ViX announces slate of originals

TelevisaUnivision’s streamer ViX is readying to release six new originals, according to a report in Variety.

ViX will offer two new movies, “Intecambiadas” and “Mi casa no es tu casa,” two reality shows, “Chiquis Unfiltered” and “Mi Mundo,” and two documentaries, ““Laura Bozzo: From Hell to Stardom” and “Toros Neza.”

The announcements appear to suggest a decline in new content, Variety notes, pointing out that the streamer had announced 11 originals by early 2023. Variety sources say execs have cut production budgets, a situation that is playing out at many streamers as costs rise and competition increases.

ViX had about 7 million subscribers at the end of 2023, according to the company’s 4th Quarter report. It generated more than $700 million in revenue. The service offers a free option with ads or an ad-free paid tier.
