Hugo Tomás, head of the production company’s Factual, Reality and New Formats area since January of this year, will now lead Mediacrest’s Entertainment department. His new position will see him take on game shows like “The Chase” on TVE and other new creations that he and his team are already working on. 

With over 20 years of experience working in television as a director and screenwriter, Hugo Tomás has directed acclaimed shows like “La isla de las tentaciones”, “MasterChef”, “Maestros de la costura”, “Acorralados” or “Survivor”, among others.

Faced with this new stage at the head of the production company’s Entertainment department, Hugo Tomás asserts that he is “very fortunate to form part of the Mediacrest family, a team I learn from with every step we take together and which surprises me on a daily basis with its talent and human warmth”.

Mediacrest continues to bring new strength to its team to rise to the challenges and seize the opportunities thrown up by this new, unprecedented situation we are undergoing in the world of entertainment. “These are very difficult times”, says Hugo Tomás, and entertainment must now “help us to silence our hearts and minds… a much needed silence, like the silence of sleep, which will allow us to rest from our concerns and pain, and recover our strength so we can keep on fighting. With respect, affection and humility, I will continue to work hard to tell stories that contribute and entertain”.
