It provides an account of the processes of production and reception for seven series, offering close textual readings of individual episodes. At this critical time for the medium, the transition between national network television (Televisa) and transnational streaming platforms (Netflix andAmazon Prime), Mexican creators, mainly women, have responded with new and exciting innovations. The book focuses on three genres. First, it shows how the much despised and loved heritage telenovela, addressed primarily to a female audience, has adapted to changed circumstances by addressing once taboo social issues and how a classic broadcast title is adapted for a new platform. Second, it examines fiction series and true crime titles, which investigate the key and troubled topic of the legal process in Mexico. And third, it addresses the key new genre of the bio-series in its multimedia context, focusing on a celebrated wrestler and movie star.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAuthor: Paul Julian Smith,author\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Paul Julian Smith,author\u003cbr\u003eBinding: hardcover\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: \u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\u003cbr\u003eModel: Television Drama in Mexico\u003cbr\u003ePublished\/Release Date: 31 Mar 2026\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Paul Julian Smith\u003cbr\u003eDimension (cm): 234x156x51 mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimension (cm): 15x239x166 mm\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight (g): 358\u003cbr\u003ePackage Weight (g): 370","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53368975589673,"sku":"BK1399560522","price":228.64,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/51dVSWdbohL.jpg?v=1785471466","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/products\/television-drama-in-mexico-from-broadcast-to-streaming","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
