“Latin American productions resumed a couple of months ago, so the negative impact on our programming was minimal and unnoticeable.”Īsked to offer advice to watching producers on what appeals to Netflix, Ramos replied: “Bottom line the most important thing is their point of view. “egarding the impact of the pandemic and the calling off of productions in some regions, as the pandemic affected different areas in different ways, we stopped producing in Latin America after we stopped in Europe, but we resumed earlier there, so productions from Asia and Europe kept coming,” he said. We’re not just interested in quantity: our main interest is to expand a diversity of visions, topics and points of view.”Īsked whether the production halts brought on by the pandemic created a content vacuum, Ramos disagreed and said schedules are planned months in advance.

Also, we’ll improve the offering on documentaries – either series or feature films.

“Diversity is still crucial for us because it’s what our members so eagerly ask from us,” the executive said, noting that in the five or six years since Netflix started producing original content in Latin America TV became the early specialty, although that could change. Recent film successes in Latin America have included Marcos Carnevale’s comedy So Much Love To Give ( Corazon Loco) and Sebastián Schindel’s crime drama The Crimes That Bind ( Crimenes de Familia) from Argentina, as well as Mexican hits like rom-com You’ve Got This ( Ahi Te Encargo) from Salvador Espinosa, and family comedy Dad Wanted ( Sa Busca Papi) from Javier Colinas.
To that point, Ramos noted that Mexican mystery series Dark Desire ( Oscuro Deseo) has been “a success in every part of the world” during the pandemic and has been greenlit for another season, while Mexican hacking drama Control Z has also travelled well. In a 20-minute session titled Netflix Between The Pandemic And The OTT Ecosystem, Francisco Ramos, the service’s vp of Spanish-language originals in Latin America who has been doing the festival rounds (he spoke at San Sebastian recently), said while the plan was to develop Latin American success stories, popular shows from other parts of the world enriched the local offering. Netflix’s German historical Roman era epic Barbarians and Swedish crime drama Quicksand are among some of the most notable international series to catch on with the platform’s Latin America audiences, a Ventana Sur online panel heard this week.
