Netflix Adds Germany to List of Countries Adapting Spanish Hit Comedy ‘Machos Alfa,’ Greenlights Season 4 in Spain (EXCLUSIVE)


Other 'Machos Alfa' adaptations are in production in France, the Netherlands and Italy.

It was created and is written by Alberto and Laura Caballero, Spanish sitcom royalty who both worked on the iconic series “Aquí no hay quien viva” and “La que se avecina.” According to Netflix VP and Head of Content for EMEA, Larry Tanz, the decision to adapt “Machos Alfa” was representative of a pull strategy, in which executives in other territories who saw the show knew immediately that a localized version could work for their audiences. Tanz says the contemporary themes of toxic masculinity and male fragility in “Machos Alfa” make it an exciting proposition for other territories, particularly those that share some cultural similarities to Spain.
