MADRID — Lionsgate+ has released the trailer for its Nacho Vidal biopic series, “Nacho.”
The studio, formerly known as Starzplay, will premiere “Nacho” on March 3 across Latin America, Variety reported yesterday.
As XBIZ reported, the co-production between Lionsgate+ and Spanish production outfit Bambú Producciones — described as “a darkly comic original series” — wrapped production last July.
Variety noted that besides chronicling the rise of Spain’s transatlantic adult superstar, “Nacho” also tells “the story of the people behind the country’s porn industry, which generates an estimated €500 million ($545 million) per year.”
The mainstream showbiz trade publication wrote that the series “builds as a left-of-center edgy hymn to freedom, people’s liberty to carve out the lives they want to lead, pursuing their dreams, however unusual.”
“Nacho” is helmed by three noted directors: David Pinillos (“Cable Girls”), Beatriz Sanchis (“The Gigantes,” “Rebolucion”) and Eduardo Casanova (“La Pietà”).
The series stars Martiño Rivas as Vidal and María de Nati as “the real life Sara Bernat, a sex worker who discovers Nacho’s extraordinary talents and takes him to perform in an onstage sex show at Barcelona’s Sala Bagdad,” Variety reported in July.
The series was co-written by Fernández-Valdés, Gema R. Neira, María José Rustarazo and Flora G. Villanueva, and produced in association with Spanish production company La Claqueta.
