About Us —
Underground is a Buenos Aires-based production company known for creating bold, story-driven content that challenges conventions and resonates across cultures.
Founded in 2006 by Sebastián Ortega and Pablo Culell, Underground has consistently pushed the boundaries of Argentine television and fiction. From cult hits like Lalola and Los exitosos Pells to critically acclaimed series like El marginal, our productions blend originality, social relevance, and cinematic quality.
Now part of a major Mexican media group, we’re entering a new era—expanding our vision, crossing borders, and staying true to what defines us: storytelling with soul, edge, and no compromises.
We don’t just make content—we create worlds that speak, question, and endure.
