- Skydance and Movistar Plus are expanding their strategic alliance with a new co-branded originals initiative, building on Skydance's existing distribution arrangement on the Spanish platform.
- Movistar Plus is identified as the biggest Spanish pay TV/SVOD operator, and the new agreement is structured as a two-year deal.
- The deal extends the relationship from pure distribution into original content production, with series to carry both HBO Max and M+ (Movistar Plus) branding per the announcement.
- Both Deadline's coverage and the source describe the expansion as a coup for both parties, reflecting the strategic value each side brings — distribution scale for Skydance, premium content pipeline for Movistar Plus.
Why it matters: The two-year structure gives Skydance a production foothold inside Spain's largest pay TV platform and gives Movistar Plus a premium co-branded originals pipeline under the HBO Max umbrella. For Spanish subscribers, it means new locally-produced premium content backed by a defined-term commitment from both sides.
