MADRID — Amazon Prime Video, Mediapro and La Liga are teaming to produce Amazon’s first Spanish – and Spanish-language – original series, soccer documentary “Six Dreams.”

Already shooting, the series follows three players – Atletico de Madrid’s Saúl Ñíguez, Athletic Club Bilbao’s Iñaki Williams, and Real Betis’ Andrés Guardado, as well as two coaches – ex-Seville manager Eduardo Berrizo and Girona’s Quique Carcel. Amaia Gorostiza, the female president of Eibar, Spain’s smallest-budget Liga side, constitutes the sixth profile.

“Six Dreams” is directed by Justin Webster, who said it will be shot in “observational, verité style with very little commentary from the episodes’ subjects but a structured narrative.”

The six-hour series was presented Monday at Atlético de Madrid’s new stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano, by Amazon Prime Video’s Georgia Brown, director Prime Originals Europe, and Christoph Schneider, director content acquisition Europe, plus La Liga President Javier Tebas and Mediapro partner Jaume Roures.
