ABSTRACT

This chapter studies the impact of global streaming platforms in the production and distribution of Spanish films and series. First, it approaches the national streaming panorama to define what genres have been favored by diverse transnational companies such as HBO, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Second, it focuses on horror films and, in more detail, television fiction. It specifically analyzes three works: the reboot of the classic series Tales to Keep You Awake, Álex de la Iglesia’s series 30 coins and, finally, The Fear Collection, a co-production project between Sony Pictures International, Prime Video and de la Iglesia’s and Carolina Bang’s Pokeepsie Films.
