CASA GRANDE (Freevee, New!) - The streamer has landed the U.S. rights to ESX Entertainment's bilingual limited series "that follows the tales of California's hardworking, often undocumented migrant workforce, as well as the wealthy landowners in Northern California." Lauren Swickard and Ali Afshar are behind the five-episode series, due on May 1, which was directed by Gabriela Tagliavini and stars John Pyper-Ferguson, Christina Moore, Madison Lawlor, Karen Bethzabe, Javier Bolaños, Raquel Dominguez, James Marsters, Kate Mansi, Daniel Edward Mora, Loren Escandon and Ali Afshar.
