NBCU, Galan Ink English-Language Novela Deal

“NBC Universal Television Group has signed a development deal with Galan Entertainment for the production of telenovelas in English that could air on both NBC and its cable siblings. The programming will not be soap operas in the traditonal American sense, but will have the sensibilities of Hispanic telenovelas. The deal also calls for other programming with “Spanish-language formats.”

Also as part of the deal, Galan Entertainment and NBC-owned Hispanic broadcast network Telemundo will leverage exisiting assets and expertise to produce the novelas. Under the deal, Telemundo will license its formats to GalanEntertainment to redevelop into English. “
