Prime Video announces today its agreement with Televisa Univision for the inclusion of the series El Chavo e El Chapulín in the Latin American catalog, in the second half of the year. Except in Mexico, the licensing ensures the debut of all episodes on streaming, totaling over 500 episodes of the productions. The two iconic pop culture series developed by Roberto Gómez Bolaños have become television classics, and will be the latest additions to the Amazon Prime subscription. Prime members in Brazil enjoy savings, convenience, and entertainment, all in a single subscription.
Created in the 70s and with a legion of fans around the world, especially in Brazil, El Chavo tells the story of a humble and clumsy young boy who grows up in a small village alongside his friends Chiquinha and Kiko, as they deal with everyday situations with lots of humor.
In the same universe, El Chapulín follows the adventures of Chapolin Colorado, an insecure superhero who uses his wit and unconventional powers to fight his villains. With different plots in each episode, the series combines the characteristic humor of Bolaños’ productions with social critique and satire of American superheroes. The casts of the productions include Roberto Gómez Bolaños, María Antonieta de las Nieves, Carlos Villagrán, Florinda Meza, Ramón Valdés, Edgar Vivar, Rubén Aguirre, Angelines Fernández, among others.
