NATPE Spotlight: Lionsgate Entertainment

MIAMI: The wealthy and traditional Mexican-American family the Marins, dubbed the Latino Kardashians, are the focus of the new docu-soap Tequila Sisters, on offer from Lionsgate Entertainment.

Also a top offering from the company is Chasing Life, which marks the first series produced by Lionsgate’s South Shore joint venture with Televisa. The drama is about a twentysomething aspiring journalist who is working her way up the corporate ladder. There’s also the half-hour comedy Saint George, starring George Lopez.

“Each of these brand-new shows has a broad worldwide appeal and also a Latin American spark and flavor, which we are certain will pique the interest of free TV and digital acquisitions executives from across the region and beyond at NATPE,” says Peter Iacono, the managing director of international television.
