Lucha Underground is currently taping through June and the current goal from the promotion is to have at least 100 hours of content completed after the tapings for season three are complete. The main reason for this is because 100 hours of content is a very attractive number for distributors trying to sell shows into syndication. As previously reported, the promotion is hoping to land a Mexican TV deal. The idea behind Lucha Underground is that it is not a traditional wrestling product, and instead relies heavily on episodic storytelling.
In other Lucha Underground news, the company is now looking into running live events. As of this writing, there are no live events booked but they are in talks with several venues. One of the hold ups is that they are trying to search for venues that can look similar to the Temple on Boyle Heights, which is where they tape their TV broadcasts. The company is also looking at running smaller venues that have similar layouts.
We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
