Netflix announced its first Spanish-language original series, a comedy from director Gaz Alazraki that reunites the team that made Nosotros los Nobles, one of the most successful Mexican box office hits of all time. The 13-episode series from Alazraki Entertainment is set to premiere in 2015 and centers on a family feud among heirs of a soccer club after the owners death. Shooting entirely in Mexico and featuring a cast from all over Latin America, including Nobles star Luis Gerardo Méndez, the series offers a satirical, highly entertaining look into the world of professional soccer.We formed a very special team for We Are the Nobles, and we all knew we wanted to keep working together. When I told the team that Netflix was interested in producing the show, the excitement was contagious since theres nobody cooler and more innovative in this day and age than Netflix, said Gaz Alazraki. Were thrilled to be working with the talent from We Are the Nobles, a movie that managed to capture a cultural phenomenon in a fun and engaging way, while also breaking box office records. Gaz has the disruptive vision and creative storytelling we were looking for in producing our first original series in Mexico. Were confident our members in a market as important to us as Mexico and Latin America will love this family comedy, said Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer. Produced by Gaz Alazraki, Leo Zimbron and Mike Lam, the story was created by Mike Lam and will be directed by Gaz Alazraki.
