Falco finds home on Amazon for Lat Am

The Mexican version of Falco

Amazon has picked up the streaming rights to an adaptation of Red Arrow Studios International’s crime format The Last Cop for Latin America.

Falco (15×60’) is the Mexican remake of the original German series and the deal was brokered by Red Arrow’s Latin American distributor Spiral International.

Falco is produced by Spiral and Columbian production company Dynamo (Narcos, American Made) and stars Michel Brown in the lead role. The series is showrun and directed by Mexican filmmaker, director and screenwriter Ernesto Contreras.

Set in Mexico City in 1994, the series follows Alejandro Falco, a policeman with a promising future and a young family. However, his world is shattered when he is shot by a mysterious attacker in the line of duty.

The Last Cop was originally created and produced by ITV Studios Germany for Sat.1. Red Arrow Studios International has sold the scripted format around the world, with remakes including four seasons of French version Falco on TF1 in France; Channel 5 in Russia; two seasons and a theatrical movie version in Japan for Hulu and Nippon TV; and productions in Czech Republic and Estonia.

The Mexican version is currently in production in Mexico City and is set to premiere later this year.
