He explained that they are working on a digital series that will cover migration topics, extracted from this program, as well as others they have already made, and those that are in preparation.
In original production, he mentioned the production of the fifth season of Mexicánicos, “the channel’s number one series in Mexico and the US,” he stated, as well as the Mexican version of Wedding Dress for Discovery Home & Health.
