\n\tNetflix<\/a> has half a dozen new projects coming out of Mexico<\/a> including a doc on boxing star Sa\u00fal \u2018Canelo\u2019 \u00c1lvarez, a local version of the Physical 100 reality competition format, and coverage of Supernova: Genesis, a live event where influencers, celebrities, YouTube stars and comedians compete in boxing matches. There is also a new movie and a CBS Studios-produced series on the slate, as well as fresh casting news on other projects.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix boss\u00a0Ted Sarandos<\/a>\u00a0said last year that the streamer will splash $1B on Mexican originals over four years. We can now see where some of that cash is going.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Canelo \u00c1lvarez feature-doc follows the fighter preparing for a defining fight against Gennady \u2018GGG\u2019 Golovkin, and as he faces doubts, criticism and pressure to reaffirm his place in Mexican boxing history. Supernova: Genesis, meanwhile, comes after the Supernova Strikers amateur boxing event, which saw celebs and streamers squaring up. Coverage of Supernova: Genesis will mark the first time Netflix has shown a live event out of Latin America. It will take place in front of 22,000 spectators.<\/p>\n

\n\tPer the above, pugilism is to the fore, but is not the only sports-flavored news on the streamer\u2019s Mexican slate. Netflix fleshed out the cast for M\u00e9xico 86, the Diego Luna starrer <\/a>about how the country landed the soccer World Cup. Karla Souza, Daniel Gim\u00e9nez Cacho, \u00c1lvaro Guerrero will join Luna in the Gaumont USA-produced movie. Not sports as such, but certainly getting physical, Endemol Shine Boomdog will make Physical 100: Mexico, a local version of that hit show.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, CBS Studios is producing drama series La Le De Alicia (Alicia\u2019s Law) with TIS Estudios. The series follows the titular Alicia. Her world falls apart when her husband, a Supreme Court Justice Minister, is imprisoned for corruption. With kids to care for and bills to pay, Alicia must resume her career as a lawyer. The other new series on the slate is family drama El Otro Padre (The Other Father).<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the movie side, there is La Captura (Takedown), about a pair of highway patrol cops. It follows events after they pull over a stolen car. What seems to be a routine stop brings them face to face with one of the most dangerous criminals in the world. Chava Cartas (Counterattack) directs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are excited to discover new ways of storytelling in Mexico,\u201d said Carolina Leconte, VP Content Mexico and Regional Licensing. \u201cIn 2026, we will launch an unparalleled variety of stories that explore new perspectives and genres, driven by the creativity and passion of the best Mexican talent. From epic dramas to comedies, adventures, action, and the best in live entertainment. These titles not only reflect our culture but also celebrate who we are and leave their mark, building collective memory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix has half a dozen new projects coming out of Mexico including a doc on boxing star Sa\u00fal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":426808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,5051,43266,1072,1316,82],"class_list":["post-426807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canelo-alvarez","tag-diego-luna","tag-mexico","tag-netflix","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/426808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
