La división de Engine Entertainment dirigida al mundo hispano presentó su nuevo contenido -a cargo de los populares mexicanos Aisemberg y Bucay- para el canal de YouTube NuevOn, lanzado recientemente por Electus.
Engine Latino, división de Engine Entertainment -compañía fundada y dirigida por Chris Philip- enfocada en el mercado hispanohablante de TV, ha anunciado que comenzó la producción de La Gran Royal, una serie cómica del reconocido dúo de escritores y directores mexicanos Marcos Bucay y Moisés Aisemberg, para el nuevo canal hispano de YouTube NuevOn. Este canal ha sido lanzado el pasado 16 de abril por Electus, el estudio de producción y distribución de Ben Silverman, y Latin World Entertainment, la compañía hispana de producción, gestión y marketing de Luis Balaguer.
La Gran Royal es un programa semanal dirigido a los jóvenes latinos, que incluye parodias de videos musicales y situaciones irreverentes, ridículas y de comedia. Los videos virales de Aisemberg y Bucay ya son conocidos alrededor del mundo, con decenas de millones de vistas. Su logro de derribar las barreras de la comedia hispana convencional se refleja en los premios obtenidos y en su sólida base de fans en redes sociales. Ahora, esta plataforma digital se presenta como un espacio ideal para sus videos, que podrán llegar a nuevas audiencias y en una escala mucho mayor. La Gran Royal estrenará un nuevo episodio cada martes en NuevOn.
"NuevOn dará a los hispanos de EEUU y latinos del mundo contenidos de entretenimiento de calidad mundial", dijo Luis Balaguer, fundador y CEO de Latin World Entertainment. "Pero lo más importante es que NuevOn también se convertirá en una incubadora de talentos, productores y formatos que trascenderán en otros medios". "Estamos encantados de estar trabajando con el equipo de La Gran Royal, y emociona estar ofreciendo uno de los primeros contenidos de NuevOn", agregó Paulette Bensussen, directora ejecutiva de Engine Latino.

Averaging 1.3 million viewers in each of its first five weeks on the air, "Mob Wives" has just been picked up by VH1 for a second season and a reunion special after only five episodes.
"Electus' focus is to produce and distribute premiere content across every platform for the very best partners worldwide," said Ben Silverman, CEO and founder of Electus.

"Mob Wives," created by Jennifer Graziano of JustJenn Productions and co-executive produced by Electus and The Weinstein Company (TWC), gives viewers an unfiltered look into this closed-door society of Renee, Karen, Carla and Drita, four struggling "allegedly" associated women who have to pick up the pieces and carry on while their husbands or fathers do time for Mob-related activities. United by a bond which few understand, the women are all struggling with their identities and their futures as they raise their kids as single parents. "Mob Wives" can be seen currently on VH1 on Sunday nights at 8:00pm et/pt. Season two is slated to premiere this fall.
"We are thrilled that not only the U.S., but the global marketplace as a whole has really embraced 'Mob Wives.' While the situation of the women featured in the series is unique, their compelling, real-life stories have a universal appeal that is clearly resonating in markets around the world," said Chris Philip, President of Electus/Engine Distribution. "We are proud to bring this groundbreaking series to the world and look forward to adding tremendous range to our rapidly growing slate of international programming."
