Netflix Novelas Put a New Spin on a Beloved Format

Roberto Stopello VP Content, Latin America

For many of us, novelas are synonymous with entertainment in Latin America and have paved the way for much of the storytelling we create today. These onscreen tales, or "festival of emotions" as I like to call them, touch on universal truths, often holding up a mirror to our daily lives (albeit slightly more dramatic at times), and offer a window to another world through stories rooted in passion, mystery, intrigue and drama. And I'm happy to share that in 2022, there will be plenty more stories to explore through an exciting slate of upcoming Netflix novelas.

A Netflix novela pairs the best of series with the best of novelas - taking so much of what we love from the novelas we grew up watching, combined with the edge, pace and freedom of the streaming world.

Just like the classic novelas we love, Netflix novelas are built with dramatic elements at their core while also tackling contemporary themes and modern issues, for example, ¿Quién mató a Sara? is a high stakes family drama that also delves into the difficult journey of surrogacy; Rebelde is a classic coming-of-age story that also features modern takes on relationships; and while Madre solo hay dos has some outrageous storylines, it makes us think about motherhood in new ways. The result is something that feels new, yet familiar.

We are excited to keep innovating within this genre while paying homage to its rich heritage with these upcoming releases.

WHO KILLED SARA? S3

Release date: June 1

New talent confirmed for the third season: Rebecca Jones, Jean Reno Just when we thought we knew who planned to have Sara killed, everything changed during the final scene of the second season when Nicandro mentions that it was not Marifer but "us" who killed her.

PÁLPITO
