Upfronts: Netflix teams with Univision, Telemundo brings back Don Francisco

Netflix got its start streaming shows that first aired on broadcast television. Then it started producing its own original series. And now it's flipping the script.

As part of a new partnership announced yesterday with the Spanish-language broadcaster Univision, some shows that first aired on Netflix will now air on Univision. 

The two companies are also pairing up to co-produce an original series about Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

Meanwhile, Telemundo announced that it's bringing back Mario “Don Francisco” Kreutzberger, the hugely popular TV host who parted ways with Univision last year.
