Manolo Cardona’s latest project is making streaming history…
The 43-year-old Colombian actor’s Mexican thriller series Who Killed Sara? has become Netflix’s most popular non-English language title ever with an estimated 55M subscribers tuning in since its launch last month.
The series stars Cardona as Alex Guzman, a man hellbent on finding out who killed his sister Sara after spending 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit and on getting revenge on the Lazcano family.
It launched on March 24 and the streamer revealed the figures as part of its first quarter financial results.
Other international highlights include feature film Below Zero from Spain, which was watched by 47M in its first four weeks.
“Another goal is to create great, locally authentic stories in countries all around the world. It’s why our priority for local language titles is to have a big impact in the home territory so we don’t sacrifice local impact for travelability. But we’re increasingly seeing that these local titles find significant audiences around the world, which supports our thesis that great stories are universal: they can come from anywhere and be loved everywhere,” it noted.
