Movistar Plus+ International was created in 2022 with the aim of boosting the international distribution of all the platform’s original productions, as well as signing co-production agreements with relevant international partners to help carry out more ambitious projects designed to reach a global audience that demands stories with the Spanish seal of quality.
Agreement with ARTE France
The European cultural channel ARTE France has become one of the major partners of original fiction series, having recently confirmed its participation in the series ‘Killing a Bear’, currently in production. Created by brothers Jorge and Alberto Sánchez-Cabezudo, it stars Eduard Fernández, María Rodríguez Soto, Miki Esparbé, Pol López, Nora Navas and Àlex Monner.
