Netflix Production to Film in Montevideo, Causing Traffic Disruptions

Montevideo is set to become a global stage as Netflix chooses the Uruguayan capital for its upcoming production, "El futuro es nuestro." This significant international project, starring Uruguayan actor Enzo Vogrincic, underscores Uruguay's growing prominence in the audiovisual sector. The film commission, ACAU, and Montevideo Audiovisual have been instrumental in attracting this high-impact production.

The series is expected to generate substantial economic benefits, creating an estimated 4,000 direct and indirect jobs. This includes roles for technical crews, extras, artistic personnel, and support services ranging from catering and transportation to accommodation and security. The production will utilize at least 15 locations across Montevideo, including iconic sites like Ciudad Vieja, Peñarol, Melilla, Parque Lecocq, and Plaza Independencia, highlighting the city's diverse and appealing settings.

While the production brings economic opportunities, it also necessitates temporary traffic disruptions, particularly in Ciudad Vieja, from May 4th to mid-June 2026. The Intendencia de Montevideo has provided detailed information on street closures and detours to help residents navigate these changes. This influx of international production is a testament to Uruguay's sustained growth in the audiovisual industry over recent decades, positioning it as a preferred filming destination for global companies.
