Prime Video is going even deeper into the YA genre.
The Amazon streamer made a host of announcements around young adult films and TV shows today at an event in Ibiza, with Culpa Tuya star Nicole Wallace and its writer Mercedes Ron among those in the spotlight.
As we reported here, Wallace has signed a talent deal with Prime Video, while Amazon outlined details of its fruitful relationship with Ron, who is currently in the process of having her Dímelo Bajito and Marfil book sagas turned into movie trilogies.
Ron was onstage at the event showcasing a pact with Prime Video that has been dubbed ‘The House of Ron.’ In practice, this covers ten book-to-screen adaptations, with the second instalment of the Dímelo trilogy today confirmed as Dímelo en Secreto. Production begins soon and you can watch a promotional trailer for Ron’s features here.
Dímelo Bajito, the first film from the Tell Me trilogy, follows the young adult sexuality and family trauma in the lives of three main protagonists: Kamila (Alicia Falcó) and the Di Bianco brothers (Fernando Lindez, Diego Vidales).
The full extent of Ron’s Amazon pact comprises Culpa Mia, Culpa Tuya, Culpa Nuestra, My Fault: London, Your Fault: London, Our Fault: London, Dimelo Bajito, Dimelo en Secreto, Marfil (Enfrentados), Ebano (Enfrentados).
“It’s been a dream come true to see how my characters and stories come to life on screen, connecting with audiences worldwide in unimaginable ways,” said Ron.
“Prime Video has proven to be an ideal collaborator, transforming the essence of my books into audiovisual experiences that have captivated global audiences. I’m filled with excitement knowing that fans will be able to enjoy more stories featuring these beloved characters and meet new ones as we continue expanding this universe together.”
Nicole Morganti, Amazon MGM Studios’ Head of Originals Southern Europe called the streamer’s partnership with the Spanish author a “very special collaboration”, adding: “Her books have a passionate fanbase around the world and we’re delighted to continue building our connection with them through these adaptations.”
Further announcements from the event included first-look images at Your Fault: London (above), the second film in the UK version of the Culpables trilogy, and an Italian original movie titled Love Me, Love Me – Magnetic Hearts, which will launch in early 2026. The English-language film stars Mia Jenkins, Pepe Barroso Silva, and Luca Melucci. Culpables star Wallace, meanwhile, will star in TV series Postcards From Italy, another Italian project shot in English.
Sigue Mi Voz, the feature adaptation Venezuelan author Ariana Godoy’s Spanish-language webnovel, will launch in January next year, while upcoming Argentinian original Amor Animal released a teaser trailer. Also unveiled was the Prime Book Club TikTok channel, which will become a home to Prime Video’s “book-to-screen social content,” acting as “a commitment to serving the fandoms on social.”
“Bringing in new and younger audiences has been a deliberate and intentional move for us, cultivating the latest Wattpad or Booktok sensations,” said Tara Erer, Head of Originals Northern Europe. “From our UK-adaptations of Culpa Mia in My Fault: London and Your Fault: London, to the runaway success of Maxton Hall around the world, we’re committed to discovering and developing new stories to delight these passionate audiences.”
