The Chespirito Media Universe is a Mexican media franchise and shared universe centered on several films and series produced by Grupo Chespirito and THR3 Media Group, and based on several shows and characters created by Mexican comedian Chespirito. The franchise will also include comic books. The franchise will begin with a biographical series about Chespirito, and will include an animated El Chapulín Colorado film and an animated series based on El Chavo.

Development

On October 14, 2019, Roberto Gómez Fernández revealed that Grupo Chespirito and THR3 Media Group are developing a shared universe centered on characters created by his father, Roberto Gómez Bolaños (a.k.a. Chespirito). The franchise, called the "Chespirito Media Universe", will start with a biopic television series about the life of Chespirito, and will include an animated television series based on El Chavo, and an animated film based on El Chapulín Colorado, the latter which was first announced in 2017. Grupo Telefilms signed a deal to serve as a third-party producer on the Chespirito Media Universe.

THR3 Media Group CEO Bruce Boren said that Grupo Chespirto and THR3 Media Group will "develop and design a cinematic universe based on the characters of Roberto that have grown and enjoyed stellar distribution and success worldwide due to the high level of production, the family values demonstrated and the type of comedy very easy to understand and resonates with all cultures", while Gómez Fernández said that "when he met the team at Telefilms and Thr3 Media, he knew he had found what Group Chespirto wanted", stating that "they are brave enough to meet the challenge of making this series, and any other future projects, as good as any production in the world".

In June 2021, Gómez Fernández said that Grupo Chespirito is currently planning several animated and live-action projects based on Chespirito's work, but they currently lack a release date due to a fallout between Grupo Chespirito and Televisa, which left past and future Chespirito-related projects without a distribution company. The same month, Florinda Meza, Chespirito's widow, started taking legal actions to take creative control of all Chespirito-based projects. Her lawyer, Guillermo Pous, later explained that the rights for Chespirito's characters will remain with Gómez Fernández, while intellectual use of Chespirito's image will belong to Meza.
