Endemol Shine Boomdog Taps Former Argos Exec Jerry Rodriguez as Head of Scripted Content (Exclusive)
Mexico City-based Endemol Shine Boomdog has tapped former Argos Media Group chief creative officer Jerry Rodriguez as their new head of scripted content and senior VP.
Rodriguez, an Emmy-winning TV producer and director of comedy and drama programming, had been with Argos since 1999 where he held various positions of responsibility through the years.
His appointment signals Endemol Shine Boomdog’s steadfast commitment to produce more fiction content in the years to come. Fiction content production is revving up across Latin America as more deep-pocketed and indie players are joining the fray.
In his new role, Rodriguez will lead Boomdog’s scripted team, which created such recent series as “Súbete a Mi Moto” (Amazon Prime), “Nicky Jam: El Ganador” (Netflix) and the recently announced comedy series “Todo por Lucy” (a re-imagined version of the classic comedic series “I Love Lucy”) for Amazon Prime. He replaces Leonardo Zimbron, who departed in mid-October.

In an unprecedented move, Kate del Castillo’s Cholawood and Fabrica de Cine’s Gaston Pavlovich, producer of Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and “Silence,” have teamed up with Endemol Shine Boomdog (Esb) to co-produce “El Agente Mexicano” (“The Mexican Agent”).
The series is loosely based on the true story of Francisco García, a young photographer who is recruited by the CIA after inadvertently saving President Kennedy from an assassination attempt during a 1962 visit to Mexico.
In the first season, now being penned by Rodrigo Ordoñez, the naive photographer transforms into a genuinely ruthless spy. Carlos Bolado is attached to direct what promises to include elements of action, suspense and a good dose of romance. Esb’s head of scripted, Leo Zimbron oversees the production, which will likely run for multiple seasons.
In 2019, the Spanish-language division of Endemol Shine North America inked an overall development and production pact with Pavlovich.
