Domingo Corral Joins HBO Max for New Series

Domingo Corral, previously the head of original content at Movistar Plus+, has officially announced an exclusive overall first-look TV deal with HBO Max. This move follows his departure from Movistar Plus+ in 2025, an exit that prompted significant support from the Spanish creative community. Corral expressed his enthusiasm for finding a "new home" at HBO Max, emphasizing a shared vision and passion for quality television production.

His new independent production banner, backed by the Warner Bros. Discovery streamer, is set to bring high-caliber Spanish series to a global audience. The first project under this new deal is the series titled 'El Nani.' This series is set in the 1980s and will delve into the story of a minor criminal falsely accused during Spain's pivotal transition from fascism to democracy. It is slated to be written and directed by the acclaimed duo Alberto Rodríguez and Rafael Cobos.

Corral plans to maintain a focused approach, collaborating with the best Spanish creative talent he previously worked with. However, he also recognizes the opportunity to create series rooted in Spain's political and cultural reality that possess the potential for worldwide appeal. He sees this as a significant chance for Spanish narratives to reach a global audience through HBO Max, a streamer now under the umbrella of Paramount Skydance. The recent multiyear deal for Casey Bloys to oversee HBO Max and Paramount+ further enhances Corral's optimism about the future of these platforms.
