Uruguay is carving out a growing role in the global screen industry. Over the past year alone, Colour by GRUP MEDIAPRO — the group's dedicated post‑production arm — has delivered finishing work on 20 titles. From its Montevideo studios, the team has handled standout projects including the Oscar‑contending Argentine film ‘Belén’ (Prime Video), the Netflix series ‘Maledictions’, and the ViX documentary ‘Laura Bozzo’.
Outfitted with cutting-edge technology and designed to handle up to five projects simultaneously, the Montevideo studios oversee every stage of the post-production process — from initial workflows to final delivery. Colour by GRUP MEDIAPRO also partners with some of the region’s most prominent production houses, including Cimarrón, K&S, Landia, Pampa Films, Oficina Burman, and Trailer Films — fostering a creative ecosystem built on collaboration.
With more than 25 years of experience across the Americas, GRUP MEDIAPRO plays an active role in driving the country’s audiovisual sector forward. A recent milestone is the launch of its new virtual production facility in Uruguay, which has already hosted shoots for the latest two music videos by local band No Te Va Gustar.
AMC Networks to release the series in Portugal in 2026
The Icelandic thriller ‘Reykjavík Fusion’, distributed internationally by The Mediapro Studio Distribution, has just premiered in Spain on AMC+. AMC Networks has also secured the rights for Portugal, where the series is slated for release in 2026.
Recently featured at Serielizados Fest, ‘Reykjavík Fusion’ arrives in Spain backed by glowing reviews from major international festivals. Following its world premiere at Canneseries, the show has also been showcased at Series Mania (Buyers Upfront section), MIPCOM, MIP Cancun, and Content Americas.
The series marks the first production from ACT4, the Icelandic company launched in late 2022, in co-production with Arte (France and Germany), Wild Sheep Content (partially owned by THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO), and Iceland’s SKOT Productions. It is created by Hörður Rúnarsson (‘As Long As We Live’, ‘Black Sands’, ‘Fractures’, ‘Ordinary People’), executive producer and founder of ACT4, alongside Icelandic writer Birkir Blær Ingólfsson (‘The Minister’, ‘Thin Ice’), ACT4’s head of development.
Blending striking Nordic-noir aesthetics with a sharp narrative edge, ‘Reykjavík Fusion’ has been described as a cross between ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Bear’. Elegantly shot and rich with unexpected twists, the series mixes high-stakes drama with dark humor and emotion, fusing the worlds of haute cuisine and organized crime — all set against the stark beauty of Iceland. At the center of the story is a compelling antihero, fighting to reclaim his life as his dream spirals into nightmare.
The series directors are the Icelandic duo Samúel & Gunnar – Samúel Bjarki Pétursson and Gunnar Páll Ólafsson– acclaimed for their innovative narratives and the creation of iconic adverts which they’ve won multiple awards for and nominations at the Cannes Lions, Effie Awards, British Arrow Awards, Addy Awards events among many other awards galas.
‘Reykjavík Fusion’ revolves around the talented chef Jónas, who after being wrongly imprisoned, tries to rebuild his relationship with his family. Rejected by society, he accepts money from dubious sources to open a restaurant, which involves him in a risky money-laundering operation which puts his bail terms in jeopardy and his life and the life of his family in danger.

The space blends light installations, sound design, projections, and interactive elements to create a dynamic and magical atmosphere—combining creativity, storytelling, and a sense of place. During the opening, the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, toured the installation and highlighted how water and holiday spirit come together to create a unique Christmas experience in the heart of the city.

In theatres January 30, 2026
Aídamania is well on the rise with the launch of the official poster for ‘Aída y Vuelta, the feature film bringing the beloved series Aída to the big screen on January 30, 2026.
Alongside it, a Video Clip reveals how the visual identity was conceived, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind the rebooted look of Paco León’s unique universe. León, who directs the film and co-wrote the screenplay with Fer Pérez, stays true to the bold social and cultural spirit of the original series while underscoring its continued relevance and freshness two decades later.
Created by the Team SOPA, the poster captures the film’s tone —cheeky, heartfelt, and instantly recognizable.
This new poster follows the recently released teaser poster, which featured the iconic characters’ faces, and a series of individual character posters introducing the main cast of ‘Aída y vuelta’ for the first time.
Distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment Iberia, ‘Aída y vuelta’ is produced by Globomedia (THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO) and Telecinco Cinema, in collaboration with Mediaset España, Mediterráneo Mediaset España Group, and Prime Video, where the movie will be available following its theatrical release. Producers include Laura Fernández Espeso and Javier Méndez for Globomedia (THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO), and Ghislain Barrois and Álvaro Augustin for Telecinco Cinema.
The cast brings together the iconic ensemble of Carmen Machi, Paco León, Miren Ibarguren, Mariano Peña, Eduardo Casanova, Pepe Viyuela, Melani Olivares, Canco Rodríguez, Secun de la Rosa, David Castillo, Marisol Ayuso, Pepa Rus, Óscar Reyes and Adrián Gordillo, alongside a total of 96 characters. Many of these roles were filled through an open online casting call launched earlier this year via the movie’s official Instagram account, @Aidalapeli, which has already surpassed 100,000 followers.
‘Aída y vuelta’ blends fiction and metafiction to tell the story of a behind-the-scenes shoot for a new episode of the iconic series. The film plays with its characters and the actors who portray them, on and off camera, offering a playful but pointed reflection on the boundaries of comedy, the role of comedians, and the nature of fame.
The Mediapro Studio Distribution handles the film’s international distribution rights.
Gerardo Minutti’s feature debut, a co-production between Cimarrón (THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO) and Cinevinay, emerges as the night’s big winner
The debut feature by Uruguayan filmmaker Gerardo Minutti, ‘Perros’, produced by Cimarrón (THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO) and Cinevinay, swept the Uruguayan Film Critics Association (ACCU) Awards, taking home seven out of fourteen nominations, the most wins and nods of any film at this year’s ceremony.
Among the accolades: Best Uruguayan Film, Best Debut Feature, Best Actress (María Elena Pérez), Best Cinematography (Matías Lasarte), and three individual awards for Gerardo Minutti, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and the Breakthrough Award, solidifying his role as one of the standout figures of the evening.
'Perros' has also been selected by the Spanish Film Academy as one of the candidates competing for a Goya nomination for Best Ibero-American Film at the 40th edition of the awards, set to be held in Barcelona on February 28. The film had its international premiere at the Málaga Film Festival, where it earned the Silver Biznaga for Best Supporting Actress (María Elena Pérez).
Since its theatrical release in Uruguay on September 25 and in Argentina in November, 'Perros' has continued to build momentum, with appearances at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, Havana Film Festival, Cineuropa (Spain), the São Paulo International Film Festival, and the Uruguay International Film Festival, among others.
A co-production between Uruguay and Argentina, 'Perros' is a gripping, slow-burn drama written by Minutti. The film stars acclaimed Uruguayan actor Néstor Guzzini (‘Mr. Kaplan’, ‘Tanta Agua’), alongside Marcelo Subiotto (‘Puan’, ‘The Message’), María Elena Pérez (‘Barrabrava’), Roberto Suárez (‘Yosi, The Regretful Spy’), Noelia Campo (‘Burnt Money’), and Catalina Arrillaga (‘Togo’).
Shot entirely in Montevideo, the story follows the Saldaña family during what begins as an uneventful summer, house- and dog-sitting for their neighbors, the Pernas. But when the family begins to take liberties with their temporary role, and the neighbors' dog goes missing, tensions between the two households spiral into a psychological and increasingly hostile standoff.
Colour by GRUP MEDIAPRO handled the post-production pipeline, including lab work, postproduction design, look development, color grading, and final mastering.
The film was made with support from Uruguay’s National Film and Audiovisual Agency (ACAU), Argentina’s National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA), the Uruguay Audiovisual Program (PUA), Cultural Incentive Funds (FIC), MVD Filma, MVD Socio from the Montevideo City Council, and Ibermedia. In 2019, 'Perros' was selected for the Europe–Latin America Co-Production Forum at the San Sebastián Film Festival.
