Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has joined Netflix and Universal Pictures International Spain in the production of Blanco, a feature film directed by Félix Viscarret.

Universal Pictures International Spain will manage the theatrical distribution for the film, while RTVE, Netflix, and Universal collaborate on the production. The partnership brings together a state broadcaster, a global streaming giant, and a major studio to tackle a central event in modern Spanish history.

Félix Viscarret’s Direction and Project Scope

Félix Viscarret serves as the director for Blanco. Viscarret previously directed Patria and Under the Stars, projects that established his presence in high-profile Spanish drama. This new feature centers on the specific events surrounding the abduction and death of Miguel Ángel Blanco.

The narrative focuses on the actions of ETA, the armed Basque separatist group responsible for the 1997 attack.

Production Partnerships and Distribution

The production structure for Blanco involves three distinct entities with different distribution goals. RTVE provides the backing of Spain’s national public television service, while Netflix brings global streaming reach. Universal Pictures International Spain ensures the film reaches traditional cinema audiences through its theatrical distribution network.
