Sony Pictures Television Announces ‘La Academia,’ Its First Spanish-Language Spain-Produced Series (EXCLUSIVE)
Made for Prime Video and 3Cat, soccer-focused ‘La Academia’ is produced for Sony by Brutal Media.
The young cast is led by new Spanish talent such as Ton Vieira (“HIT,” “Through My Window”), Marc Soler (“UPA Next”), Mia Sala-Patau (“This Is Not Sweden”), Ebony Vidjrakou (“Brutal Doctor”) and newcomer Rita González. “With La Academia, it has been fantastic to not only tap into the incredible production resources the Spanish industry offers, but, alongside our friends at Brutal Media, to tell a story which will resonate globally and has drama which can unfold both on and off the pitch,” he added. Eminently multi-national, soccer is a natural scenario for character drawn from throughout the world, “La Academia” featuring, for example, Jairo, newly landed from Colombia with no formal training yet innately talented with the ball.
