What Atresmedia Studios does
Atresmedia Studios is the consolidated in-house content production arm of Atresmedia Corporación, a publicly listed Spanish media group. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid), the studio produces original fiction series, unscripted programming, and branded entertainment for both the Atresmedia ecosystem and external buyers. Its slate is anchored by high-profile Spanish creative talent under multi-year exclusivity deals — most notably Los Javis (Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi) — and has produced breakout titles such as Veneno for ATRESplayer PREMIUM and Amazon Originals including La Templanza and El Internado: Las Cumbres.
The studio's business model combines three revenue streams: (1) content commissioning for Atresmedia's owned linear channels and ATRESplayer PREMIUM streaming platform, (2) international co-production and licensing to global streamers such as Amazon Prime Video and pay-TV operators such as Movistar+, and (3) a branded content division launched in late 2019 that develops advertiser-funded series. Distribution spans domestic Spanish broadcast, Spanish pay-TV, international streaming (Prime Video), and Latin American cable (TNT), giving the studio multi-window monetization across its IP. Despite producing premium titles with international reach, the operating entity is lean at roughly 18 employees, indicating an asset-light model that relies on external production infrastructure and partner networks to scale output.
