Mexico used to be a duopoly of two big networks before the streamer arrived.
Welcome to Tlanewood, a state-of-the-art full service studio that stands at the forefront of Mexico's TV revolution. The sprawling facility, officially called Estudios Gabriel Garcia Marquez and owned by leading independent producer Argos, has benefited enormously from a Mexico production boom spearheaded by streaming giant Netflix.
, and for the first time ever, the seemingly invincible broadcast TV duopoly of Televisa and TV Azteca found itself facing serious competition from streamers, video-sharing websites and cable networks. Televisa even launched a streaming service of its own but its dated telenovela-heavy library failed to attract young viewers.
You've been in the production business for a long time, but now you have a brand-new studio and are working with high-profile companies like Netflix. Has this allowed you to take your productions to another level? Many producers in Mexico like the idea that Netflix allows them more freedom to explore social and political issues, topics that might have been taboo back in the day. Has that been your experience as well?
