Founded in 2002 by Cris Morena, it is one of the main production companies in Argentina and is based in Buenos Aires.

Cris Morena productions are also adapted across the world. Her shows have been adapted to, among others, India, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Chile.

Most CMG productions are co-produced with RGB Entertainment, with the exception of Rebelde Way and Rincón de Luz which were co-produced by Israeli company Dori Media Group. CMG is responsible for the creative part of the projects while RGB is in charge of the business, contracts and finances.
