Disney+ has partnered with Spain’s Atresmedia to bring a curated selection of Spanish content to subscribers in the country. Beginning this month, Disney+ viewers in Spain will have access to over 300 hours of Atresmedia titles each year, available in a dedicated section on the Disney+ platform.
One of Atresmedia’s most popular shows, “Money Heist” (“La Casa de Papel”), has garnered more than 106 million views globally, making it the fourth most-watched foreign-language series on Netflix. This partnership showcases Disney’s commitment to supporting local television channels across Europe, following a similar deal with ITVX in the U.K.
In Spain, Disney+ has been producing original series like “Ladrones: La tiara de Santa Agueda” and “La suerte: Una serie de coincidenciones,” set to premiere at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. The CEO of Atresmedia, Javier Bardají, emphasized that this collaboration will promote Spanish talent and culture on an international scale.
In addition to “Money Heist,” Atresmedia offers shows like “Gran Hotel,” “Velvet,” “The Time Between Stitches,” “Vis a Vis,” and “Veneno” to viewers worldwide. This partnership not only solidifies Atresmedia’s position in the industry but also boosts Atresplayer’s standing as a premier Spanish platform.
Starting September 14, viewers in Spain can enjoy Atresmedia series on Disney+, including “Mar Fuera,” “La Voz,” “Tu Cara Me suena,” and Antenna 3 series like “La Encrucijada” and “Sueños de liberta,” among others. With Disney+ already boasting 2.2 million subscribers in Spain, this partnership is sure to enhance the streaming experience for Spanish viewers.
