Banijay Americas is launching a new production studio, Banijay Mexico and U.S. Hispanic, which will be led by Marie Leguizamo.<\/p>\n

The studio will be based in Mexico City and at Banijay America\u2019s Los Angeles offices. It will focus on original content in both English and Spanish for broadcast, cable and streamers in the Mexican and U.S. Hispanic markets.<\/p>\n

Leguizamo will serve as the studio\u2019s managing director. Leguizamo has produced unscripted television for nearly two decades. In 2019, Leguizamo signed an overall development and executive producer deal with the company\u2019s sister Mexico City-based studio Endemol Shine Boomdog.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are truly excited to be launching a new studio that\u2019s focused on developing and producing original content for the Mexican and U.S. Hispanic marketplaces and to have someone like Marie at the helm,\u201d said Cris Abrego, chairman of the Americas at Banijay and president and CEO of Endemol Shine Holdings. \u201cMarie is perfectly suited for this role\u2014she\u2019s one of the most respected producers in this space, she has deep roots in both nations and is entrepreneurial at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to be given this unique opportunity to lead a new label focused on creating fresh and innovative content for both Mexican and U.S. Hispanic audiences,\u201d said Leguizamo. \u201cIt\u2019s an incredibly exciting time in this space right now, with so many networks and emerging platforms looking to acquire premium programming. I thank Cris Abrego and our team for trusting me with this new role, and I can\u2019t wait to further establish Banijay as a leader in this territory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
