Montevideo is set to become a central hub for a significant international audiovisual production as Netflix begins filming its new series, "El futuro es nuestro."

Dick's novel "The World Jones Made," will shoot in various iconic locations across the capital, including Ciudad Vieja, Peñarol, Melilla, and Parque Lecocq, with Plaza Independencia serving as a primary site. The production, slated to last until mid-June, represents a substantial boost to Uruguay's growing audiovisual sector, which saw over 300 international and local projects in 2025. The Intendencia de Montevideo (IMM) has hailed this as a "major international production" that will generate approximately 4,000 jobs. The series will star acclaimed Uruguayan actor Enzo Vogrincic, an opportunity the IMM emphasizes as a chance to showcase national talent on a global stage. This project not only highlights Montevideo's appeal as a filming destination but also underscores Uruguay's commitment to fostering its creative industries and attracting high-profile international collaborations. The local perspective is one of pride and economic optimism, seeing this as a validation of the country's infrastructure and talent pool.

Montevideo will function as the central location.
