Eccho Rights and DIRECTV have completed a deal to offer the acclaimed Spanish drama, EL ACCIDENTE, on DIRECTV’s pay TV susbcription service and digital platforms all across Latin America. The hit series from Globomedia in Spain is set to air on DIRECTV’s “OnDIRECTV” channel later this year.

“With our channel’s history of acquiring the most acclaimed series from Spain, EL ACCIDENTE just had to be on our channel. It was both a big hit in Spain and it created so much positive industry buzz,” says Willard Tressel, General Manager at OnDIRECTV. “We are thrilled to be bringing it to our viewers all across the LATAM region.”

EL ACCIDENTE’s premiere on Telecinco in November 2017 was the most successful new drama launch for the Mediaset Espana network for over two years, and the series continued to attract top audiences throughout its 3 month run. Including VOD and catch-up viewing, EL ACCIDENTE was the most watched drama series of the season.

“EL ACCIDENTE is a gripping, well written and beautifully acted family thriller that performed amazingly well in Spain and we look forward to bringing it to more audiences worldwide,” says Laura Miñarro, Director of Co-production and Scripted at Eccho Rights.

EL ACCIDENTE portrays the story of a woman investigating her husband’s double life after a terrible accident sheds light on his secrets and lies and stars some of Spain’s most highly regarded acting talent including Inma Cuesta (Snow White , The Bride ), Quim Gutiérrez (Dark Blue Almost Black ), and Berta Vázquez (Locked up ).
