‘M+/HBO Originals’: Movistar Plus & Skydance Extend Partnership
Spain’s Movistar Plus and Skydance today said they have extended their “strategic alliance” through a new two-year global agreement.
The deal extension is one of the first big international pacts confirmed by Skydance since it closed its mega merger with Warners.
Under the deal, the two entities will launch local original projects together, with the selected projects “co-branded” by both companies. The announcement said the projects will have “national and international ambitions.” The series will premiere simultaneously on Movistar Plus and HBO Max in Spain. The first two titles to carry the joint Originals label are:
‘Veredicto’, a Movistar Plus and HBO Original series produced in collaboration with Ikiru Films and Luminol Media, created by Eduard Sola, Pol Cortecans and Daniel González from an original idea by Carles Porta, and starring Nagore Aranburu, Ernesto Alterio, Alba Flores, Omar Ayuso, Secun de la Rosa, Alfredo Castro, Marc Soler, Júlia Mascort,
