Maribel Ramos-Weiner| October 2, 2015

Grupo Televisa announced it will greenlight production of multiple English-language series to fuel its own original content demands as well as those from the growing global on-demand and traditional TV markets. Among the first to utilize the 1991 Mexican-Canadian tax treaty for scripted series –together with Vancouver-based Odyssey Media- Televisa will offer the debut series in this venture, Duality, starring Dougray Scott (Hemlock Grove, Desperate Housewives, Taken 3), at MIPCOM. Duality depicts an elite, top-secret team of State Department, CIA and Mexican intelligence agents within Mexico who wage war against the world’s most dangerous villains operating in Latin America. The series, based on an original story from writer-producer Barry Schkolnick (Good Wife, Law & Order), depicts characters on dangerous missions while battling their own personal demons, maintaining their secret identities and encountering life-threatening conflicts. Chris Philip, Head of Production and Distribution for Televisa USA; Jorge Aragón (A La Mala, Capadocia); Eduardo Clemesha, Televisa´s general director of New Content and Formats; Odyssey film and television producer Kirk Shaw (The Hurt Locker); and Scott will executive produce.“Our competitive advantage with unparalleled production capabilities and multi-platform networks gives us the scale to deliver the global market multiple high-quality series, and with creative casting we can target a powerful multicultural audience in the U.S.,” said Televisa USA’s Philip.Duality, and each series that follows, will have globally recognized talent, combining star power from English-speaking markets with Latino superstars. They will attract the acculturated English-speaking U.S. Hispanic viewers highly coveted by U.S. networks.
