Production

Development

Channel 10 announced the acquisition of the adaptation rights to Escenas de Matrimonio in late 2008, confirming the development of a twelve-episode Uruguayan adaptation of the Spanish series.[3] The project marked the network's second production within the sitcom genre, following Piso 8 (2007).[4] The screenplay was developed by a writing team led by Gonzalo Gómez, with contributions from Ana Magnabosco, Patricia Márquez, Eduardo Rigaud, and Daniel Bello, each responsible for different couples featured in the show.[5]

The cast was announced in early April 2009 and was largely composed of actors with strong backgrounds in theatre, many of whom had prior experience in comedy.[6] The series also marked the return of Cristina Morán—one of the most prominent figures in Uruguayan television since its early years—to scripted fiction.[7] Argentine actor Hugo Arana was invited to join the production and portrayed the character Rolando.[8]

Filming and release

The series was directed by Argentine filmmaker Diana Álvarez.[9] Principal photography took place during the first half of 2009 at Estudios Tajam in Montevideo, becoming the first Uruguayan comedy series to be produced in high definition.[10] The production was officially presented on 8 July 2009 at a launch event held at the Solís Theatre and was supported by an advertising campaign promoted by the network.[11] Hogar, dulce hogar premiered on 24 July 2009, achieving an average audience share of 12 rating points.[12]

The series received a nomination for Best Fiction at the 16th Iris Awards.[13]
