Luna will be starring in Pan y Circo, an original series from Amazon Prime Video, and La Corriente del Golfo, which launches in August.
We are thrilled Diego Luna will accept this honor. He is one of the most recognizable TV and film stars as well as a highly creative producer and director, said Joe Schramm, the Summit's producer for 18 years. Schramm added, Luna's performances always reflect the Latino voice. We believe that Hispanic TV is where Latino voices matter most, and that's why Diego Luna is the ideal recipient of this legacy award at the Hispanic Television Summit.
The Award for Outstanding Achievement in Hispanic Television will be presented to Luna by Isaac Lee, from Exile Content. The award is one of a series of awards that will be presented during the Hispanic Television & Video Awards Ceremony. Additional award recipients will be announced soon.
