Skydance and Movistar Plus announced an expanded two-year strategic partnership on Tuesday, extending their existing collaboration across multiple entertainment categories. The agreement maintains Movistar Plus’ integration of HBO Max within its streaming platform while broadening the scope to encompass select Skydance television channels, major theatrical releases from Warner Bros. Pictures, and additional content deals. Financial specifics were not made public.
A central element of the renewed partnership involves launching Spanish-language original series under a joint Movistar Plus and HBO Original branding, marking a new approach in the Spanish market. The first two projects operating under this collaborative label are Veredicto and an unnamed series. Veredicto, developed through partnerships with production companies Ikiru Films and Luminol Media, features creators Eduard Sola, Pol Cortecans, and Daniel González, with a cast including Nagore Aranburu, Ernesto Alterio, Alba Flores, and others. The second original series comes from creator Carles Porta and production company Los Moriarti, headlined by actors Anna Castillo, Pol López, and Eduard Fernández.
Both companies characterized the initiative as expanding the international visibility of Spanish-produced stories while highlighting local creative talent. The expanded agreement encompasses developments across streaming services, television channels, film distribution, original programming, and sports content rights. Officials from both entities emphasized that the partnership aims to strengthen Movistar Plus’ position as a leading entertainment platform in Spain by combining comprehensive content libraries with enhanced user experience. The arrangement enables continued access to HBO Max’s catalog, including franchises, films, and series from Warner Bros. and DC properties alongside other established programming.
