Eva Longoria y Apple TV
Mediawan Group, Elefantec Global, and UnbeliEVAble Entertainment announced the adaptation and co-production of the French series Call My Agent for all Spanish-speaking territories in Latin America.
Pierre-Antoine Capton, CEO, of Mediawan; Pepe Bastón, CEO, of Elefantec, and Eva Longoria, CEO, of UnbeliEVAble, will be handling the executive production of the series, with Eva Longoria as director of the first two episodes. The international experience of these three co-producing partners will give this adaptation a fresh touch and make it closer to the culture in the region while keeping the humor and satire that made Call My Agent a worldwide success.
The original series was produced by Mon Voisin Productions, owned by Mediawan Group, and by Mother Production. France Télévisions broadcasted its four seasons with record ratings, and Netflix later acquired it. Call My Agent has already been adapted in Italy by Palomar, an Italian production company also part of the Mediawan Group.
“Joining forces with Eva Longoria and Pepe Bastón to make Call My Agent for Latin America is a unique opportunity. Their talent and knowledge combined with their international prestige, guarantee innovation and a high-quality adaptation for this series. It’s a comedy sample showing that French creations are able to travel to audiences around the world,” said Pierre-Antoine Capton, CEO, of Mediawan.
Pepe Bastón, CEO, of Elefantec Global, added: “We are excited to bring Call My Agent to the Latin American market and to do it with creators like Mediawan and UnbeliEVAble Entertainment. Created with a Latin flavor for the world, we are sure that this product will be a success worldwide.”
“Like many people worldwide, I have been a fan of the series since it premiered. Delighted to partner with Mediawan and Elefantec Global to make one of the best properties that brings a behind-the-scenes satirical twist to the entertainment industry for the entire Spanish-language market in the Americas,” Eva Longoria said.
