🌎 Vertical Drama in Latin America

· Brazil, Mexico · local-language production

The first region outside Asia where the majors produce in the local language rather than dub. ReelShort runs local-language production in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, and launched Married at First Sight in Brazil with Endemol Shine Brasil. TikTok chose Brazil alongside the United States for PineDrama's January 2026 launch. And in Mexico, DramaBox already beats Prime Video on daily usage: 27.9 minutes against 23.8 (Omdia, February 2026).
