Ana Celia Urquidi, CEO of Atenea Media, sat down with Carlos Quintanilla at Conecta Fiction to discuss the future of Spanish-language content. Quintanilla is the writer and creator of Netflix original “Control Z” and now serves as senior director of future original development at NBCUniversal Telemundo.
Recently Telemundo announced the launch of their new division, NBCUniversal Telemundo Hispanic Streaming, which is set to provide 50 new projects to Peacock and other streaming platforms starting in 2022. Quintanilla is excited to be involved, saying “For me this is like the Disneyland of content because I can generate content, and then look for content in the market, for the streaming platforms.”
One way it plans to capture audience with higher quality content is by reimagining the telenovela format, finding ways to bring melodrama to a modern audience. “We need to look for that twist. I believe that’s the main challenge of creative people here,” said Quintanilla. “To develop that genre further…The soap opera we’re making right now is not the same one we used to have in the past. It’s been remastered.
