EO Media-Sold ‘Sumergidos’ Makes Pan-Latin America Pay TV Debut on A&E Jan. 27
variety.comAnna Marie de la Fuente Eze Olzanski’s Buenos Aires-based EO Media has confirmed the Jan. 27 A&E Latin America debut for Argentine-Brazil series “Sumergidos” as it descends on Content Americas.
This follows a raft of various new movie deals that the production and distribution company sealed at Mip Cancun with the likes of Paramount, NBC Universal, Globo and MVS.
It also closed free TV pacts in Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Mexico, Brazil and Uruguay as well as inflight deals for several movies in its slate at the Mexico event. “Sumergidos”is one of the latest additions to A&E’s catalog of crime drama series alongside titles led by “Narcos,” “Narcos: Mexico,” “El Chapo,” “Rosario Tijeras,” “El Patrón del Mal” and “Sobreviviendo a Escobar: Alias JJ.” “When we sold ‘Narcos,’ ‘Narcos: Mexico’ and ‘El Chapo’ to A&E, not many believed that they could play on both a pay TV network and Netflix simultaneously.
We proved them wrong as they were very successful,” Olzanski told Variety. This is the first pan-Latin American pay TV premiere for the thriller. “Sumergidos” had its local debut on Paramount Channel in Brazil and on Argentina’s TV Publica in 2022.
