The company also includes Turkish dramas (Sunshine Girls and Fallen Apart) and Latin American and Mexican films such as Angeles Inc. 

Francisco Villanueva stated: “In addition to our catalog, we are happy with our offering at the event, which includes exclusive content from our group and other companies with recognized experience. MIPCOM, as always, is an important market where important news are said, and we will surely participate in this dynamic.”

 Súbete a Mi Moto is the expected series that will finish filming by the end of this year. This biographical series of the so-called youth band ‘Menudo’ tells the story of the group since its beginnings in 1977, its rise to international fame until its dissolution. SOMOS Productions, Endemol Shine Boomdog and Piñolywood Studios form the production team. Súbete a Mi Moto will have 15 episodes of 60 minutes each and is currently being produced in Mexico and Puerto Rico.  

SOMOS Distribution will also present Juegos Interrumpidos, produced by SOMOS Productions and the Mexican production company Fenixx. The series of 30 episodes of 60 minutes each narrates the story of the delicate situation that occurs on the border of Mexico with the United States, the human-trafficking business. Karen, the main character, is a Californian mother who has a perfect marriage, but it is impossible for her to have children so the couple decide to adopt a child of Mexican origin. Over the years, Karen discovers that her adopted son came to her by a violent act of kidnapping and trafficking of minors. Karen begins an investigation to find her son's family and uncover the gang. What Karen does not know is that her husband can be one of the accused.

Somos Distribution will also offer: the famous and successful series Hasta Que te Conocí (the biography of the singer Juan Gabriel), a duo of Turkish dramas Sunshine Girls and Fallen Apart, the acclaimed late-night show Baily and the films Memorias de un Soldado (a Venezuelan period movie) and the Mexican film Angeles Inc.
