What are the main challenges you face and hope to overcome with this new studio?

“Well, Mexico City is my second home, it was obvious to do the study there. More than anything because it is a market that is growing a lot with streamers, with new channels, with new opportunities to be able to produce. I live between Los Angeles and Mexico City.»

“Excited, we launched the office on May 5 of this year, we launched the company in January and already in these nine months we have done many things. We produce a hub for LOL where we have been creating new formats. We are working with formats in the bookstore and I am very busy.”

The new season of LOL is not only going to be from Mexico, it’s going to be from other countries. How will that work?

“We created a production hub, basically we recorded three different seasons, super different. What we did was that I hired a great team of producers and content people from the territories, not only from Mexico, but I did bring people from Argentina and also from Colombia to be able to have that essence of comedy, because it is very important to have it.”

“I am the showrunner since the second season of LOL. Now having six that we have produced and I am not Mexican. It is always important to always listen to the culture and listen to the producers and have that essence that makes this so beautiful and so important for the regions. We finished recording LOL México 5th season with Eugenio Derbez, we recorded LOL the first season in Colombia with Jorge Enrique Abello, the actor from Betty la fea, it’s divine. And with Susana Giménez for the first season in Argentina. it was a busy summer, but very good.” Filed Under: Marie Leguizamo LOL
