Dani Rovira, star of “Spanish Affair” and Eva Soriano, a comedian with her own show on Movistar+, “Showriano,” will dub main characters in the awaited Japanese reboot of the hit Takeshi Kitano-hosted 1980s adventure variety show “Takeshi’s Castle.” This technique, where Spanish comedians produced a laughably spoof dub which often had little to do with events happening on screen in the original Japanese show, yielded a cult TV show on Telecinco in the 1990s. In all, Prime Video’s new slate in Spain can be read several ways. It is tapping top movie talent for movies which, though maybe long in development, seek to capitalise on the huge audience and branding success of the Oscar-nominated “Argentina, 1985.” Though titles range widely, many involve either true crime or action, broad prime audience drivers in an OTT world. Amazon’s Prime Video is unveiling key steps in Spain in its transformation from a movie-TV service into a broad entertainment broadcaster.
“This new slate is testament to our ambition of creating high quality shows and movies with broad appeal, which will delight local and global audiences,” said James Farrell, VP of Local Originals, Amazon Studios. “We’re working with the best creatives in Spain to uncover the stories and formats that we think will connect with Spanish audiences at home and around the world.” “We want to become the ultimate entertainment destination for our customers, and our upcoming launches reflect that ambition,” added Koro Castellano, country director for Prime Video in Spain. “At Prime Video, we offer add-on channels and the ability to buy or rent films and shows as well as a wide catalogue of original and exclusive shows and movies.

The fourth and final season of the popular Prime Video series starring John Krasinski will premiere June 30, just over six months after the Dec. 21 release of Season 3. That is by far the shortest gap between seasons, compared to 1 year and 2 months (between Seasons 1 and 2) and 3 years and 2 months (between Seasons 2 and 3).

Amazon’s Prime Video has been making a lot of renewal and cancellation decisions this year!
said back in December that Season 3 and Season 4 were shot back-to-back so fans “wouldn’t have to wait.”This fourth season will find Jack Ryan (Kransinski) in a brand new role — CIA Acting Deputy Director — and per the official logline, he’s “facing an enemy both foreign and domestic… As Jack and the team investigate how deep the corruption runs, he discovers a far-worse reality — the convergence of a drug cartel with a terrorist organization — ultimately revealing a conspiracy much closer to home and testing our hero’s belief in the system he has always fought to protect.”Sounds like we might be getting a “Clear and Present Danger” reimagining, similar to how Season 3 sort of mashed up “The Sum of All Fears” and “The Hunt for Red October.”Alongside Krasinski in the title role, “Jack Ryan” stars Wendell Pierce as James Greer, Michael Kelly as Mike November and Betty Gabriel as CIA Acting Director Elizabeth Wright, with Abbie Cornish returning as Cathy Mueller. New to the show for the final season are Michael Peña as Domingo Chavez and Louis Ozawa as Chao Fah.“Jack Ryan” is co-produced by Amazon Studios, Paramount Television Studios and Skydance Television.
