complement the linear offer, in addition to supporting the launch and development of the digital platform and social networks. Where is Telemundo Internacional’s strategy aimed towards? Our strategy is all about tending to our clients’ specific needs across all areas and platforms, which makes us an ideal partner for the launch of high-quality digital content. One of the elements that makes Telemundo Internacional stand out is having created the “super series” concept… Super series have proven to be the most demanded product across Latin America and international digital platforms. On the other hand, due to their strong themes, reduced number of episodes -in comparison to traditional telenovelas- and multiple seasons, our international clients and traditional platforms have identified opportunities to program them. ‘Lord of the Skies’ is one of the super series we can say has had the best results in several international platforms. What do you think about the region’s growing interest in biopics? Programming continues to evolve and Telemundo Internacional is always one step ahead of the pack with captivating stories that are relevant for the audience. Undoubtedly, the life of famous characters, who are admired and beloved by the audience, is always a winning formula. What opportunities are there now for the sale of international formats? Telemundo Internacional has been a pioneer, not only in selling formats around the world -including original stories in Chile and entertainment formats in Spain-, but also in offering a very committed service to our buyers to develop and produce their adaptations. Our classic and more modern series, like ‘The Return’, ‘Pasión de Gavilanes’, ‘Missing’, ‘Second Chance’ and ‘Herederos del Monte’, among others, have been produced internationally in territories across Asia, Africa, Middle East and Europe.
