- Prime Video originals rankings for June 15-21 are dominated by five Culpables/Fault films, with Your Fault: London at No. 1, My Fault: London at No. 3, Culpa Nuestra at No. 6, Culpa Mia at No. 7, and Culpa Tuya at No. 9
- Mercedes Ron's New York Times bestselling book trilogy has been adapted into three Spanish-language films (starring Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara, produced by Banijay's Pokeepsie Films) and two English-language London remakes (starring Asha Banks and Matthew Broome), with a third English movie already filmed
- Nicole Wallace has signed a talent deal with Amazon MGM Studios since starring in the Spanish originals, while Wallace and Guevara led Culpa Mia, Culpa Tuya, and Culpa Nuestra
- The Culpables franchise topped 100 million viewers worldwide and became Prime Video's most-watched International Originals globally, per Deadline's earlier reporting, though Prime Video only releases rankings rather than specific viewing figures
- Prime Video has established a 'House of Ron' to adapt Mercedes Ron's broader work, with Nicole Clemens (now Head of International Originals) overseeing the push, starting with Together (Marfil) — the first film in Ron's two-book Enfrentados series — dropping September 9
- Ron has written a fourth book, 'Culpa Vuestra,' and Prime Video and the author remain tight-lipped on whether a fourth film adaptation will follow
Why it matters: Prime Video's YA bet on Mercedes Ron's work has now crossed 100 million worldwide viewers and occupied five of its top 10 global slots in a single week — a concrete competitive signal against Netflix and Disney+ in the international YA space, where Prime Video is now formalizing the strategy under a dedicated 'House of Ron' and new International Originals head Nicole Clemens.
