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. Other executive producers include Ava Rettke and Daniel Aspromonte. (Variety.com)

HAN RIVER POLICE (Disney+, New!) - Kwon Sang-woo and Kim Hee-won will topline an action comedy series for the streamer which stars the former as Han Dujin, "the hot-tempered sergeant of the Han River Police Force who holds back for nobody, while Kim plays Lee Chunseok, a laid-back lieutenant with the exact opposite personality. Stuck together on patrol of Seoul's Han River, the two officers are faced with emergency situations ranging from terrorism to everyday accidents and other incidents requiring emergency assistance - a premise that suggests all of the action, humor and offbeat crime-solving of the classic buddy cop genre." Shin Hyeon-seung, Lee Sang-yi and Bae Da-bin also star. No other auspices were given. (THR.com)
