The Miami-based company will produce exclusive content for Univision sibling channel UniMas and its digital platforms, with a focus on “edgy, high-octane series” for US Hispanic audiences.

Wills is the executive producer of La Viuda Negra II (Black Widow II), which began airing yesterday. The show’s world premiere was simulcast on Univision, UniMás and Galavisión networks, as well as on Univision digital platforms.

Prior to launching the new joint venture, Wills was CEO and partner of RTI Productions in Colombia.

The new firm’s first project is expected to air in October.
