Spanish-language streaming service Vix will premiere a new original comedy series produced, directed and starred by Eugenio Derbez called “Y Llegaron de Noche” [And They Came at Night] on Oct. 4.

Inspired by true events, “Y Llegaron de Noche” retells the turn of events that led two underdogs towards the unintentional creation of one of the best Dracula movies made—the Spanish version of the 1931 classic. In comedic fashion while Bela Lugosi filmed his version by day, a separate cast and crew took the opportunity to use the sets, costumes, and a translated script to film during the night.

The series will star Yare Santana, Sofia Niño de Rivera, AJ Vaage and “Sienfeld” alum Jason Alexander. It was created and written by Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher (“The Valet”). The first two episodes premiere Oct. 4 on the service’s premium plan.

EXECUTIVES

The North Road Company has added Caroline Hollick to its television executive team as senior vice president of international production and development and will be based in London. She comes from Channel 4, where, as head of drama, she oversaw shows like “It’s a Sin,” from six-time BAFTA winner Russell T. Davies and Pete Jackson’s BAFTA-winning drama “Somewhere Boy.”

“Caroline is a skilled creative executive with exceptional taste, instincts, and relationships. She has forged connections and partnerships with world-class talent, often across borders, to make shows that are both critical and commercial hits. As a global television studio, North Road is excited to have someone of Caroline’s caliber and passion for storytelling based in the UK,” Israel and Jan Frouman, president of international at North Road, said in a statement.

They continued: “We look forward to supporting Caroline as she dives back into the UK market and generates more global opportunities for local creative talent to share their stories.”

Hollick will work closely with North Road Television’s President Amy Israel and her LA-based team to identify fresh voices and top creative talent with whom North Road can collaborate in the UK and other European markets.

Hollick is one of several creative executives who recently joined North Road. In August, Israel, who herself joined the company in late 2023 after a lengthy stint at Showtime, saw three additions to her team, with Josh Stern joining as North Road’s EVP of television, Jamie Pross as VP of television, and Madison Heim-Jinivisian as creative executive.
