This led to the commissioning of ambitious, high-budget productions like Narcos (and its Mexico spin-off) and the Colombian period drama One Hundred Years of Solitude, proving that Spanish-language narratives could command the same prestige and budget as their English counterparts. Spanish-language theater has a rich tradition, with many
