SkyShowtime’s Kai Finke: Recent Spanish Originals Are ‘Just the Tip of the Iceberg’ in Local Investment

In early June, SkyShowtime unveiled two new Spanish Originals, darkly comedic family drama “Mamen Mayo,” produced by Spanish powerhouse Nostromo (“Through My Window”); and “Pelotaris 1926,” produced by The Mediapro Studio and TelevisaUnivision’s ViX streaming service, a 1920s drama about three female pelotari players trying to make it in Spain’s Basque Country and Mexico.
