Among the first productions to be carried will be two projects from HBO: Outpost, a ten-episode series combining journalism and adventure; and Hate in America, an investigative journalism report, presented by Univision’s Jorge Ramos, about recent hate crimes in the US.

Univision Story House will be supervised by Camila Jiménez Villa, who has also been appointed president and content director of Fusion Media Group. Juan Rendón will be the creative director, and Christian Gabela has been named VP and GM.

“There are many untold stories about Latin America and the US inter-cultural experience,” said Rendón. “Thanks to the different backgrounds and roots of our team, we will tell these stories in the most authentic way.”

“Our main goal is to become a content reference for an emerging population group in the US, independently of brands, platforms or languages,” added Jiménez Villa.
