Netflix has acquired the global rights to the 52-year-old Spanish director and the 56-year-old Spanish screenwriter’s feature film Sky High, the leading Spanish film at the domestic box office over the holiday period, trailing only The Croods: A New Age and Wonder Woman 1984 from abroad.
The streamer will develop the project into a new original series, with the film’s creators Calparsoro and Guerricaechevarria set to helm the small-screen adaptation.
