Production of ’The Eternaut,’ the New Netflix No. 1 Non-English Series, Gives Historic Multi-Million Boost to Argentina’s Economy (EXCLUSIVE)
Just confirmed as No. 1 on Netflix´s global Top 10 list of non-English language series, ‘The Eternaut’ plowed 41 billion pesos into Argentina’s economy.
The six-part sci-fi episodic, written by Stagnaro and Ariel Staltari with Martín M. Oesterheld acting as creative consultant, was produced by Hugo Sigman, Matías Mosteirin, Leticia Cristi, Diego Copello at Argentina’s K&S Films. The series stands as one of Latin America’s most ambitious productions to date, a national cultural tentpole in the same league as Brazil’s “Senna” and Colombia’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude;” generating a raucous buzz that continues to radiate through city streets, where locals can be heard praising the efforts and preemptively pining for Season 2. The nods to Argentina were plentiful, as the team had full creative control and made real-time adjustments throughout the shoot to hone in on the homespun storyline, maintaining the essence of the comic strip while lending a dose of live-action adrenaline to the updated, still relevant, social critique.
