Pablo Larrain Alex de la Iglesia, Santiago Mitre Direct Netflix Titles

Riding on a high since the success of its most ambitious show in Argentina, “The Eternaut,” Netflix has unveiled a new 20,000 sq. ft. office in Buenos Aires as well as a powerful wide-ranging slate of series, films and documentaries from top-notch talent set to debut this year and next.

This is the third, albeit smallest, new office Netflix has opened in Latin America this year. The Mexico City headquarters spans approximately 90,000 sq ft, while Netflix Brazil marked its multiple years in the country with the opening of an 88,000 sq.ft. purpose-built headquarters in São Paulo, with Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters flying in for the event.

“Argentina has become a key player in our regional strategy thanks to its audiovisual heritage, creative prowess and ability to tell local stories whose significance and impact make them universal,” said Francisco Ramos, Neflix vice president of content for Latin America.

According to Ramos, the Mexico and Brazil offices are larger because they centralize key regional functions – such as accounting, legal, and HR – that aren’t duplicated across every location, allowing for greater efficiency. but, the Argentina office will be focusing mainly on production as well as marketing and PR.

 “Our commitment to the country and the Argentinian audiovisual industry is not only renewed but also strengthened by today’s announcement. plus, we are celebrating 15 years of Netflix in Latin America by opening new offices and reinforcing our local team,” he said.

Among the upcoming feature films is a still untitled film by Santiago Mitre who is following up his Oscar-nominated “Argentina, 1985.” Mitre co-wrote the political thriller with Mariano Llinás. It stars Verónica Llinás (“Trenque Lauquen”) and Peter Lanzani (“Argentina, 1985”)

“The Eternaut” star Ricardo Darin returns to the big screen as a pragmatic psychoanalyst in “Lo dejamos acá,” directed by Hernán Goldfrid (“Thesis on a Homicide”).

Spanish helmer Alex de la Iglesia (“The Bar”) will direct a film adaptation of the lauded play “Congratulations” with Adrian Suar and Griselda Siciliani, who both star in hit show, “Envious.”

Among the TV shows, “Envious” will start streaming its fourth and final season on April 29. Prison drama “In The Mud” drops its third season while the second season of graphic novel adaptation “The Eternaut”is in a very advanced development. Ramos did not rule out a third season.

Siciliani, Cecilia Roth and Sofía Gala Castiglione star in “Moria,” the fictional series inspired by the actress-TV personality diva Moria Casán, which will debut on August 14 to mark her 80th birthday.

Chile’s Pablo Larrain directs mini-series “My Sad Dead” based on the short stories of Mariana Enriquez and starring Mercedes Morán (“Neruda”).

Meanwhile, Pablo Trapero (“& Sons”) and Pablo Fendrik (“Dear Killer Nannies”) will direct “Gordon,”  a thriller based on the eponymous novel name by Marcelo Larraquy, with a cast led by Rodrigo de la Serna (“The Motorcycle Diaries”).

Netflix is also venturing into its first short-form series produced in Argentina, “Carísima,” a 10-episode series by Caro Pardíaco, with each episode running 10 minutes.

“Documentaries are a key part of our strategy because they offer unique perspectives on society and complement our broader content approach. They remain popular on Netflix—especially in Argentina—and filmmakers are very pleased with the audiences they’re reaching through the platform,” Ramos told Variety.

Docu “Yiya Murano: Death at Tea Time” premieres on April 23. Primed for release later in the year or next, are three new documentaries on Argentine figures: Gustavo Cova’s “Emi Martínez: The Kid Who Stops Time,” about soccer star Emiliano Martínez; “Fito Páez: The World Fits in a Song,” a 2026 film by Matías Gueilburt on singer-songwriter Fito Páez and “Perfect: The Voice of Silvina Luna,” a 2027 portrait of model-actress Silvina Luna.

Meanwhile, production continues on “Mafalda” the much-anticipated animated series by Juan José Campanella, director of the Oscar-winning “The Secret in their Eyes,” as well as Netflix’s second most ambitious project in Argentina, the dystopian mini-series “The Future is Ours,” based on Philip K. Dick’s “The World Jones Made.” Both releases are slated for next year.
