Key deals include agreements with ARTE France, Disney+ in Latin America, RAI (Italy) and Channel 4 (United Kingdom).
Movistar Plus+ International, the distribution arm of Movistar Plus+, presented on Tuesday, September 30, during the fifth edition of Iberseries & Platino Industria, a series of sales and co-production agreements marking a new milestone in the international journey of Movistar Plus+ original fiction titles.

Agreement with ARTE France
European cultural broadcaster ARTE France has become a key partner for original fiction series, having recently confirmed its participation in Matar a un oso, currently in production.
In addition, ARTE France is also a co-producer of Anatomía de un instante, the new series from Alberto Rodríguez, premiering in Spain on November 20, starring Álvaro Morte, Eduard Fernández and Manolo Solo.
ARTE France will also premiere in November Los años nuevos, directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, adding to its lineup of Movistar Plus+ originals such as La Mesías and Querer, both of which achieved remarkable audience success.
