Movistar plus+ unearths comedy gold with limited-run channel

Spanish television viewers, prepare for a laughter injection. Movistar Plus+ is launching a pop-up channel dedicated entirely to Spanish comedy, a move that signals a renewed focus on domestic Entertainment and arrives just as Santiago Segura’s “Torrente Presidente” is capturing the national conversation. The channel, dubbed “Top Comedia Española,” will run from April 2nd to May 24th, offering a concentrated dose of comedic classics and recent hits.

A nostalgic trip and fresh laughs combined

The temporary channel, available to both fiber and OTT subscribers, promises a curated selection designed to deliver “constant fun.” While the full lineup remains under wraps, Movistar Plus+ has already confirmed a tantalizing mix of titles. Expect recent Spanish comedies like “La Cena,” “Al Otro Barrio,” “Un Lío de Millones,” and “El Casoplón” – films already familiar to Movistar Plus+ users but guaranteed to elicit a chuckle. The inclusion of classic Spanish humor, potentially featuring the likes of Fernando Esteso and Andrés Pajares, alongside Segura himself, suggests a broad appeal catering to various comedic tastes.

The debut will be marked by the premiere of “Coartadas” on April 3rd, an adaptation of the acclaimed French film “Alibi.com.” This ensemble comedy, starring Jaime Lorente and Adriana Torrebejano alongside Leo Harlem and Llum Barrera, promises a twisty narrative and a stellar cast. The film centers on a company that specializes in crafting believable alibis – a premise ripe for comedic chaos.

But the comedic windfall doesn’t stop there. Alongside “Top Comedia Española,” Movistar Plus+ continues to offer “Los 2000 por M+,” a channel showcasing films from the early 2000s, featuring titles such as “Transporter,” “Road to Perdition,” and “Chicago.” This dual offering provides a wealth of cinematic viewing options for Movistar Plus+ subscribers, effectively eliminating the dreaded
