“We know our Prime Video audiences across Latin America are eager for local shows,” said James Farrell, Head of International Amazon Originals, Amazon Studios. Content will be available on Prime Video throughout the world.

Announced titles are La Jauría (a thriller) and Colonia Dignidad (a docuseries), both produced in Chile; Iosi, El Espía Arrepentido (a thriller), produced in Argentina, and Noticia de un Secuestro (based on a book by Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez). Shooting of the four series will start in 2020.
