Secuoya Studios Names José María Caro Chief Content Officer After HBO Max Exit

The hire underscores independent studios pushing to scale Spanish content during WBD's reorganization.

Overview

  • Caro resurfaced at Secuoya Studios a day after his HBO Max Spain departure became public.
  • HBO Max said he left by mutual agreement following a review of its international local originals structure.
  • His former team now reports on an interim basis to Deniz Sasmaz Oflaz, who oversees local originals for Spain, Italy and Turkey.
  • At Secuoya, Caro will lead creative development, set the editorial vision, and steer sales and international market strategy.
  • WBD reaffirmed its Spanish originals slate and is seeking a replacement, as the broader unit is reshaped under Sarah Aubrey and Secuoya pursues expansion after a recent CEO exit.
