MIAMI, July 17, 2018 - Consolidated as a leader and pioneer in the production of original content of the highest quality, HBO celebrates 15 years of telling unique and innovative stories for the Latin American public with special programming through its different platforms.
"HBO has always focused on finding the best talent to create innovative, high-quality content that resonates with our audience.
