Format

CAN’T STOP media has secured a major new adaptation of its interview format The A Talks, with Claro Video launching the first Spanish-language Latin American version in Mexico. Produced by Elefantec Global, the eight-episode series, titled Mentes Únicas, premiered on June 10 and will roll out weekly on the streaming platform. The adaptation features high-profile Mexican guests including actor and comedian Eugenio Derbez and football star Chicharito Hernández, who are interviewed by a group of autistic, neurodivergent and learning-disabled interviewers.

The commission marks the 23rd international version of the format, which continues to expand across major markets. Recent milestones include a second season on Globo in Brazil, a second run on Cuatro in Spain, a successful second season on ITV1 in the UK, and a fifth season renewal in France.

“It’s a great thrill to see this bold, unpredictable, but genuine chat show reaching Mexican audiences with such premier partners. Bringing The A Talks to its first Spanish-speaking home in Latin America via Claro Video and Elefantec Global is a massive milestone. The profound positive impact this format delivers in terms of viewer emotion, press acclaim, and social media outreach, is undeniable, and we cannot wait to see Eugenio Derbez, Chicharito and others drop their masks in front of these incredible interviewers,” said Damien Porte, co-founder of CAN’T STOP media.
Pepe Bastón, CEO of Elefantec Global, added: “The A Talks is an exceptional, globally proven format that stands out for its bold distinctiveness and deep humanity. At Elefantec Global, we are incredibly proud to produce the Mexican adaptation. This show offers a truly unique, filter-free perspective that will give audiences a chance to see their favourite icons like they have never seen them before. It is funny, poignant, and profoundly magical television.”
