Madrid — Mexico is a magnet. Netflix produces near twice as many originals there (40) as in France (23) or Germany (23), according to Ampere Analysis. Among Latin America’s biggest cable powers with a 2019 24% audience share in Latin America, and five of its top 10 channels , not so long ago Turner Latin America hardly produced Mexican series.
Now it is now hunkering down in the U.S. neighbor, its Natpe slate of new originals led by a trio of Mexican titles, romantic dramedy “Amarres,” “The Cleaning Lady,” a thriller, and “Las Bravas,” about a women’s soccer team. Caught just before Natpe, Tomas Yankelevich, Turner Latin America’s Evp & chief content officer, General Entertainment, drilled down on its Mexican drive and what the slate says about Turner Latin America’s ambitions as parent company Warner Media prepares to launch Ott service HBO Max this semester. Variety notes five key points:

It's hard to believe that it's been 23 years since the incredibly talented Selena Quintanilla was murdered. Her former fan club president turned killer Yolanda Saldivar still sits behind bars at the Mountain View Unit prison in Texas, but many fans are curious what she looks like today. Yolanda was 35 years old when she was arrested for Selena's slaying. To this day, she swears she has a "clear conscience" because the shooting was an "accident," but many fans (and the courts) disagree. Now, she's 57 years old. She looks very similar, still very small at four feet, eight inches, with brown eyes. Her years are showing in the wrinkles around her eyes, and her once-brown hair is getting more gray.
