Netflix opened new office in Buenos Aires on Tuesday and unveiled its ‘Made In Argentina’ film and television slate for 2026 and 2027 featuring new work from Santiago Mitre, Ricardo Darín, and Pablo Larraín.
The office located in the capital’s Villa Crespo district comes eight years after Netflix began local-language production in Argentina and opened its first office in 2021.
The larger office expands the local team and will house approximately 40 to 50 staffers. Netflix also has hubs in Mexico and Brazil.
The 2026 feature slate will see Darín star as a pragmatic psychoanalyst with a unique approach in A Good Therapist (Lo Dejamos Acá) from director Hernán Goldfrid. Production took place around Buenos Aires and the cast includes Diego Peretti.
Álex de la Iglesia’s Congratulations (Felicidades), and adaptation of Mariano Pensotti’s stage comedy, arrives at the end of the year and stars Adrián Suar and Griselda Siciliani. Rise And The Wind Phone (Risa y La Cabina Del Viento) will be available after a theatrical run and shot in the southern archipelago Tierra del Fuego.
Netflix will drop the documentary Emi Martínez: The Kid Who Stops Time in the run-up to the World Cup this summer, focusinfg on the Argentina and Aston Villa goalkeeper.
The 2027 slate includes Santiago Mitre’s untitled political thriller that began filming in Buenos Aires last month. Mitre, whose Argentina, 1985 earned an Oscar nomination in 2023, co-wrote the screenplay with Mariano Llinás and the feature stars Verónica Llinás and Peter Lanzani.
On the television side, highlights include Pablo Larraín’s supernatural horror miniseries My Sad Dead, which debuts later this year and is based on the short stories of Mariana Enriquez. The four episodes shot mostly in Argentina as well as Santiago, Chile. The cast is led by Mercedes Morán and Dolores Fonzi, whose Belén was made it onto the Oscar shortlist last season.
The pipeline includes the thriller Gordon from directors Pablo Trapero and Pablo Fendrik based on the novel by Marcelo Larraquy and starring Rodrigo de la Serna; fictional series Moria (August 14) inspired by the life of the former cabaret dancer Moria Casán and starring Griselda Siciliani, Cecilia Roth, and Sofía Gala Castiglione; and Sebastián Borensztein’s miniseries based on his novel The Russian, which stars Chino Darín and shot mostly in Argentina, with exterior shots wrapping on Monday (April 6) in Prague.
Development is underway on the previously-announced second season of Darín sci-fi adaptation The Eternaut, and production continues on two 2027 releases: Juan José Campanella’s adaptation of the celebrated comic strip Mafalda, and The Future Is Ours, a dystopian miniseries based on Philip K. Dick’s The World Jones Made.
“Argentina has become a key player in our regional strategy thanks to its audiovisual heritage, creative prowess, and ability to tell local stories whose significance and impact make them universal,” Francisco Ramos, Netflix vice president of content for Latin America, said.
