History

Historical Context

In August 2015 Netflix released Narcos, a ten-episode drama costing about $25 million ($2.5 million per episode) that brought Colombian drug-war stories to worldwide viewers. Its success showed demand for Spanish-language originals, a trend Netflix has followed since starting original productions in 2007. Prime Video’s 2026 adaptation of Isabel Allende’s *The House of the Spirits*, produced by Allende and Eva Longoria, continues this cross-border strategy.
