Pablo Larraín Alex de la Iglesia, Santiago Mitre Netflix direct titles

Netflix, on a roll since the success of its most ambitious show in Argentina, The Eternaut, has unveiled a new 20,000 square foot office in Buenos Aires and announced a strong and wide range of series, films and documentaries from top talent set to debut this year and next.

This is the third and smallest new office Netflix has opened in Latin America this year. While its Mexico City headquarters is approximately 90,000 square feet, Netflix Brazil opened an 88,000 square foot headquarters to mark several years of activity in Mexico. A purpose-built headquarters was built in São Paulo, and Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters flew in for the event.

“Argentina plays a key role in our regional strategy thanks to its audiovisual heritage, creativity and ability to tell local stories that make their importance and impact universal,” said Francisco Ramos, vice president of Latin American content at Netflix.

Ramos said the Mexico and Brazil offices centralize key regional functions such as accounting, legal and human resources, which eliminates duplication and improves efficiency in each location. In contrast, the Argentina office will primarily focus on production, marketing and PR.

“Our commitment to this country and Argentina’s audiovisual industry is not only renewed but further strengthened with today’s announcement. Additionally, we celebrate Netflix’s 15th anniversary in Latin America by opening a new office and strengthening our local team,” he said.

Upcoming feature films include director Santiago Mitre’s as-yet-untitled follow-up to the Oscar-nominated “Argentina, 1985.” Miter co-wrote the political thriller with Mariano Linas. Starring Veronica Linas (Trenke Lauken) and Peter Lanzani (Argentina, 1985).

“Eternal” star Ricardo Darin returns to the big screen as a down-to-earth psychoanalyst in “Lo dejamos acá,” directed by Hernán Goldfrid (“Theses on Murder”).

Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia (The Bar) will direct the film adaptation of the acclaimed play Congratulations, alongside Adrian Suhar and Griselda Siciliani, who star in the hit show Envias.

Among TV shows, “Envirus” will begin airing its fourth and final season on April 29th. The prison drama “In the Mud” has finished its third season, and the second season of the graphic novel “The Eternaut” is well underway. Ramos did not rule out a third season.

Siciliani, Cecilia Ross and Sofia Gala Castiglione star in the fictional series “Moria,” inspired by actress and TV personality songstress Moria Kassan, which debuts on August 14 in honor of her 80th birthday.

Chilean director Pablo Larraín will direct the miniseries “My Sad Dead,” based on a short story by Mariana Enriquez and starring Mercedes Moran (“Neruda”).

Meanwhile, Pablo Trapero (And Sons) and Pablo Fendrick (The Dear Killer Nannies) are set to direct the thriller Gordon, based on Marcelo Larrachi’s novel of the same name, with a cast led by Rodrigo de la Serna (The Motorcycle Diaries).

Netflix is ​​also taking on the first Argentine-produced short series, Carísima, a 10-episode series by Caro Paldiaco, with each episode lasting 10 minutes.

“Documents are an important part of our strategy because they offer a unique perspective on society and complement our broader content approach. Documentaries remain popular on Netflix, especially in Argentina, and filmmakers are very happy with the audiences they can reach through the platform,” Ramos told Variety.

The documentary “Yiya Murano: Death at Tea Time” will be premiered on April 23rd. Three new documentaries about Argentine figures are scheduled for release this year or next. One is “Emi Martinez: The Child Who Stops Time,” directed by Gustavo Coba, about soccer star Emiliano Martinez. “Fito Paes: A World Perfect for Singing”, a 2026 film directed by Matthias Gilburt about singer-songwriter Fito Paes, and “Perfect: The Voice of Silvina Luna”, a 2027 portrait film about model and actress Silvina Luna.

Dick’s Jones. Both releases are scheduled for next year.
