LAS PELOTARIS 1926 is Now Available on ViX+

MIAMI – March 10, 2023 – The first two episodes of LAS PELOTARIS 1926, the new ViX+ Original series are available now to stream, with new episodes dropping every Friday.

Filmed in Mexico and Spain, LAS PELOTARIS 1926 tells the story of Chelo, Idoia and Itzi, three Basque pelota players who struggle to achieve their dreams in the 1920s.
