Deepening its commitment to original productions, Mexicanal is planning to create original content in the procedural genre, such as crime series, in 2026.

“Each year we increase our pace, producing more hours. This year we’re planning over 300 hours of original programming. That content will first air on our channel and then move to other networks or platforms. We have a lot in the works: cooking shows, some equestrian sports—Escaramuzas—Jaripeo content,” Demian Torres-Bohl, President of Mexicanal, told PRODU.

He noted that for the procedural series, they are collaborating with the government of Guanajuato. “We have access to certain cases that we want to develop into a series. The process and what we’re planning still focus on creating and showcasing the technology and heroes of Mexico and Mexican culture,” he said.

He did not rule out producing similar content with other regions of Mexico where Mexicanal has affiliates.

“We continue to work with all the regions where we have affiliates. The focus is always on people here in the U.S. and delivering the content they want to see. So we focus on the states where most Mexicans living in the U.S. come from, such as Michoacán, Jalisco, and Guanajuato. And of course, since San Luis Potosí is our base, we always leverage our contacts there,” he added.

For 2026, the goal remains to accelerate production and create more content than in previous years, “in addition to exploring new avenues for co-productions and ways to distribute our content, whether through FAST channels, SVOD, or selling it to other platforms like Netflix or Amazon,” he emphasized.

Torres-Bohl did not rule out launching more FAST channels. “It’s within the possibilities. We have a lot of sports and cooking content that we’ve been working on, and sometimes it’s almost too much for a single channel,” he mentioned.

When asked what he is most proud of in Mexicanal’s 20 years, he highlighted his team. “I’m very proud of my team over these 20 years. We’ve maintained the same vision from the beginning and continue moving forward. Much of the core team is still the same—the same people, the same players—and they continue to reinvent themselves while serving the audience the same way and keeping the content interesting and exciting. It’s always exciting because we keep discovering how rich Mexico is in culture. It’s an incredible channel and project that I’m fortunate to be part of,” he concluded.
