The production house PEGSA spoke about several fiction productions for 2024: Las Reglas del Boxeador for Star+, which ends recording in mid-March, and Espartanos, which completed production in January 2023 and is expecting Star+ to announce its premiere. There are also two projects in pre-production; one will kick off in February and another in May.

In addition, PEGSA is working on three documentaries: one in post-production for Star+, another that finished filming last week for Netflix, and a third – in-house production – for which they have not yet sought a platform. “The ones from Star+ and Netflix will surely premiere this year, and the third, about music, although we will see when it finishes. We hope it will premiere at the beginning of 2025,” said Sergio Ferraro, Senior Director of Production and Operations, and Víctor Tevah, Director of Content Development at PEGSA.

Las Reglas del Boxeador stars Agustín Bernasconi and Abril Schapo. “Las Reglas del Boxeador is based on a book of the same name. Disney bought the IP, and we are adapting it. It’s about a boy who fights in the streets, who senses that in those street fights his brother was murdered and begins his search for the truth,” they pointed out.

Guillermo Pfening stars in Espartanos, based on a true story. It is an 8-episode series that features the journey of a criminal lawyer who teaches rugby to the prisoners of Unidad Penal 48 of San Martín, facing obstacles such as the prejudice of the inmates, the resistance of his group of friends, and the bureaucracy of the system.

“We are very proud of this project. It will be a project of the level of El Encargado – a series of Star+ Original Productions, The Walt Disney Company Latin America, and PEGSA – which sets the bar very high for us. Espartanos, inspired by its main character’s life, is a fiction based on the life of Eduardo “Coco” Oderigo, whose important social work has had results inside prisons thanks to rugby. We were able to recreate it even with real members of the team, who reintegrated into society. It fills us with pride for the message,” they commented.

For Tevah and Ferraro, a documentary “allows you to finance without having a platform. But this is impossible for fiction because the cost is different. If you are producing fiction, it is because you are tied to a window. In documentaries, we can afford that luxury.”

PEGSA produces several thousand hours annually for ESPN. “That is about 50 hours a day. We are one of the production companies that contribute fiction and documentaries, live shows, and studio shows content to both Star+ and ESPN. Last year, we did 18 thousand hours of production for the sports area and a hundred between series and documentaries,” they concluded.
