ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS), a division of ViacomCBS, announced an exclusive deal with award-winning writer and director Juan José Campanella. This agreement comes on the heels of the studio's successful first-look deal with Campanella's production company, 100 Bares Productions.

In JC Acosta I found a great leader and it's amazing to develop great projects with creative, committed, and fun people. I am sure many good things will come out of this partnership,"  Juan José Campanella added.

Among Campanella’s notable feature films are “El Mismo Amor,” “La Misma Lluvia,” “El Hijo de la Novia,” “Luna de Avellaneda,” “El Secreto de sus Ojos,” and “Metegol”.
