The Spanish language holds a significant presence in the U.S. streaming landscape. As of the first quarter of 2024, Spanish was the foreign language with the highest number of movies available on SVOD platforms in the U.S. and the No. 3 language when it comes to the number of shows available, following Korean and Japanese.

This is largely due to platforms focused on Mexican audiences in the U.S., such as Pantaya and Vix. In addition to Mexico and Spain, a relevant number of shows in Spanish come from Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and the United States. Most of these American shows in Spanish are from Telemundo, a network focused on Spanish-language content owned by NBCUniversal, and these shows are largely available on Peacock and Hulu.

fuboTV includes many sports channels. YouTube TV has fewer channels than fuboTV but has a great variety. Sling TV has many Spanish-language packages to choose from. DIRECTV gives you both Spanish and English- language channels. And Pluto TV es gratis.

DIRECTV's channel lineup for its streaming service includes Spanish and English-language channels. Customers can choose to access DIRECTV's Spanish package via satellite or internet connection. Connecting via satellite will save you almost $20 a month, but you'll have to install a satellite dish.

Hulu + Live TV might also be a good option if you have a language-divided home. This live TV streaming service already has Telemundo in its channel lineup and you can add the Espaol add-on to your service for $5/mes and receive six Spanish-language channels.

We really like how you can find lots of quality and highly-reviewed movies and TV shows in Spanish with Hulu, such as Una Familia Moderna y 12 Corazones. And we counted about 30 movies and 60 TV shows in Spanish.

In the Home section, you'll have to scroll down 16 lines to find Featured Brands, and there is where you'll find the Telemundo button. Or scroll down even further to find the Tplus Featured Collection.

First, we determined how many Spanish channels and on-demand titles each service offers. Next, we evaluated if the service had quality content. Ya know, the content we actually want to watch on a Friday night with snacks or with the family after a long day of work and school.

Then, we evaluated the pricing to see if it was justified for what the streaming service offered. And we find it very important for streaming services to make it simple for users to find the content they desire.

The share of Latinx TV content viewers who rely only on streaming has continued to increase, according to new research from Horowitz, and the firm pointed to a growing pool of Spanish-language and Latinx-themed SVOD and AVOD content options as viewership rises.

Historically, Latinx households have been among those most loyal to traditional pay TV services from MVPDs, but that trend has changed, per Horowitz Research, as penetration of MVPD services is now on par compared to the total market at 52% and 51%, respectively.

The recent Comscore study also showed the popularity of YouTube, which nabbed second place for top 10 services among Hispanic OTT viewing homes. YouTube reached 71% of total OTT viewing homes, and accounted for 25% of OTT viewing hours. It came in only behind Netflix which had 85% reach and 27% of viewing hours. Peacock was among free services that made it into the top 10 in the Comscore study with 20% reach for Hispanic OTT households, but behind Tubi TV (24%), and ahead of PlutoTV (7% reach).

For example, The Roku Channel last month launched a destination hub, Espacio Latino, geared toward U.S. Hispanic audiences that features a broad aggregated collection of Spanish-language programming. YouTube TV in Mayadded a Spanish-language only plan along with add-on options. Horowitz Research also pointed to Pantaya, a popular Spanish-language SVOD service, which was recently acquired by TelevisaUnivision. In addition, the firm noted Peacock recently doubled down on commitments to the Latinx market with its Tplus blingual content hub in partnership with Telemundo.

If you're searching for international movies to watch, Netflix's library of foreign films includes a ton of Spanish-language gems. We've narrowed that collection down to the 10 best Spanish-language movies you should check out.

The first foreign-language film to win an Oscar for best director, Alfonso Cuarn's Roma, greets viewers at the intersection of personal reflection and cinematic excellence. The black-and-white film follows live-in housekeeper Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), an Indigenous woman who works for an affluent family in Mexico City, finding a sense of humanity that is uniquely memorable. - Alison Foreman, Entertainment Reporter (*)

A film that does a tremendous job of seamlessly weaving genres together, Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth is surely up there among the greatest movies of the 2000s. Set in 1944 in civil war-torn Spain, the film tells the story of a 12-year-old girl, Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), who disappears into a fantasy realm to escape the very real violence raging around her. There are some images and moments in this movie that will stick with you for a long time: the sinister figure of the faun, the creeping dread of the pale man, and the nightmarish reality of Ofelia's stepfather Capitn Vidal (Sergi Lpez), whose brutal rule over his men and his household makes him a genuinely unnerving antagonist. - Sam Haysom, Deputy UK Editor (*)

The Silence of Others is a powerful documentary following surviving victims of General Francisco Franco's 40-year dictatorship. Unable to seek court justice in Spain due to its 1977 amnesty law, the survivors organize a lawsuit in Argentina in order to investigate crimes against humanity that occurred during Franco's regime. With striking imagery and compelling interviews with subjects who have made this lawsuit their life's work, directors Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar carefully examine how choosing to forget history does much more harm than facing it head-on. - Belen Edwards, Entertainment Fellow

Shifting back and forth between Monterrey, Mexico, and New York City, I'm No Longer Here tells the story of Ulises (Juan Daniel Garcia Trevio), a 17-year-old obsessed with cumbia music and dance. After a misunderstanding with a Monterrey cartel turns violent, Ulises is forced to leave his friends behind and travel to New York. Director Fernando Fras de la Parra weaves past and present together to create a sharp contrast between Ulises' community of friends in Monterrey and his sense of isolation in New York. Beautiful visuals and rich musicality bolster this poignant coming of age movie. - B.E.

The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo documents activist Marisela Escobedo's quest to bring her daughter's murderer to justice. From her daughter Rub's death in 2008 to her own assassination in 2010, Escobedo regularly organized protests and sit-ins in Ciudad Jurez and around the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo is a brutal but engrossing watch: It peels back layer after layer of the Escobedo family's tragic story, revealing not only their pain but also the prevalence of violence against women in the region. - B.E.

You'd think a movie that opens with God singing "I Will Always Love You" on a glittery stairway to Heaven would be a mess, but Holy Camp! proves that assumption wrong. This sweet musical comedy takes place at a Christian summer camp, where Mara (Macarena Garca) has started seeing visions of God. (Spoiler alert: God seems to really love Whitney Houston.) Mara's visions shock her best friend Susana (Anna Castillo) and two of the nuns in charge of the camp, reinforcing beliefs and raising doubts. Holy Camp! earns major points for its sincerity as it uses music and comedy to tackle what faith means to different people. - B.E.

Pop star Lila Cassen (Najwa Nimri) recovers from a near-death experience to discover she has amnesia: She can no longer remember who she is, let alone how to perform. In order to help Lila rediscover herself, her assistant brings in Violeta (Eva Llorach), a karaoke singer who perfectly impersonates Lila. What follows is a dreamlike psychological thriller, with director Carlos Vermut examining how stardom, fandom, and identity intersect. Quin te cantar is immensely fascinating, a winding road of a movie with gorgeous imagery and strong leading performances. - B.E.

Imagine: Prison cells stacked one on top of the other, with holes in the floor and ceiling. Randomly assigned levels that change each month. And a platform of food that gets slowly lowered from the very top, getting sparser and sparser with each floor it descends. This is the concept at the centre of Spanish director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia's The Platform, a disturbing sci-fi thriller that wears its capitalist analogy plainly on its prison garb sleeve. It's one of those rare gems where the execution is as strong as the idea at its core, driven by an excellent screenplay from David Desola and Pedro Rivero that's dripping with horror and suspense. If you're a fan of movies like The Cube or Saw, this is well worth checking out. - S.H. (*)

The lives of an imprisoned getaway driver, his wife, and a mild-mannered stranger cross paths with explosive results in this intense revenge thriller. The Fury of a Patient Man begins with a harrowing robbery sequence, then jumps forward eight years into what seems like a very different film. While Curro (Luis Callejo) has been in jail for those eight years, his wife Ana (Ruth Daz) has begun an affair with Jos (Antonio de la Torre), a regular customer at her caf. However, Jos is not what he seems. As the puzzle pieces fall into place and Jos's intentions become clear, The Fury of a Patient Man hurtles towards a stunning and brutal conclusion. - B.E.
