Netflix has announced the start of production of four new series in Mexico: Santita, Love 9 to 5 (Amor de oficina), I’m not afraid (No tengo miedo) and Corruptors (Los corruptores). Netflix has also confirmed the end of production of Lovesick (Mal de amores), the adaptation of the novel written by Ángeles Mastretta and directed by her daughter, Catalina Aguilar Mastretta.

“We continue to expand the range of stories to be told, but always betting on their authenticity. To achieve this, we are investing even more resources and efforts in the development phase of these productions, because dedicating more time to this phase brings tremendous benefits for both creators and audiences,” commented Carolina Leconte, Vice President of Content for Netflix Mexico.

• Santita, a series by director Rodrigo García (Familia, The Follies), will be starring Paulina Dávila and Gael García Bernal.
• Love 9 to 5, the new comedy by Carolina Rivera (creator of Daughter from Another Mother, The Manny and The War Next-Door), with Diego Klein and Ana González Bello.
• I’m not Afraid, based on the renowned Italian novel by Niccolò Ammaniti, will be directed by Ernesto Contreras and starring Luis Alberti, Fátima Molina, Yoshira Escárrega, Humberto Busto and Leidi Gutierrez.
• Corruptors, based on the novel of the same name by Jorge Zepeda Patterson, featuring Michel Brown, Zuria Vega, Osvaldo Benavides and Raúl Briones in the cast.

“The development work ahead of production is key to arriving on set with everything ready: from scriptwriting to meetings with directors and actors to test the tone, and for the creative team, Netflix’s support throughout that process helps maintain one vision from start to finish,” said Carolina Rivera, showrunner of Love 9 to 5.

“The support and empowerment of creators by the studios’ creative team is very important, there must always be a lot of collaboration. This allows us to understand characters with very specific life stories and develop content that is able to reach all audiences,” added Gerardo Gatica, Producer of Santita.

The new series add to the already announced Mexican series to be released in 2025: Snakes and Ladders, The Dead Girls, How to Win the Lottery, The Gringo Hunters, Unspeakable Sins and No One Saw Us Leave. All of these series have been produced in different states of Mexico.
