He was replaced by Bob Chapek, former Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. Iger took the role of Executive Chairman and will direct the company’s creative endeavors, while leading the Board and providing the full benefit of his experience, leadership and guidance to ensure a smooth and successful transition through the end of his contract on Dec. 31, 2021. “With the successful launch of Disney’s direct-to-consumer businesses and the integration of Twenty-First Century Fox well underway, I believe this is the optimal time to transition to a new CEO,” Mr. Iger said. “I have the utmost confidence in Bob and look forward to working closely with him over the next 22 months as he assumes this new role and delves deeper into Disney’s multifaceted global businesses and operations, while I continue to focus on the Company’s creative endeavors.”

Legacy Series

“WE ARE IN AN INTENSIVE PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW, WITH NEW SERIES FROM TURKEY, KOREA, AND THE NORDIC COUNTRIES.”

What are the newest additions to the company’s catalog? We are in an intensive phase of development right now, with new series from Turkey, Korea, and the Nordic countries. We have a big new big Turkish series launching soon on Kanal 7 called ‘Legacy’.

To find out more about this growing slate, as well as the company’s unique approach towards the production business, ttv spoke to Fredrik Af Malmborg, managing director of Eccho Rights.

We are also doing interesting things with our new mother company CJ ENM from Korea, working to get Korean series to launch more successfully in Latin America after the incredible success of ‘Parasite’, also from CJ ENM. We put together a package of 8 differ-

ent Korean series, which we are programming as a full slate for broadcasters in Latin America. And we have a number of Nordic series, including ‘Love Me’ and ‘Honour’.

Managing Director of Eccho Rights

“ECCHO RIGHTS’ BUSINESS IS TO REPRESENT PRODUCERS AND MANAGE THEIR RIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD.”

What else can you share about ‘Legacy’? It’s a daily series by Karamel Yapim, which will air on Kanal 7. The idea is to have 100 episodes before the summer and then continue. It’s a strong story of an emotionally disabled family father, which will air on the same time slot as ‘The Promise’, which was already renewed for a third season and will now air one hour later in Turkey. It joins our slate of daily series, ideal to replace ‘Elif’, such as ‘The Promise’ and ‘Wounded Birds’, which recently premiered in Colombia. And in regard to the Korean series package, have you received any feedback from broadcasters in Latin America? We have already closed three different deals with broadcasters in LatAm and the reaction has been good. The idea is to program a slate of Korean series because they are normally a bit shorter, from 10 to 20 episodes, so it’s shorter than what’s usually programmed in Latin America. Obviously Korean storytelling works well in the region. The demand for non-English content is rising, as proven by the success of Parasite and Turkish series. We believe Korean series are a good complement. What type of titles are included in that package? At the moment we are focusing on lighter titles, such as romantic comedies, easy, accessible. Another part of the Korean trend is to adapt Korean scripts into dramas. Of course, ‘The Good Doctor’ has been a big success in Turkey and the US. We have adapted a number of Korean scripts throughout the years. In Turkey alone, it’s been 35 adaptations in the last five or six years. Right now we are working on several projects based on Korean scripts, with active options in France and a project in pre-production in Turkey.

alternative. We are seeing more and more regional SVODs coming up like Viaplay in Scandinavia. Regional SVODs are becoming an alternative to the global platforms.

“WE ARE IN AN INTENSIVE PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW, WITH NEW SERIES FROM TURKEY, KOREA, AND THE NORDIC COUNTRIES.” itors your budget, they have an accountant on each set, and you get a 10% margin on your cost. That’s of course a safe model for a producer because you take very limited risk, but the upside is also limited.

I still think that the producer should retain as much IP as possible, because hey are the ones who really know their series and how to bring it forward to the next season, the next spinoff or sequel. So, our job is to help the producer to retain rights, and if you do the windowing properly, you sell the windows to the best partners, you can make a lot of money and retain rights. A good drama franchise can be sold and developed for decades. And also adapted. At Eccho we help producers do between 20 and 30 remakes a year and they profit from it as well. So it’s becoming a complex game of managing a drama franchise. We are dividing that work with the producers. We have that expertise and the producer has the expertise in producing and developing fantastic series. Together we can be very successful.

What I see us adding to producers is to represent their rights and to negotiate with different windows. Obviously to make a series for Netflix is fantastic, but it could also be the

Which countries are you applying this model in? We are working with producers in Scandinavia and more and more in Turkey, because they’re starting to understand that it’s a new world out there. And we also have the first two big projects in Spain. We are presenting them alongside the producers. It’s a bit early to announce them but they are in development.

BROADCAST TV IN TIMES OF COVID-19

LIVE TV, RERUNS AND BLOCKBUSTERS In light of the halt in production due to the coronavirus pandemic, broadcast TV screens across the region have had to adapt their programming schedules, betting on live shows and reruns of successful content, and pushing up release dates.

he crisis caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic has impacted every link in the audiovisual production and distribution chain. Like many other platforms, broadcast TV has had to adapt to this new reality and serve the millions of viewers sitting in front of their TV screens, seeking information and entertainment, as they’re forced to stay home and comply with the quarantine measures taken around the world.

Up next, ttv shares insights from TV executives from all over the region, who shared the programming strategies being deployed to meet the increasing demand for content.

A NOTABLE GROWTH FOR LIVE TV. Over the last few days, market analysis companies have confirmed that viewership has increased significantly for broadcast TV networks.

“We are being very thorough and careful about everything we say. We want to share information and not underestimate what’s happening, but still trying not to cause a panic,” added Patricia Daujotas, Content director at Saeta Canal 10 in Uruguay. As a result, live TV is expanding all over the region, especially in Brazil, where it now takes up most of Record TV’s schedule: “It’s 12 daily hours of live journalistic production, used to inform Brazilians about how the virus is spreading and teach them the best ways to prevent infection,” said Marcelo Caetano, director of Programming at Record TV in Brazil.

“Viewership is growing in a major way, especially on broadcast TV,” Ramiro Avedaño Jaramillo, president of Canal 1 in Colombia, said to ttv.

RELEASE DATES CHANGED, SHOWS CANCELED, PRODUCTIONS POSTPONED. In addition, networks across the region have had to reduce the number of employees working both in front and behind the camera, as part of the quarantine measures taken in most countries, causing production of new content to come to a halt.

This growth is seen mainly on live TV as audiences try to stay informed of the latest developments by watching morning magazines, afternoon and late night talk shows, and prime time newscasts.

“The number of people in studio has also been significantly reduced, leaving only those who are absolutely essential,” said Silvia Saad Jadet from the Band Pay TV division at Bandeirantes Group in Brazil.

“We’ve increased the number of live TV hours and extended the newscast, with special editions for shows such as Todas las voces,” said Ignacio Mazza, Programming manager at Monte Carlo TV in Uruguay.

As such, most employees are now working remotely from their homes, making it necessary for networks to modify their working schedules and models.

“We are helping as much as we can with everything that’s happening in the country,

Marcelo Caetano,

from health to food and finances. There are so many questions and uncertainty,” said Luis Guillermo Camacho, Strategy and Content manager at Latina in Peru.

Other networks such as TVN in Chile or Mediapro in Spain have had to take more drastic measures and make cuts to their workforce.

Sweet Diva Globo

“We work with plenty of time at the network, so our production schedule for this part of the year was almost complete, which has proven very helpful to deal with this situation. And eventually we won’t do what isn’t urgent,” added Patricia Daujotas from Saeta Canal 10. Another example is the show Bienvenidos a bordo by El Trece in Argentina, which premiered just a few days ago because “all the episodes have already been filmed”, said Vanesa Bafaro, head of Press and Communication at Artear, El Trece and Polka. The halt in production has also prompted networks to bet on rereleases, a major trend among broadcast TV networks in Chile. Another valid option has been to speed up the release of shows which were scheduled to premiere later in the year. AD SALES ARE ALSO AFFECTED. The impact of this unprecedented situation has also caused TV ad sales to decrease notably, with an estimated 12% drop for this year. This reality is forcing networks to come up with new strategies and commercial packages to be able to sign new deals with advertisers. “We had to postpone production for an ad for Toyota for the US and Canada. Health is the number one priority and we must respect authorities’ requests. We’ve suspended it, but we don’t know for how long, because this situation changes by the minute and we don’t think it will be fixed in two weeks or a month,” said Nicolás Aznárez, CEO of El Camino in Uruguay. The projects canceled have caused many actors and professionals to be left without work, especially those in which several people were involved. And international events that are majorly important for broadcast TV have also been suspended, such as the Tokyo Olympics or the Copa America -set to be held in Argentina and Colombia-, as well as the qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2022, causing an impact on the ad sales arranged for their respective broadcasting networks.

A REBIRTH FOR TAPED CONTENT. Another major trend to come from these times of crisis is the addition of all types of taped content, mainly series and films, both from Hollywood majors and independent distributors; such as the series ‘Pablo Escobar: the Drug Lord’ by Caracol Television, which was picked up by Canal 13 in Chile.

Ariel Tobi,

CEO of Snap Media

“Nobody wants this to happen, but taped content is always helpful to cover this type of production crisis,” said Ariel Tobi CEO of Snap Media. “I don’t think it will need to happen right away, because even if a show is postponed, there’s still a bit of time before it needs to be replaced. But if the situation goes on for too long, networks are going to have to fill the holes in their programming and there will be a resurgence for all types of taped content: series, telenovelas, movies, etc”, he added. The current media landscape, especially on linear TV, will see several changes in the long run. “Broadcast TV has been strengthened because people need newscasts and talk shows right now. And maintaining fiction on broadcast TV networks is also necessary to retain the big advertisers,” said Alex Lagomarsino, CEO of MediaBiz. However, once everything returns to normal, the executive believes “there will be new game rules. Broadcast TV networks will have to design new plans.”

“Fortunately we have a backup of shows that have already been filmed, which gives us some peace of mind. But it all depends on how long production is halted for,” said Eugenio Restano, Programming manager at Teledoce.

All in all, everything that’s been going on is causing uncertainty in the TV industry, but also promoting creativity and new opportunities, which may lead to innovation and growth in the near future. We still don’t know exactly what the “corona effect” will be.

CEO of MediaBiz

“NETWORKS ARE ADDING ALL TYPES OF TAPED CONTENT TO THEIR LINEUPS, ESPECIALLY SERIES AND MOVIES.”

RECORD INTERNATIONAL RESULTS Delmar Andrade, director of International Sales at Record TV, spoke to ttv about the international results registered by titles like ‘Jezabel’ and ‘Topíssima’, and introduced the company’s new telenovela: ‘Amor sin igual’. By Sebastián Amoroso @sebamoroso / samoroso@todotv.tv

t’s nothing new that Record TV has taken the market by storm with its biblical productions, creating an acquisition trend among the main broadcast TV networks in Latin America and US Hispanic, which have recently premiered multiples prime time series and telenovelas based on biblical books.

16/TTV Magazine

The Brazilian giant took note of this market demand and began to create a true TV universe around the stories in the Bible, its characters and teachings, with the goal of developing high-quality productions, with major budgets and filmed on international locations that provide an accurate backdrop. In this sense, the development of this Biblical franchise includes titles that go from ‘Jesus’ to ‘The Rich and Lazarus’, to ‘Moses and the Ten Commandments’, ‘The Promised Land’ or ‘Apocalypse’, among others. The latest production in this biblical lineup is ‘Jezabel’, which was recently presented in the international market. “In 2019 we had the pleasure of introducing ‘Jezabel’ to the international market, a production that was welcome with open arms,” Delmar Andrade, director of International Sales at Record TV, said to ttv.

Jezabel Drama

Topíssima Telenovela

“It was the first time that a producer developed a telenovela based on a villain, since normally the focus isn’t on the bad guys, especially when it comes to the Bible,” he added. In addition, the company announced it started production on ‘Genesis’, its most recent biblical project, at the Casablanca Studios in Rio de Janeiro, as well as on location in Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná. WHAT’S NEW IN CLASSICAL TELENOVELAS? And along with the biblical saga, Record TV continues to develop its lineup of classical telenovelas, including ‘Topíssima’, its latest production, presented at Mipcom 2019, Natpe Miami 2020 and now at Miptv 2020. “Last year, our modern telenovela ‘Topíssima’ gave us a major satisfaction because it was chosen as one of the five most important telenovelas in the world at the Rose d’Or Awards in the UK,” Andrade said.

With all these productions out in the international market, the executive highlighted Record TV’s catalog’s broad reach.

Meanwhile, at Natpe Miami 2020, the Brazilian giant also presented its most recent telenovela titled ‘Amor sin igual’.

“Our telenovelas are now present across Latin America, as well as markets like Japan, Portugal and other territories in Europe,” he said.

“’Amor sin igual’ is also a contemporary telenovela based on the life of a girl who is working a prostitute, and finds herself in a love story with a simple boy who falls in love with her and wants her to be by his side in a dignified way. So this girl will have to sort out her own troubles and embrace love,” the executive shared.

“In terms of distribution, we can’t complain, because the market welcomes Record TV’s titles with open arms, and we are constantly finding new business,” he added.

Amor sin igual Telenovela

The Promised Land Telenovela

In this regard, Andrade revealed there will soon be news about the distribution deals announced for the region.

Delmar Andrade,

Director of International Sales at Record TV

“Our telenovelas are now present all over Latin America, as well as in Japan, Portugal and other regions in Europe.” RECORD TV’S PRESENCE IN THE US. In regard to the US market, it’s worth mentioning that not only is Record TV’s content present in major networks such as Telemundo; but the company also has its own local unit: Record TV Américas. “Record TV’s division in Miami exists to care for the North American territory by producing local content aimed at the Brazilian community,” Andrade concluded.

Following the finale of ‘Jezabel’ last year, Record TV already began producing its successor: ‘Genesis’, a new biblical telenovela which will adapt the first book in the Old Testament and tells the story from

the creation of the world to Joseph from Egypt’s trajectory. The title will be the ninth biblical production for Record TV, following ‘Joseph from Egypt’, ‘Moses and the Ten Commandments’, ‘The Promised Land’, ‘The

Rich and Lazarus’, ‘Apocalypse’, ‘Jesus’ and ‘Jezabel’; in addition to the miniseries ‘The Miracles of Jesus’. Filming for ‘Genesis’ began at the company’s Casablanca Studios in Rio de Janeiro, as

well as on location in Rio Grande do Sul and Parana. The plan now is to move the production to Morocco, as Record usually does for its biblical titles. ‘Genesis’ was written by Emilio Boechat

and is directed by Edgard Miranda. It stars Oscar Magrini, Camila Rodrigues, André Bankoff and Igor Rickli, in addition to Carlo Porto and Juliana Boller as Adam and Eve.

Sovtelexport - Russia TV And Radio Sovtelexport is giving audiences a front-seat view of some of the most outstanding moments in Russian history, through a catalog of high-end costume dramas that continue to find new screens around the world. By Carolina Mussio @carolinamussio cmussio@todotv.tv

wner of one of the world’s most coveted collections of Russian content, in 2019 Sovtelexport signed more than 100 licensing agreements for different kinds of rights, with distributors and TV channels in Latin America, the US, Western and Eastern Europe, Asia and MENA countries. “This confirms the interest of international buyers in Russian content”, Julia Matyash, Director of the distribution arm of Russia Television and Radio, said to ttv. “And we are proud to contribute to the popularization and recognition of Russian projects at the global market.”

When it comes to this recognition, one of the most demanded Russian productions in the international market are costume dramas, with titles like ‘Ekaterina’, ‘Anna Karenina’, ‘Sophia’ and ‘Godunov’ among RTR’s best-selling productions; a trend the executive believes will continue in 2020. “Historical dramas will stay demanded,” she remarked. “Viewers get a unique cultural and social experience. The world of costume dramas is so different from the one we are living in and still relevant. A dramatic plot, gorgeous costumes, brilliant actors and lavish decorations keep attracting audiences worldwide,” she added.

A passionate love story between a prisoner Artyom and a Cheka officer Galina unfolds in a place where everybody is striving to survive at any cost. Their love is doomed to be tragical.

These series and miniseries, which cover several genres and themes, have collected numerous local and international awards, such as ‘Sr. Ávila’ (International Emmy Award for Best Non-English Prime Time Series in 2017), and are now also reaching new international territories. “The results obtained in 2019 were excellent in every sense, the team at our international distribution department continues to grow, which ensures our international clients a unique service in terms of follow ups and backup for all areas in the distribution busi-

ness,” Xavier Aristimuño, VP of Licensing at HBO Latin America, said to ttv. According to the executive, the company’s international clients not only enjoy the quality of HBO Latin America’s content, but also all the support in terms or marketing that the HBO brand is known for. A great example has to be the deal with Hulu Japan, announced by the company in January of this year. “Our deal with Hulu Japan joins us with a leading SVOD platform in the country with more than 2 million subscribers, belonging to the Nippon TV group, who is betting on an innovative marketing strategy for two of our world-renowned productions: ‘O Negocio’ and ‘Sr. Avila’,” he said. What results has the company obtained from these exports? “The key is to star rele-

vant for each audience,” Aristimuño said. “At HBO that’s the road we walk down, finding stories that can change over and over again; that are unique, powerful and relevant; and can captivate audiences not only in the region, but the whole world,” he added. “Undoubtedly, the increase and success of multicultural content that’s accepted in different markets which previously used to focus solely on local content, has been an opportunity for new clients to take the time to understand and enjoy the quality of our content,” he said. In this regard, the results for HBO Latin America have been immediate, with a notable rise in sales and recognition across the world. THE LEADING TITLES. To date, the company’s library has over 30 titles adding up to more than 450 hours; including miniseries, series and documentaries. The executive divided the content’s results into three segments: “First, many clients are still interested in licensing our classics that have marked an era in Latin American production, such as ‘Capadocia’, ‘Epitafios’, ‘Prófugos’ or ‘Mandrake’. These titles continue to be sold and renewed,” he said. “Second, there’s the more recent successes, such as ‘O Negócio’, ‘Sr. Ávila’, ‘Magnífica 70’, ‘Psi’ or ‘El jardín de bronce’, to name a few”. “And third come our latest productions, such as ‘A Vida Secreta dos Casais’, ‘Pico da neblina’, ‘Santos Dumont’”. Lastly, the executive mentioned those productions that are still set to premiere this year. “There’s huge expectations and con-

stant interest from clients who want to enjoy our upcoming series, such as ‘O Hospede Americano’, ‘Todxs nosotrxs’, ‘Entre hombres’, ‘Hard’ and ‘Mil colmillos’”. THE POTENTIAL FOR BUYERS. It’s well known that the HBO brand is synonymous with quality and that’s something that opens the doors to many regions around the world. “All of our series have the same production values, wherever they’re made in the world. We continue with our investment in the development of high quality content that’s provocative and revolutionary”, he said. “We always have great expectations for all of our productions, since they’re stories that are socially relevant and can make your mind wonder, while keeping audiences immersed in the plot,” he added.

Entre hombres Series

HBO Latin America is now seeking for new additions to its content lineup for 2020, in countries like Japan, Russia, Australia, the UK, Italy, Turkey or Belgium; and is already final negotiations in France, Germany, India, MENA and several territories in Asia. On the other hand, the company has delved into a new distribution area that has to do with local adaptations. “It’s a possibility for well-known producers to adapt some of our biggest classics, starting with ‘Epitafios’, which will be produced by Deeply Superficial, Thierry Larchkar, ex founder and CEO of Shine France; and Olivier Megaton, renowned director, known for films like ‘Taken 1,2,3’, ‘La colombiana’ or ‘Transporter’”, he said.

THE LINEUP FOR 2020 LGBTQIA+ issues and topics such as racism and harassment. The company is also presenting ‘Mil colmillos’, the first fiction series produced in Colombia and the first horror production for HBO Latin America. Then there’s also ‘Entre hombres’, a story set in the Buenos Aires of the 90s, which shows the underworld of crime at

a time considered the darkest in the history of the local police, in a framework where the social division takes center stage. Finally, ‘Hard’ stands as a comedy series that tells the story of a widow who, after the death of her husband, discovers that the family business was not financial but in the pornography industry.

“THE RISE AND SUCCESS OF MULTICULTURAL CONTENT THAT’S ACCEPTED IN MULTIPLE MARKETS (...) HAS BEEN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW CLIENTS TO UNDERSTAND AND ENJOY THE QUALITY OF OUR CONTENT.”

For this year, HBO Latin America offers a mix of high quality content with risky and original themes such as ‘Pico de neblina’, which premiered at the end of last year.

KI: Behind the Hit-Making Machine Having mastered the art of finding ideas with international potential and the right partners to develop them with, Keshet has amassed a catalog with hits in every genre, and is now on the lookout for its next major projects in Latin America. By Carolina Mussio / @carolinamussio / cmussio@todotv.tv

reating a hit show is difficult. Creating one in every genre is almost impossible. Yet, it’s something Keshet International (KI) has been able to do with ease, consistently coming out with shows in all types of formats that have become global phenomenons. “Here at KI, we are lucky enough to have at least one premium idea or show in our catalogue for every genre”, Kelly Wright, SVP of Distribution and New Business, explained to ttv. If a buyer wants a detective show, KI has ‘Clues’; if it’s a female-driven thriller they want, KI has ‘Secret Bridesmaids’ Business’; or maybe they want an uplifting family drama, then KI has ‘The A Word’. Same thing applies to formats; from ‘Master of Dance’ to ‘Master Class’ or ‘The Hit List’, whether it’s talent, entertainment, game shows or competitions, KI’s got it.

But even though the company produces so many titles, it’s not about quantity, but rather finding the right fit for them. “The

stories and ideas come to us. Then it’s about intuition in terms of knowing which ones to invest into developing, and then parenting the selected few ideas into productions and beyond,” the SVP explained. Once a good concept is on the table, KI has also been notably smart about choosing production partners, with the most recent example being the super-series ‘Preso No1’ for Telemundo, which premiered last summer. This series came out of a creative collaboration between Telemundo and KI, which led to the development of an Israeli paper format from the team behind ‘Wisdom of the Crowd’ into a 64 part high-end drama. And the series lives on: it is now available to Netflix’s subscribers in 190 territories worldwide. “Another creative partnership we are particularly proud of is ‘Our Boys’, the 10-part limited drama co-produced by Keshet Studios with HBO” Wright said. “It was widely praised for telling an Israeli-Palestinian conflict story in a powerful and balanced way.” On the non-scripted side, the executive highlighted the creation of an innovative co-development model for new formats with global appeal. “We like to call “caring is sharing” which has already led to us developing and producing ‘Drive Master’, the brand new primetime talent show featuring ordinary people doing extraordinary things in vehicles, with Russian broadcaster NTV,” she explained. “We’ll be announcing some international sales soon. We also have a number of new formats in our pipeline, including the recently announced dating format, ‘The Big Five’, with South Africa’s M-Net.” “Our ongoing strategy in Latam is developing relationships with leading production companies with the capability to push our big reality shows and formats forward with local broadcasters. For audiences from Mexico to the US, we are always looking to develop smart partnerships like these,” she added. The company is now presenting its new sitcom ‘Farmer Wants a Life’, in addition to the US adaptation of ‘The Baker and the Beauty’ for ABC, and re-introducing two of its best-selling formats, which are seeing a resurgence in the international market: ‘Boom!’ and ‘Deal with it!’. “Keshet Studios has a strong pipeline of content coming through, with projects in development with pretty much every platform. While in the UK, Keshet Productions will be sharing news of a big scripted order from a global platform and some new non-scripted commissions too”, the executive concluded.

Federico Cuervo, SVP and director of Viacom International Studios, shared details about the studio’s highly-anticipated upcoming fiction projects, developed through strategic alliances with renowned creative talents and major international producers.

ince it was first created, Viacom International Studios (VIS) has had one clear mission: to create content that could succeed both locally and internationally. And this past year, the success and multiple adaptations of series like ‘Love After Love’, ‘Graduates’, ‘Dear Daddies’ or ‘100 Days to Fall in Love’, have solidified its position as one of the world’s main providers of Hispanic content.

“AS A STUDIO, ONE OF OUR MAIN STRATEGIES IS TO PARTNER WITH THE INDUSTRY’S TOP CREATIVE TALENTS.”

“Since we announced the creation of Viacom International Studios, the commercial strategy was obviously for our content to go as far as possible”, Federico Cuervo, SVP and director of VIS, said to ttv. “Our goal now is to continue down this road, betting on the international production and distribution of our content,” he added. 26/TTV Magazine

strategies is to partner with the industry’s top creative talents,” he explained. Thus, VIS has recently signed exclusive firstlook deals with talented creatives such as Argentine directors Juan José Campanella and Ariel Winograd; Spanish producer, director and screenwriter, Santiago Segura; or Mexican producer Frida Torresblanco, just to name a few. “We are continuing this initiative to take the best content to audiences around the world, with that particular vision that each one of these amazing talents has,” Cuervo said. These first-look deals, he explained, are “for two or three years, and include several projects and potential productions.” Therefore, the idea “is not to be tied to a specific number” of projects or series, “but rather find the best content possible, regardless of genres or predetermined formats.” PRODUCTION AND CO-PRODUCTION. In this search for having content all over the globe, VIS has opened its doors to alliances with major producers around the world, making co-production one of its main priorities.

“We believe in collaboration. We think this is the moment to work with partners, to find those projects that can connect us creatively,” he said. In this regard, the studio has taken its first steps by working with The Mediapro Studio

Ana Series

in the comedy ‘Victoria Small’ for Telefe; and the upcoming premiere of ‘Los internacionales’, once again with The Mediapro Studio as a partner, in addition to Flow and Olympusat. The executive also highlighted projects with Claro Video, Amazon Prime Video, Diagonal TV, Zeta Audiovisual or Pantaya; in addition to the co-production of ‘Mentiras Pasajeras’ with the producer headed by Spanish director, Pedro Almodóvar; or the production of ‘El asesino del olvido’, the adaptation of hit Turkish series, ‘Persona’, produced by Ay Yapim. “Our idea is to continue expanding these collaborations. We are in conversations for many other projects,” he revealed. “It also brings us great joy to know that our content really connects audiences and through that, they are constantly renewed for further seasons,” he added. For instance, series such as Brazilian comedy ‘Homens?’, with Porta Dos Fundos; ‘Ex on the Beach’ with MTV and Amazon Prime; or ‘Club 57’ with The Mediapro Studio; are all returning this year with new seasons. “This makes us very happy and marks a path we want to continue walking down as a studio,” he concluded.

When an expensive car containing a suicide note - but no body - is pulled from the sea, veteran Northern Ireland police detective Tom Brannick (James Nesbitt - The Missing, Cold Feet) instantly sees the connection to an infamous cold case that holds enormous personal significance for him. Bloodlands follows Tom Brannick’s obsessive campaign to identify and unmask the semi-mythical figure behind the case – code-named Goliath, after the giant shipyard cranes, Samson and Goliath that dominate the Belfast skyline. It contrasts an aspirational urban landscape of new buildings and up-market restaurants with a beautiful, timeless and sometimes unforgiving landscape.
