Secuoya Studios and William Levy expand development slate with action series and romantic comedy

The Cuban-American actor and producer is set to star in and executive produce both a scripted series and a feature film under a renewed development agreement with Spain-based Secuoya Studios.

Secuoya Studios has renewed its relationship with Cuban-American performer William Levy, moving quickly into development on two new scripted projects that will bring him back in front of the camera and into production roles, according to Deadline. The deal keeps Levy aligned with the Spain-based production company as Secuoya advances a scripted television series and a feature film built around Levy’s involvement.

The announcement frames the renewed development effort as immediately active, with Levy attached to star in an action-oriented series and a separate romantic-comedy feature. Deadline’s report says Levy will also executive produce both projects through his company, William Levy Entertainment, positioning him not only as talent but as a creative and producing partner as Secuoya prepares materials for production and distribution.

Deadline describes the television project as an “action series” and characterizes the feature as a “romantic comedy,” with Secuoya serving as the development studio. The report adds that the collaboration is part of a broader agreement renewed between the parties, indicating continuity in how Secuoya and Levy structure development and talent participation.

The projects are being developed as scripted productions, meaning they will move through writing, casting, and production planning before any filming schedules are finalized. While Deadline does not provide specific premiere dates, release windows, episode counts, or studio production dates, the paper’s account emphasizes the near-term status of development work following the renewed agreement.

For Levy, the renewed Secuoya partnership extends a business relationship with an established European-language studio that has produced Spanish-language content. Deadline’s report links Levy’s involvement to both acting and executive producing, a pairing that can affect creative control, rights negotiations, and budgeting decisions as projects progress from scripts to production.

The report’s mention of both a series and a feature also suggests Secuoya and Levy are pursuing parallel pipelines, which can matter for workforce planning across development departments, production teams, and post-production operations. Even without schedules, expanding a slate in multiple formats is typically intended to keep options open for distribution and to align audience reach across platforms and territories.

It was not clear from the Deadline report whether the projects will be tied to any specific streaming or broadcast outlet at the time of announcement, or whether casting beyond Levy is already underway. Deadline also did not disclose production budgets or development milestones, which are often determined after additional script drafts and financing conversations.

Why It Matters

  • The announcement highlights continuity between Levy and Secuoya, keeping the talent producer attached to projects from development through production planning.
  • Developing both a series and a feature can broaden potential distribution paths and audience reach across languages and formats.
  • Because scripted development can affect rights, staffing, and production budgets, renewed attachment of a lead talent and executive producer can shape future negotiations and costs.
  • The lack of release dates in the report indicates next steps will depend on completed scripts, financing, and downstream platform or distributor commitments.
