Madrid Solidifies Status as Europe's Premier Production Hub with Surge in Co-Productions

As of September 2025, Madrid has solidified its status as a premier European production hub, hosting a surge in high-profile international co-productions. The Spanish capital has seen a significant increase in co-productions, particularly with Latin-American partners, over the past few years.

Madrid's robust audiovisual ecosystem, which includes over 3,500 companies and more than 30,000 professionals, has been a key driver of this growth. The city's ability to serve as a chameleon-like filming location, doubling for cities like Buenos Aires, Paris, or Mexico, has further expanded its appeal to global productions.

The "Netflix effect" has also played a pivotal role in elevating Madrid's production capabilities. The global streamer's landmark series "Money Heist" ("La casa de papel") showcased the city's potential to deliver high-quality international productions, paving the way for further investment in filming infrastructure and the development of studios like Secuoya Studios in Tres Campos.

Looking ahead, Madrid's film office remains committed to strengthening the city's image as a friendly and competitive destination for international productions, while also focusing on developing sustainable filming practices. The city's continued support for industry events and initiatives, such as Iberseries & Platino Industria, further solidifies its position as a hub for collaboration and co-production opportunities.
