Legendary Global, Chris Albrecht's international TV venture with Legendary, has a quarantine-themed series in the works as it expands into Spain.
Legendary Global and Spain-based ESPotlight are partnering to develop and produce around 10 series annually for Spanish-speaking audiences worldwide, initially with the COVID-19 dramedy La Trientena.
Legendary Global is joining Netflix, ViacomCBS International Studios and other Hollywood players setting up production hubs in Madrid to make premium content for fast-expanding global streaming platforms.
The move also follows Albrecht, in March 2019, leaving his post as Starz CEO as the network became more aligned with Lionsgate, which acquired the premium cable and streaming channel in 2016.
