15 Years, 15 Stories: Netflix Celebrates Its Anniversary in Mexico With New Mexican Productions: Netflix is marking 15 years in Mexico with the announcement of 15 new Mexican productions, spanning films, series, documentaries and unscripted entertainment, as the streaming giant celebrates its growing partnership with the country’s creative industry.
Netflix said it has produced and co-produced more than 200 titles in Mexico between 2016 and 2025, working with more than 50 Mexican production companies. Its productions have been filmed in more than 100 cities and towns across the country, while generating an economic contribution of more than 50 billion Mexican pesos (over US$2.7 billion) to Mexico’s GDP, according to the company.
The anniversary also marks a major milestone in Netflix’s relationship with Mexican storytelling. In 2015, the platform launched Club de Cuervos, its first original production outside the United States, opening the door to a decade of Mexican stories, talent and productions reaching audiences around the world.
15 New Mexican Stories
The newly announced slate covers a wide range of genres and subjects. Among the films are Surviving Hurricane Otis, directed by Jorge Michel Grau; Counterattack, the latest installment in the action franchise; El enemigo del pueblo, directed by Luis Estrada; 35 días, directed by Kyzza Terrazas; and Ashes, directed by actor-filmmaker Diego Luna.
The television lineup includes Dogman, Un tipo de cuidado, La madre perfecta, and Season 6 of Rosario Tijeras.
Netflix is also expanding its documentary offering with projects including Canelo Álvarez, following boxer Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez; Liliana’s Invincible Summer, based on the book by Liliana Rivera Garza; Marcos. Another World Is Possible, exploring the Zapatista movement; and Keiko, about the famous orca and a controversial attempt to return her to the ocean.
The slate also includes Physical 100: Mexico, a reality competition featuring 100 participants, and Million Dollar Secret, an unscripted format built around strategy, deception and competition for a million-dollar prize.
Growing Mexican Creative Economy
Netflix highlighted the scale of the production ecosystem it has helped develop in Mexico. More than 15,000 cast and crew members have worked on its Mexican productions, alongside more than 20,000 extras and other daily hires. Approximately half of the filming locations have been outside Mexico City, taking productions to destinations including Guadalajara, Puerto Escondido, San Miguel de Allende, Boca del Río, Hermosillo and Tijuana.
“Celebrating 15 years in Mexico fills us with pride, but above all, with infinite gratitude to the creative community and to the millions of Mexicans who enjoy our content every day,” said Carolina Leconte, VP of Content for Mexico and Licensing for Latin America at Netflix.
Leconte said the new productions celebrate Netflix’s history in Mexico while opening the door to new genres, voices and ways of telling Mexican stories.
Mexico’s Growing Role in Global Streaming
Netflix’s anniversary announcement underscores Mexico’s increasingly important role in the global streaming landscape. Beyond serving as a production hub, the country has become a source of stories, filmmakers and talent reaching international audiences.
With 15 new productions now joining its upcoming Mexican slate, Netflix is betting that the next chapter of its Mexican story will be driven by local talent, diverse genres and stories capable of travelling far beyond Mexico’s borders.
