Mediapro is continuing to increase its international footprint, having been chosen by HBO and Netflix for their projects debuting in 2018.

Subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) leader Netflix has tapped Mediapro for its second film produced in Spain, Fe de erratas. Still without a final release date, the streaming company plans a worldwide premiere across the 190 countries in which it is available.

Directed and written by well known names within the Spanish industry - Borja Cobeaga (Negociador) and Diego San José (Ocho apellidos vascos) - the film stars Javier Cámara, Julián López, Miren Ibarguren and Gorka Otxoa.

In addition to Netflix, HBO has chosen Mediapro for the spin-off of The Young Pope, in which the Barcelona-based production house had also participated. For The New Pope, Mediapro will work alongside SKY, HBO and Wildside.

Witten and directed by the award-winning director Paolo Sorrentino, The New Pope will be released worldwide in 2018, although FremantleMedia (responsible for international distribution) has not yet disclosed any agreement.
