267,115],"class_list":["post-3561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-fusion-media-group","tag-netflix","tag-univision"],"yoast_head":"\n
