Exclusive: Crónicas Obscuras is one of the most successful horror podcasts to come out of Latin America and it’s now being developed for the screen.
Elefantec Global Partners, run by former Televisa chief Jose ‘Pepe’ Bastón, has teamed up with Sonoro, which produced the audio series, to adapt it for TV and film.
The series is inspired by some of the region’s most popular myths and legends.
