What EndemolShine Boomdog does

EndemolShine Boomdog is a Mexico-based content production company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Banijay Americas, producing scripted and unscripted Spanish-language content for broadcasters and streaming platforms across Mexico, the U.S. Hispanic market, and Latin America. The company generates over 1,000 hours of original content annually, with a portfolio spanning flagship unscripted formats — La Casa de los Famosos (produced for both Telemundo/Peacock in the U.S. and TelevisaUnivision in Mexico), MasterChef México (including the innovative MasterChef 24/7 live format), ¿Quién es la Máscara?, and Divina Comida México — and scripted drama series such as the award-winning Como Agua para Chocolate for HBO Max and Volver a Caer. Production operations are supported by Wide Angle, a state-of-the-art post-production hub in Mexico City with nearly 90 editing stations, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos certification, 2+ petabytes of storage, AI-integrated and cloud-virtualized workflows, and the ability to run multiple simultaneous 24/7 live reality productions.

The company operates a B2B, sales-led go-to-market: revenue is generated through production fees paid by broadcasters and streamers, plus format licensing royalties distributed via Banijay Rights across 200+ territories. Primary customers include TV Azteca (MasterChef since 2015), TelevisaUnivision, Telemundo/Peacock, HBO Max/Warner Bros. Discovery, and Discovery Home & Health. Distribution is augmented by co-production partnerships (e.g., Warner Bros. Discovery and Ventanarosa on Como Agua para Chocolate, executive produced by Salma Hayek Pinault) and by Banijay Group's global format catalog. In 2025-2026 the company restructured its scripted vertical through two joint ventures — A Fábrica Mexico & U.S. Hispanic (with Brazil's A Fábrica) and Leonardo Padrón Productions — expanded into Colombia, launched the MasterChef 24/7 live format, and formalized Boomdog Academy for internal talent development, indicating an active growth posture. The company is recognized as a Great Place to Work for four consecutive years.

• Telemundo Studios (NBCUniversal): Telemundo's in-house Studios arm produces Spanish-language scripted and unscripted content for Telemundo and Peacock.
