Roberto Stopello will continue cooperating with the platform, developing projects as showrunner and head writer

The Venezuelan author and screenwriter Roberto Stopello left his position as VP of Series for Latin America at Netflix. He will continue cooperating with the platform, developing projects as showrunner and head writer.

During his 5-year tenure at Netflix, Stopello promoted the production of melodramas and left his stamp by taking on the telenovela with all its value. Under his direction, hits such as Who Killed Sara?, Pálpito, Triada, Oscuro Deseo, and Madre de Alquiles, among others, were commissioned. He is also responsible for bringing great writers, such as Chascas Valenzuela, Leonardo Padrón, and Pablo Illanes, among others.

“Latin America loves telenovelas. In the last 40 or 50 years, from Mexico to Argentina, we were sentimentally nourished with telenovelas. And our subscribers consume it; they like melodrama. What we did was to bring out the best of this genre with the best of the series, and that is how we make novels with the ‘N’ of Netflix,” he commented in 2022, during the launch of that campaign.

Before being an executive at the platform, he served more than 15 years at NBCUniversal. For almost a decade, he was director of Telemundo’s writing department for telenovelas that included Aurora, Santa Diabla, La Casa de al Lado, Los Herederos Del Monte, Doña Bárbara, and ¿Dónde está Elisa?, among many others. He is also known for his work on the TV network RTI Televisión as the author of La Reina del Sur and at Argos Comunicación for Señora Acero, along with the sisters Indira and Amaris Páez, as well as with Sergio Mendoza.
