The collaboration builds on their long-standing relationship and reinforces both companies’ commitment to expanding their storytelling reach across the U.S., Brazil, and global content markets.
“This collaboration marks an important step in expanding our storytelling reach and building a creative bridge between Brazil and the broader Hispanic world,” said Javier Pons, Chief Content Officer & Head of Telemundo Studios, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises. “With our unique expertise and ability to produce content that resonates globally, this partnership is going to strengthen our editorial alignment and paves the way for premium scripted projects that connect with audiences across borders.”

Under the MoU, Globo and Telemundo will collaborate on the development and co-production of original films and series to be released as Globoplay Originals in Brazil and across Telemundo’s broadcast and streaming platforms in the U.S. While titles, formats, and production models are still being defined, the focus is on creating high-value intellectual property (IP) with broad international appeal.
