IN NUMBERS

221.1 million

is how many subscribers The Walt Disney Company has among its streaming services (Disney+, Disney+ Hotstar, Hulu and ESPN+), surpassing Netflix and its 220.7 million subscribers.

December 8 is the date Disney set to launch its AVOD offer in the US available for Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and the Disney Bundle.

1.4 billion

dollars is how much the SVOD market will reach in 2022, and it will exceed 2 billion in five years, according to a report by Omdia.

33.7%

of total TV consumption is represented by OTT platforms, the highest percentage, according to the latest report from Nielsen’s The Gauge.

4.9 million subscribers joined Paramount+ in the second quarter of 2022, according to the latest financial results reported by the company.

1,925,000 subscribers were lost by US pay TV in the second quarter of 2022, a significant increase compared to the 1.2 million lost in the same quarter of 2021, as revealed by Leichtman Research Group.

STREAMING DISNEY SURPASSES NETFLIX IN NUMBER OF OTT SUBS

DISNEY REVEALED ITS FINANCIAL RESULTS for the second quarter of 2022, with numbers that exceeded Wall Street expectations. Disney now has 221.1 million total subscribers for all its streaming services (Disney+, Disney+ Hotstar, Hulu and ESPN+), positioning the group ahead of Netflix and its 220.7 million subscribers. Disney+ added 14.4 million subscribers in the period, reaching 152.1 million at the beginning of July. Most of these additions came from the international market, with the service adding just 100,000 new clients in the US and Canada, versus 6 million in total in the other markets. Hulu, meanwhile, gained 600,000 customers in the US to reach 46.2 million, while ESPN+ added 500,000 to reach 22.8 million. However, despite having surpassed Netflix in number of subscribers, the value per subscriber (ARPU) is much lower, with Disney+ generating 39% of the revenue per Netflix subscriber in the US. Thus, Disney announced a price increase for its Disney+ and Hulu services, which will arrive sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. In addition, the group announced that on December 8 it will launch its AVOD offer in the US, available for Disney+, Hulu, ESPN + and Disney Bundle.

STREAMING PARAMOUNT+ REACHES NEW TERRITORIES IN EUROPE

PARAMOUNT+ ANNOUNCED that it will reach new territories from its launch in Italy on September 15. The platform arrived in the European country with a selection of local original productions, including the drama ‘Circeo’ and the thriller ‘Corpo Libero’. The service has more than 8,000 hours of content, for the price of 7.99 euros (US$8.24) per month. “Paramount+ is rapidly expanding its global presence, o ering audiences around the world an unrivaled slate of content,” said Marco Nobili, EVP and International General Manager for Paramount+. “This launch, followed by Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France in the coming months, will bring Paramount+ to major European markets by the end of the year.”

STREAMING THE COMBINED HBO MAX AND DISCOVERY+ PLATFORM WILL ARRIVE IN LATAM IN 2023

DURING THE PRESENTATION OF ITS FINANCIAL RESULTS, Warner Bros. Discovery nally revealed the plans for its OTT business and the merger of its HBO Max and Discovery+ platforms. As announced by JB Perrette, CEO and president of Streaming and Games, the platform will launch as a single service in the US in mid-2023. The new combined platform, which does not yet have an o cial name, will initially launch in versions with and without ads, and will combine elements of both services. Following its launch in the US, WBD plans to bring the new platform to Latin America in the second half of 2023, Europe in early 2024, Asia in mid-2024, and all other markets in the second half of 2024.

ACQUISITION

AMERICA

MORE POWERFUL AND DIVERSE

By Rodrigo Ros rros@todotv.tv

Following its recent acquisition by Germany’s Night Train Media, Ecco Rights will hold a pre-Mipcom 2022 Upfront in Turkey, exclusively for clients, to celebrate its 10th anniversary and unveil new Turkish dramas such as ‘Hear Me’ and ‘Golden Boy’.

The distribution company Eccho Rights, formerly part of the Kore an media group CJ ENM, was ac quired a few months ago by Night Train Media, a German company focused on investing on and co-producing audiovisual content.

On its tenth anniversary, and with this re newed strength, Eccho Rights aims to sur prise the international market at Mipcom 2022 with new titles and new seasons of successful Turkish dramas, as well as produc tions from its UK branch.

But Eccho Rights’s celebration will begin pri or to Cannes, with a spectacular Upfront to be held on the weekend of October 14-16, exclusively for clients, where the company will present its new titles.

Barbora Suster, Sales & Acquisition Director for Latin America and Iberia, comments on these and other new developments in an in terview with ttv

A few months ago, the acquisition of Eccho Rights by Night Train Media was an nounced. How will the two companies work together? Night Train Media is a Ger man company that is focused on co-pro duction and development, and we are now looking for a common strategy. The idea is to complement each other in the development of new projects. We will have more funds to invest in co-productions and then we will try to distribute everything that is produced jointly.

How is Eccho Rights preparing for Mip com 2022? The weekend before Mipcom we will be hosting an event in Istanbul, which we have already done in previous years, so our clients can join us. It’s an Upfront-type event, where we’re going to be presenting our entire line-up, but in a setting a bit more informal than the usual Cannes meetings. We will be celebrating Eccho Rights’ 10th an niversary on Saturday night and on Sunday we are all going to Cannes.

What new titles will be presented at the Upfront? At the Upfront we will present the same titles we are taking to Mipcom, mainly our line-up of Turkish telenovelas. We are com ing with two or three new titles

and two or three new seasons of returning shows, as well as European productions from our London branch. We expect to add more and more UK productions to our cata log, which gives us more breadth and level in terms of connections and clients.

“Night Train Media is a German company that is focused on co-production and development, and we are now looking for a common strategy.”

Which are the Turkish dramas? One of them is ‘Hear Me’, a series that started in the summer and is doing very well, with more than 10 episodes aired. It’s about students at a very successful private school, so it’s aimed at a younger audience. Not only do we see the problems of the students, but also those of the adults.

And then the brand new one that was re leased a few weeks ago is ‘Golden Boy’, a fam ily saga. It’s about a son of a very rich family who has an agreement to marry a girl from another family of a lesser economic stand ing. The father of this family has two daugh

ters, and they have an agreement to marry the older daughter, but when the groom decides to marry the younger one, a family rivalry is created.

What other titles will you be bringing to Cannes? Apart from the big Turkish produc tions that we will be presenting, I would like to highlight the series that are returning, such as ‘Legacy’, which is back with its third season, and ‘Chrysalis’, also returning for a third season. Both are very successful titles, not only in Turkey, but internationally, and hopefully the third season will bring new in terested customers.

“At the Upfront we will present the same line-up we are taking to Mipcom.”

“The Turkish dramas we will be presenting are ‘Hear Me’ and the brand new ‘Golden Boy’.”

KAREN BARROETA, EVP OF PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT AT TELEMUNDO GLOBAL

By Sebastián Amoroso samoroso@todotv.tv @sebamoroso

TGS: CREATORS OF MEMORABLE STORIES

In the following interview with ttv, Karen Barroeta, Executive VP of Production and Development at Telemundo Global Studios spoke about the US Hispanic giant’s original fiction production initiatives, the opening of its studios in Mexico, the co-production alliance with Inter Medya and the projects currently in development.

Telemundo Global Studios (TGS) is the production studio owned by NBCU niversal Telemundo Enter prises, one of the world’s leading and largest cre ators of Spanish-language content. Heading the di vision since July 6, 2020 as Executive VP of Production and Development, Karen Barroe ta spoke to ttv about the group’s original c tion production initiatives, the opening of its studios in Mexico and the projects currently in production.

How do you feel in this leadership role of a NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises-branded production studio and what are the challenges ahead? I’ve taken on this role with great enthusiasm. I have been preparing for many years to get here. There have been more than 20 years of career where I’ve had the joy of being able to cover areas, from strategy, marketing, sales, busi ness, promotions; and they’ve given me the ability to assume this position. It arrived at the appropriate time. I am very excited, very happy with the challenge, which is gigantic, but I feel very comfortable in this role.

What is TGS’s strategic vision in the cur rent context of global content production and distribution? Telemundo is a wellknown brand. We have been working, and when I say “we”, it is not only from the point of view that I am now part of Telemundo, but that I have been part since we started producing with the company more than 20 years ago. We have built a brand interna tionally. A brand that in the US grew from 0 to 150. We are very happy to be able to say that we are one of the leading producers of high-quality production in Spanish.

We have always sought to have a brand that presents unique, original, surprising and un predictable stories, and where the talent we attract, both behind and in front of the cam eras, wants to be on Telemundo, wants to be part of our stories. Stories that are watch

not only in the US, both linearly and on plat forms, but they also travel the world and are watched by millions of people. The strategy continues to be to create those unique sto ries that catch and attract not only millions of consumers, but also the talent that works with us.

What production models are you most comfortable with at TGS? Telemundo Glob al Studios is a production company that can adapt to the needs of any client in the US or the world. We grew and created know-how that took us years to develop, and today we feel very comfortable working for our main client, which is the network in the US, but also working as a production service or, of

is taking place. Obviously, Argentina and Co lombia are also important, but in the north ern cone, Mexico is a key territory.

Today maybe 50 or 60 series are being pro duced, mostly short-form. As we produce in long format, we have a very high presence in terms of hours, and we will produce both long and short formats. We have always been present in Mexico, but through third parties. Being able to be there now is a really exciting. We are super happy to be able to control of our business.

Is the unit in Mexico already operational? I was just there recently, meeting with the entire team that runs the day-to-day work of

course, co-productions such as, for exam ple, with Inter Medya in Turkey, and some in Latin America. We have already done it with Caracol, RCN, Disney, Globo. We are certain that we can adapt to any of the production models.

TGS announced the opening of a new pro duction unit in Mexico. What are the plans in this regard? Telemundo’s strategy, sup ported by NBCUniversal and Comcast, has been to invest in content, because content is the king of this industry. It doesn’t matter where you watch it, but if it’s Telemundo’s content, the Telemundo brand, then we’re investing in the business’ biggest strength: content.

It is a natural step for Telemundo Global Stu dios to be able to open a production house in Mexico, because Mexiwood is one of the key production territories in Latin America, where a very high percentage of production

Telemundo Global Studios Mexico, and also with the team that is already working on the pre-production of ‘The Lord of the Skies S8’, which is going to be our rst production. It is a super ambitious production, very large, with more than 100 locations, more than 45 star actors. Besides that, we have guest stars, day players, extras… it’s going to be a gigan tic production.

A strategic alliance with Turkey’s Inter Medya for the co-development of origi nal content was announced in May. What does this agreement bring and which projects have the green light? The Turkish product has achieved a wonderful popular ity in Latin America and we had the oppor tunity to ride that wave with them. The idea is to co-produce in Turkey and be a part, not only of choosing the projects, co-develop ing and co-producing them, but also to be able to have more product for our portfolio and for our international sales.

TGS OPENS NEW PRODUCTION UNIT IN MEXICO

NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises announced in June of this year the expansion of its production structure with the opening of a new production unit in Mexico City that operates as Telemundo Global

Studios Mexico. Under Miami-based Telemundo Global Studios (TGS), the new unit will increase the ction and alternative content company’s outdoor production capabilities to meet the growing demand for Spanish-language programming in the

US and around the world. “Our new team in Mexico consolidates Telemundo’s presence throughout the Americas, strengthening our position as the largest producer of Spanish-language ction content in the US,” said Karen

Barroeta, Executive VP of Production and Development at TGS. “This new production unit will leverage our extensive production experience in Mexico along with the unmatched knowledge and strong infrastructure that only NBCUniversal

and Telemundo Global Studios can provide. Telemundo Global Studios Mexico will be a game changer for our industry, as we continue to raise the bar with the best and most relevant stories in Spanish made with the highest production quality,” she concluded.

“We are investing a lot of resources and time in developing more than 25 projects at the moment, each of them in different stages.”

Q&A

We are de ning what the rst project will be. I was just in Turkey a few weeks ago, and I was meeting to assess all the possibilities. We are happy with what we have in front of us. Very soon we will be sharing what that rst project will be. We think it would be for 2023.

How many hours of original content does TGS currently produce? We are developing and producing a gigantic number of hours. Adding production and development we es timate some we will reach about 600 hours, including Turkey and everything we do in the US, as in the rest of Latin America.

What other original ction projects does TGS currently have? We are currently pro ducing ‘El Conde’, starring Fernando Colun ga, Ana Contreras, Chantal Andere, Sergio Sender, Marjorie de Souza. We are produc ing on location in Mexico and also on set. It’s a contemporary period drama, which takes place in two periods, rst in 1930 and then it jumps to 1950. It has these two su per cute stages visually. It’s going to air next year on the network. We are already halfway through production, which takes three units, around 300 or 400 people, not counting ex

tras. When we work on location there are a lot of actors on the set. It is a production that lls us with pride.

We are also working in Miami on a suspense ful thriller drama ‘Juego de mentiras’, which we will be producing at our studios. It is a story that takes place in Los Angeles. Some things will be done there, but the bulk will be in our Miami studios.

With the acquisition of Underground, TGS added an exciting creative pow erhouse to its ranks. What stories and projects are you receiving from Argenti na? Underground is an incredible creative boutique, where there are some minds that have worked in TV for many years. Both Se bastián [Ortega] and Pablo [Culell] and the rest of the team are people with incredible expertise in the industry. Everything that is coming out of there is wonderful. We are very happy with the acquisition. They also produced a couple of short-form ction se ries that we’re going to be seeing very soon and they continue to develop that, both fac tual and ctional. We know that in Argenti na creativity is immense and unlimited, and with Underground we have that source of creativity that pleases us a lot.

What is the value of IP for TGS in the cur rent context of the television industry?

We are investing a lot of resources and time in developing more than 25 projects at the moment, obviously in di erent stages. We are investing to be able to give that devel opment the best team of writers and the right time, always taking into account how relevant the project may be depending on where it is going and what the audience is. We are investing in generating IPs, super se ries, cli hangers, what people want to watch today, in long form and short form.

How do you see this moment in the con tent and media industry and where does TGS stand? We are experiencing a spectacu lar moment, of irruption, of historical chang es, where we no longer decide what people are going to see, or where or when, but rath er we have to focus on what we are going to produce and strengthen our brands, be cause that is what matters in the end. Our vision and mission of creating content that gets people talking That is the most import ant mission for Telemundo.

Where is content in Spanish located to day? It is nice to see how productions in Spanish are being watched worldwide and can be in the Top Ten in all these streaming services. It is a great responsibility to contin ue to hold the bar high so that this continues to be the case. We invest in the development of great stories that can transcend cultures, languages, geographies… That’s what to day’s world is all about, creating memorable stories.

“We invest in the development of great stories that can transcend cultures, languages, geographies.”

“We have licensed ‘Three Sisters’ in many territories such as Spain, Croatia, Romania, South Africa, Israel, and will be announcing new sales in LatAm in the upcoming weeks,” says Türkmen. “The title had great ratings

during its rst season, reaching the number one spot on Tuesday nights. The second sea son started last week, again with very good ratings, so we have no doubt that this will

be one the strongest Turkish dramas of the year.”

‘Three Sisters’ is an adaptation of the 2018 novel by proli c Turkish actor and writer İc lal Aydın of the same name. The story takes place at the end of the 90’s and follows three sisters named Türkan, Dönüş and Derya.

A stroke of luck will change her life.

Acclaimed actor Erkan Petekkaya plays Kadir in an awe-inspiring work: “Erkan is an im portant name in Turkish drama and he was one of the rst Turkish celebrities to reach in ternational fame during Turkish drama and Kanal D’s expansion,” explains Türkmen. “We are known for our story telling and unique way of creating dramas, but I believe our actors and actresses plays a huge role in our success and talents like Erkan’s are very pre cious to us.”

Another huge talent, director Serdar Gö zelekli (‘Love Trap’, ‘Twist of Fate’), is behind ‘Love & Hate’, which marked the re-lauching

our OTT service Dramax,” says the executive. About potential con icts with their products’ distribution windows, Türkmen has no hesitation: “Kanal D Drama is a key

asset for us. Our large catalogue allows us to combine both our content distribution operation and our channel creation projects without cannibalizing each other.”

It’s a fruitful collaboration that we hope will last”.

‘Love & Hate’ is the story of Tolga, a successful young actor, and Asya, a working-class girl who dreams of going to college. They cross paths as Tolga, used to underestimating his young admirers, is dazzled by Asya, forced to a world she is not interested in participating.

A POWERFUL BUSINESS DEVELOPER

As a distributor, and more recently as a production company, Inter Medya’s impact on the international market along its 30 years of existence - and particularly amidst the boom of Turkish content worldwidehas transformed the company into a powerful audiovisual business developer.

It’s a special year for Inter Medya, the Turkish company that is celebrating its 30th anniversary by landing in Mipcom 2022 as one of the most important Turk ish distributors in the international market. A key player that has reached recurrent world wide success with dramas for over a decade.

As a distributor, Inter Medya made part of the international boom of traditional Turkish content. Now, as a production company, it’s participating of the evolution towards a new generation of content that aims to conquer the streaming platforms.

Can Okan, founder & CEO, and Ahmet Zi yalar, president & COO of Inter Medya, talked to ttv about the evolution of the company in these 30 years.

Of all the company’s accomplishments during these 30 years; what are you most proud of?

Can Okan (C.O.): We are proud of the whole experience, including the good and the bad.

All our experiences have turned us into a company that currently distributes Turkish content to more than 150 countries.

Ahmet Ziyalar (A.Z.): We always emphasize that not only we distribute content, but also Turkish culture to the world. This is what we are most proud of!

Broadly speaking, what were the most important moments for the company’s growth during these three decades?

C.O.: There have been many important mo ments, but I think it would take too long to list them all. To summarize: in its rst ten years, Inter Medya’s basic market structure remained more or less the same, but the company soon found itself operating both inbound and outbound. From 2007 on wards, the nature of the content Inter Medya provides radically changed. Turkish TV series and feature lms started to draw broad in terest from international markets. With solid market demands, both locally and interna tionally, Inter Medya became an internation

al company distributing content in over 110 countries. In 2016, we brought together a creative team and started to develop and produce entertainment, reality and game show formats.

A.Z.: In 2019 we established our production team and produced our rst TV series. Later on, we invested on Inter Yapım as an inde pendent production company. We can de nitely say it is a new and exciting adventure for us. Inter Medya continues to expand the Turkish TV and lm industry to foreign mar kets in a stable and reliable manner by under taking the international distribution of both the content supplied by other production companies and Inter Yapım’s productions.

If you were able to talk with your pastselves from the time when you were starting with Inter Medya, what do you think will surprise them most about what the company has become?

C.O.: When I founded this company in 1992, the nature of the work we did was com pletely di erent. Perhaps the one thing that would surprise me the most would be know ing that what we would remarkably change from inbound to outbound. However, if I had known that Turkish TV series would im prove so much and take great stories with excellent production level to the audience, I would have known that this great success of Turkish content in the international market would not have been a coincidence.

What kind of content will Inter Yapim focus on producing?

A.Z.: Our vision is to produce only for the local and international streaming services, not for mainstream broadcasters. We have named this kind of projects as “New Gen eration Turkish Series”. Short form projects produced for OTT platforms, podcasts and content for other new media will also take part in our production strategy. We have no intention at all to produce long ongo ing Turkish Drama series since it demands special expertise and there are very experi enced production houses already doing this in Turkey. We see an opportunity to produce content for the continuously emerging digi

tal platforms both in our country and world wide. We think that this kind of structure ts very well within the innovative, courageous and pioneering nature of Inter Medya.

How important is for Inter Medya to have been such an integral part of Turkish con tent’s growth around the world?

C.O.: Very important! We do this with great responsibility and enthusiasm. Inter Medya

is not just a successful and modern content distributor, but also a powerful business developer with powerful business relation ships and a consultant with 30 years of ex perience in the industry.

A.Z.: We believe that we are an important part of this boom, and even one of its pio neers. Besides, Inter Medya acts as a facilita tor of many industrial transactions thanks to its geographical and political position.

All3 Media

International will be presenting at Mipcom 2022 a varied lineup of scripted and unscripted titles, including the premiere of Drama Republic’s western thriller ‘The English’.

All3 Media International, one of the top production and distri bution companies in the inter national market, will be present at Mipcom 2022 with a varied line-up of scripted and unscripted titles, including Drama Republic’s western thrill er ‘The English’, which will premiere at the Cannes event.

In an interview with ttv, Yari Torres, All3 Me dia International’s VP of Sales for Latin Amer ica, described the company’s current situ ation, its latest news, expectations for this market, and her vision of the post-pandemic opportunities o ered by the international audiovisual industry.

How has this rst post-pandemic year been for All3Media International? Hav ing joined the company earlier this year, it’s been fantastic to see All3Media Internation al’s commitment to quality content across all genres and to see an impressive and in creased interest in the company’s slate from across the region.

Mipcom Cannes will host a red-carpet screening of All3Media’s ‘The English’. What are your hopes for the premiere and for the show in terms of internation al success? ‘The English’ is an extraordinary Western thriller from Drama Republic that incorporates a mesmerizing story, stunning landscapes, visual air, and remarkable per formances led by Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer.

This drama is a prime example of All3Me dia International’s desire to work with the world’s leading creative talent and to bring a diverse slate of scripted programming to our clients.

We’ve already seen the series’ international success following our recently announced round of pre-sales, which included a pan-ter ritory deal with HBO Latin America, and we feel certain the series will continue to go from strength to strength.

What other titles will All3Media be pre senting at the event in Cannes? I’m so looking forward to meeting with clients face to face to discuss our impressive, high-quali ty content from across all genres. Highlights from our scripted slate that I’m really excited about include ‘The Ex-Wife’. It’s a compelling thriller from Clapperboard Studios, BlackBox Multimedia and Night Train Media that is ut terly gripping, full of twists, turns and cli hangers at the end of every episode, with brilliant performances from the ensemble cast. The series also looks stunning, set in an incredibly glamorous, open plan property.

Additionally, we have Clapperboard Studios’ ‘The Holiday’, a sizzling thriller that follows Kate, a woman on holiday with her best friends and their families, who makes a dis covery that leaves her questioning whether her husband Sean is having an a air and that the other woman is one of her best friends.

Also on our scripted slate is critically ac claimed, ratings-winning crime thriller ‘Wit ness Number 3’, from the acclaimed team at Story Films behind ‘The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe’. With a taut, tense script from Thom

“‘The English’ is a prime example of All3Media International’s desire to work with the world’s leading creative talent.”

as Eccleshare, this claustrophobic four-part drama follows Jodie (played by Nina Tous siant-White), a young mother and hairdress er, who witnesses a man seconds before his murder.

From our impressive raft of premium factu al content we have two brilliant titles from 72 Films’: ‘Rise of the Billionaires’, a four-part factual series that explores the origin stories of entrepreneurs, such as Je Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin and Lar ry Page who have built the modern world, and ‘Haunted’, a bold anthology series will explore paranormal stories through a premi um, true crime lens.

I’m also excited about Top Hat Productions’ ‘The Box’, the incredible true story that expos es the truth behind one of America’s worst serial killers, who remained hidden in plain sight for decades and Lion TV’s captivating documentary ‘Stolen: Catching The Art Thieves’.

Finally the format I’m most excited about is ‘The Unknown’ from IDTV, the creators of the international hit format ‘The Traitors’. This new psychological adventure reality series will be launching at Mipcom.

The pandemic has caused the streaming market to explode worldwide, and All 3Media International works with many of the main platforms in the market. How has the company adapted to this increase in demand for content from the OTT world? Quality content is always our primary focus, and we want to continue to provide this for all our clients, so the growth in the stream ing market has meant there is more space to build new partnerships and more interest in the variety of content.

The expansion of big, global platforms into Latin America has also meant that All3Me dia International’s footprint has grown and we now have a much bigger presence in this region. For the example we’ve seen some of our premium content such as ‘The English’, ‘Who is Ghislaine Maxwell?’ and ‘The Tourist’ travel to HBO Latin America, and the upcom ing premium drama ‘The Gymnasts’ from Os car-winning producer Indigo Film acquired by Paramount+.

In this regard, which trends have stood out in the demand for content from your catalog? Are there any genres that have been more demanded than others during the pandemic? Our scripted series has always resonated with the region due the quality of the content and compelling nature of the sto rytelling we o er. A new genre that has seen increased demand from clients is Premium Factual. All3Media International’s premium factual slate has become so elevated in the last few years, and so it’s been brilliant to be able to present such a varied and impressive slate to clients and see high pro le deals for series, such as the aforementioned ‘Who Is Ghislaine Maxwell?’ travelling to a premium platform in the region like HBO.

Now that the international market is more open to content from new, more diverse regions, how is All3Media International’s catalog being received by international audiences? How has this impacted your investment in original productions for the international market? With streaming platforms globalizing, the appetite for more content from across the international mar ket is rapidly growing. A brilliant example of this from our slate is the previously men tioned ‘The Gymnasts’. This captivating Ital ian drama is a co-production between ZDF for Network Movie, Rai and Paramount+,

with the global reach of the streamer mean ing the series has sold to Latin America and will also cover multiple other territories.

We’re absolutely thrilled to be working with all these partners across the internation al market to ensure this premium drama reaches audiences around the world.

Would you like to add anything else? We pride ourselves on working with leading creatives across all genres and this is re ected in the incredibly high-quality slate of content we’ll be showcasing at MIPCOM. The interest in our catalogue from across the region is peaking, so nding partners that o er a perfect home for our content is a top priority for us.

BREAKING THE MOLD

Which fiction series of 2022 have been or will be the result of codevelopment agreements, coproduction, strategic alliances, and new forms of content alliances? Up next, ttv presents a different kind of ranking, to analyze disruptive business models and their production processes at a local and international level.

By Rodrigo Ros / rros@todotv.tv

Central Report

2022 is all about co-development, coproduction, content associations, or simply collaboration agreements... the semantic borders when de ning the terms of an agreement and a production model are as original as the content itself.

In all cases, as always, content is king.

In times where there is so much discussion about the role of platforms in controlling IPs, it is worth remembering that there are several models, and that surely many of them are yet to be discovered.

IN THE FOLLOWING REPORT, TTV REVIEWS 14 FICTION SERIES

THAT WORK AS EXAMPLES.

1. Bosé

A Viacom International Studios (VIS) production in collaboration with Shine Iberia (Banijay Iberia), Elefantec Global and Legacy Rock for Paramount+. It is directed by Miguel Bardem and Fernando Trullols. ‘Bosé’ is a biographical series based on the life of singer Miguel Bosé. A vital journey that starts from his beginnings as an artist, going through the stories behind the inspiration, recording and composition of some of the most iconic songs in his repertoire. Elefantec and Endemol Shine Boomdog have previously co-produced the Amazon Prime Video series, ‘Todo por Lucy’.

2. The Immortal

‘The Immortal’ is not a coproduction agreement. It is an original production by Movistar Plus+ in association with Telemundo Streaming Studios (TSS) and in collaboration with DLO Producciones. Its is one of the biggest bets of the year for TSS, the new division focused on streaming US Latino audiences, launched a little over a year ago. This association allows for the premiere of an original series that involved a long filming process of 17 weeks in different cities of Spain. The series is set in the 90s, when cocaine trafficking and control of Madrid’s nightclubs was in the hands of a gang that monopolized hundreds of covers and TV shows: Los Miami. The name caused panic in those who heard it. And “The Immortal” was their boss.

3. El Internado: Las Cumbres

This production involved close collaboration from The Mediapro Studio group and Atresmedia Studios through Buendía Estudios. In addition to the enormous impact of the series, which confirmed the desire to produce a second season, it involved joint work in the executive production, supervised by Laura Belloso, Laura Fernández Espeso and Javier Pons from The Mediapro Studio, and Ignacio Corrales and Sonia Martínez, from Buendía Estudios. The series tells the story of a group of young people who attend a school with strict discipline, imposed by the center in order to reintegrate them into society. A group of students follows a series of clues that leads them to discover huge conspiracies that could endanger their lives.

4. El Refugio

The production of ‘El Refugio’ was one of the first to come out of the agreement with Pantaya along with ‘Señorita 89’- for the development of original series. On the other hand, the agreement between Fabula Producciones and Fremantle is not new, and this allows the Chilean production company to have a regular flow of projects, including ‘Midnight Family’ or ‘La Jauría’, among others.

‘El Refugio’ tells the story of a family that lives the strangest hours of its life, when unusual phenomena begin to occur, apparently caused by an unknown force of nature. However, everything happens on their screens. When they leave the house, it seems like nothing unusual is happening, just a normal life for a group of people in spring in a Mexican countryside. Parents will have to protect their children from an invisible enemy that they don’t even know exists. What’s real? What has happened to the world they knew before? Is the ranch a refuge?

“The semantic borders when defining the terms of an agreement and a production model are as original as the content itself”.

El Internado: Las Cumbres Amazon Prime

5. Sequía

‘Sequía’ was the result of the rst coproduction agreement between the Portuguese network RTP and the Spanish RTVE. The production was developed by Spanish company Atlantia Media from Spain and Coral Europa from Portugal. This series was a huge work of understanding for a team set up of Spanish and Portuguese speakers. In this story, the town of Campomediano emerges from the waters at the bottom of the swamp that also bears its name, due to an enormous drought. In one of the old houses the human remains of two men appear. Police inspector Daniela Yanes takes charge of the case. The victims, with bullet holes, make it clear that it is a crime that has remained hidden.

6. Las Invisibles

The series, a VIS original production with the participation of Morena Films for Paramount+, also precedes the signing of a rst option agreement between the production company and the platform, announced during the last edition of Conecta Fiction & Entertainment.

A model through which Paramount has been working at di erent levels with several production companies from Latin America and Spain, as is the case of the series ‘Mentiras pasajeras’, a project that emerged as the result of the agreement with the production company El Deseo by Pedro Almodovar. The series tells the story of a group of ve women who face di cult working conditions as maids in a hotel on the Mediterranean Coast.

7. Los artistas

It is an original idea by the writer María Dueñas, and the result of a co-production alliance between Isla Audiovisual from Spain and Powwow from Mexico for ViX+.

Indeed, Dueñas’ books have been successful in the world of streaming, and ‘Los artistas’ is the rst project brought directly to the screen.

The series is about a high risk robbery, full of disappointments and set in the hermetic world of millionaire art.

8. Nautilus

‘Nautilus’ is the result of the rst collaboration between Spanish production company Mediacrest and Colombia’s Dynamo.

This ambitious project will be available through ViX+. ‘Nautilus’ tells the story of three strangers desperate to escape their past, who embark on a suicide mission: a four-week submarine trip across the Atlantic with a shipment of drugs, in which a woman also enters the scene and the police is obsessed with hunting them down.

9. The Beautiful Lie

‘The Beautiful Lie’ is a contemporary version of Leo Tolstoy’s ‘Anna Karenina’, and is based on the 2015 adaptation by Endemol Shine Australia, another subsidiary of the Banijay group. Spanish screenwriters Almudena Ocaña and Aurora García Tortosa (‘Elite’) were part of this new version, and the series is the result of an agreement between Cholawood Productions, Kate del Castillo’s production company, and Endemol Shine Boomdog from Mexico.

The production is available on the Pantaya platform in the US.

“It should be noted that there are many models and surely many of these are yet to be discovered.”

9. La novia gitana

This series is the synthesis of various players who gathered to work on the same project. First of all, the particular vision of Paco Cabezas as director of the series, which ensures a more than special tone to this new series. Second, by bringing together VIS, Paramount’s international studio, and Diagonal TV (Banijay Iberia), with the participation of Atresmedia Televisión, to the same table.

‘La novia gitana’ is a story that follows in the footsteps of Elena Blanco, homicide inspector for the BAC (Brigade for the Analysis of Cases), a woman obsessed with work and tormented by a dark event from her past. She tries to scare away the ghosts of her past through alcohol, sex and music; her while she looks for the culprit of the murder of Susana Macaya, a young gypsy who disappeared after her bachelorette party and with whom someone has performed a macabre ritual that reproduces the death of her sister seven years ago.

10. Pinches Momias

This series is the second one done by Propagate’s new division: Propagate Fuego, a Ben Silverman company specializing in the production of content in Spanish for the US Hispanic market and the world. The first series for this new division was ‘Rebelde’, and with this new one, in association with Perro Azul, they manage to bring to life a story of action, terror and comedy; created by Santiago Limón and José Miguel Núñez for ViX+.

12. Limitless

This series comes from an unprecedented agreement between Amazon and RTVE. Production was handled by Kilima Media and Mono Films. It was directed by Simon West, and it was an enormous challenge for a cast and a technical team that spoke indistinctly in Portuguese, Spanish and English. A super production that narrates the first trip around the world by Magellan and Elcano, which is now 500 years old, and who led an expedition of three ships and 239 sailors, from which only 18 returned.

13. Operación Marea Negra

This production is the result of the association between Ficcion Producciones and Ukbar Filmes for Amazon Prime Video, together with the participation of FORTA through RTVG and RTP, with the help of AGDIC and PIC Portugal. The series is directed by Daniel Calparsoro and Oskar Santos. This thriller based on a true event tells the story behind a handcrafted semisubmersible that crosses the Atlantic Ocean with three tons of cocaine inside. Inside, three men survive storms, currents, breakdowns, hunger, fights and constant police harassment.

14. Todo por Lucy

Endemol Shine Boomdog and Elefantec Global have teamed up to acquire the rights to the popular comedy series ‘I Love Lucy’, and adapt it into “a reimagined modern version” for Amazon Prime Video. The series in Spanish will be seen exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in Latin America and the US, and the rights to the format are licensed by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group.

MISTCO BRINGS ITS FIRST CO-PRODUCTION TO CANNES

By Luis Cabrera lcabrera@todotv.tv @luis_cabreram

The Turkish distributor, internationally recognized for its successful work with TRT’s vast content catalog, arrives at Mipcom with a big surprise: its first co-production, the upcoming drama ‘Bahar’.

As in every event, the catalog rep resented by Mistco is one of the strongest in the market when it comes to international dramas, as a result of its representation agreement with TRT, Turkey’s main broad caster. For Mipcom Cannes 2022, the distrib utor will present titles such as ‘The Secret of an Angel’, ‘Reckless Love’, ‘Perfect Match’ and ‘Balkan Lullaby’, in addition to new seasons of ‘The Shadow Team’ and ‘The Great Seljuks: Alparslan’, among others.

However, the biggest novelty in its catalog is ‘Bahar’ (original name ‘Kader Oyunlari’), the rst title co-produced by Mistco, in agree ment with Üs Yapim.

“It is our big surprise for our partners world wide, because as a result of Mistco’s exper tise in distribution of Turkish content, we have decided to create our own IP with a co-production with Üs Yapim,” says Aysegul Tuzun, Managing Director at Mistco.

Üs Yapim is the production company re sponsible for titles like ‘Hold My Hand’, the Turkish best-selling title in 2019, ‘Melek’, ‘The Blackboard’ and ‘Between Us’. “The two com panies merge their experience, because Üs Yapim has great knowledge for producing successful dramas, both local and interna tionally,” explains Tuzun.

“At Mistco, we believe first in our partner expertise, and we are confident that ‘Bahar’ offers everything that the buyers seek.”

MISTCO BRINGS THE SECRET OF AN ANGEL, THE NEW TRT DRAMA

Despite embarking on this new venture, Mistco’s main role is still as distributor of TRT’s library and upcoming titles. For Mipcom, Mistco will be highlighting new seasons of ‘The Great Seljuks: Alparslan’, a title that has been sold to over 40 countries, including a recent sale to Israel; ‘An Anatolian

Tale’, this year’s highestrated Turkish drama, now entering its fourth season; and ‘The Shadow Team’, which in its third season will have Murat Yıldırım (‘Aziz’) as the new lead. The catalogue also includes new dramas, such as ‘The Secret Of An Angel’, a new TRT1 series (the premiere is set for this October)about a family

whose members see their lives changed abruptly by a tragedy.

The series, a Gold Film production, has an impressive cast, lead by Alp Navruz (‘Hold My Hand’) and İrem Helvacıoğlu, (‘Lifeline’). Another ambitious new TRT production that Mistco is bringing to Cannes is the yet to be released ‘The Hunter’.

“We are trying a di erent model: we will produce the content and then we are going to look for a home for it, be it in the local or international market,” details Tuzun. “The im portant thing is that all international buyers trust Turkish content, doesn’t matter if it is on air in Turkey or not. Sometimes Turkish broadcast numbers doesn’t mean anything for the international success of the titles. What matters is the story, and ‘Bahar’ is very strong in that regard.

The con dence that Mistco has on the title will translate in the production of the whole rst season, without the normal dependen cy that Turkish titles have on broadcasters and weekly ratings.

‘Bahar’, which is already in production and set to start shooting this month, is a daily drama that sticks to the strengths of tradi tional Turkish storytelling: “Today any genre from Turkey is well-accepted by internation al audiences, but there is still demand and

need for traditional Turkish dramas,” com ments Tuzun. “So our project will perfectly ful ll these needs in the market.”

“As Mistco, we are con dent rst in our partner expertise, and we believe that ‘Bahar’ o ers ev erything that the buyers seek,” she adds.

The drama tells the story of Bahar, a young girl who, despite all the darkness that sur rounds her, is struggling to keep the good ness inside her heart. After witnessing the murder of her father, Bahar is trying to prove that Aysun, her stepmother, committed the homicide. At the same, the loving relation ship she is developing with Demir, whom she met just days before the death of her father, grows day by day, but things get even more complicated when [Aysun also becomes. Aysun also becomes obsessively attached to Demir and is determined to win him at any cost.

One of the most interesting developments behind this Mistco and Üs Yapim co-pro duction is that it is moving forward without a broadcaster or platform behind it, some thing new for a Turkish production.

This distinctive production model opens the opportunity for new kinds of partnerships: “We are not only looking for broadcasters, we are open to discuss any co-production opportunity, since we are still early in the production stage. I think it will be a di erent kind of experience for everyone in the mar ket,” says the executive.

The distributor — now also producer— is al ready looking forward to extending its part nership with Üs Yapim and also developing a production branch, currently in a develop mental stage: “We have a division to support the work of Üs Yapim, but since this is our rst experience, we are still learning, step by step, about the production side”, says Tuzun.

“We are trying something di erent in the market, but we believe that having your own IP is very precious these days,” explains Tuzun. “We have been representing TRT for many years, and with a lot of success, and we believe that Mistco is one of the strongest Turkish distributors. For our company, this was a good time to move one step forward.”

“The world is changing and we hope this will open more doors for the whole industry,” added Tuzun.

And RTVE’s expansion is not only in Latin America, but also in the US with the incor poration of Clan into Sling TV, Dish’s digital outlet. “Surely by the end of the year we will have some more news,” she concluded.

“In fiction, we are bringing to Mipcom ‘Peace Force’ and ‘The Hunt. Guadiana’, which will premiere in the last quarter of the year.”

With the growing popularity of international content, the company continues to add new localization services, including new dubbing and mixing rooms in its expanded Mexico studios.

tinent on a daily basis. At Haymillian we took advantage of this knowledge and we built on it to maintain business continuity while keeping team members and clients safe,” added the executive.

The truth is that the pandemic had a “posi tive e ect” on the localization business. “The increase in content demand brought along an increase in the demand for dubbing, sub titling, and access services, as well as a diver si cation of services and an increased need for fast turnarounds. The increased demand for content, in turn, resulted in an increased demand for localization and access services when most industries were seeing their turnover decline,” explained Irazábal.

The growing popularity of international content, with countries seeking productions from new territories, has also had an impact on the dubbing and subtitling industry.

DOLORES IRAZÁBAL, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AT HAYMILLIAN

“Our studios in Mexico have experienced continued growth during the past two years.”

With the global rise and consol idation of OTT platforms, the localization of content is now the key to meet the growing demand of international audiences. In this context, and with processes picking up speed up after almost two years of pan demic, content localization companies have been steadily growing within the dynamics of the audiovisual industry.

“Adapting to a new reality is not something we only had to do during the pandemic, as our industry is constantly changing and ad aptation needs to be continuous,” explained to ttv Dolores Irazábal, Business Develop ment Director at Haymillian.

“I believe that for the localization industry the adaptation to the new ‘pandemic’ nor mal was a bit easier, as we collaborate with people located in a di erent country or con

“The rise of international content has had a signi cant impact on us. More and more often we provide services in languages with limited demand until recently, like Asian and Eastern European languages,” a rmed Irazábal.

“Today, Korean, Japanese and Chinese are part of our everyday life at work. On top of this, in the past couple of years, the content

genres have also diversi ed, and we now receive orders for dubbing anime, web se ries, and educational content, in addition to feature lms, documentaries, and animation which have always represented an import ant percentage of the projects we work on,” she added.

Regarding Haymillian’s presence in Latin America, the executive highlights that the company has expanded its presence in the region by opening new studios in Mexico in 2020.

“Our studios in Mexico have experienced continued growth during the past two years. The number of dubbing projects they cater to increases steadily. Currently we are work ing nonstop and we look forward to con tinuing this tendency,” remarked Irazábal.

In order to meet the growing needs of its cli ents, Haymillian has expanded its studio by adding new dubbing and mixing rooms.

“It is a busy but happy time for Haymillian, as we are working on several big projects right now. We are dubbing anime into Spanish and Arabic, while we have just nished dub bing nine Korean drama series for CJ & ENM. At the same time, we worked on a number of Turkish series which are quite popular in Latin America,” concluded Irazábal.

THREE DRAMAS AND A REALITY FOR LATAM

By Sebastián Amoroso @sebamoroso samoroso@todotv.tv

For Latin America at Mipcom 2022, Red Arrow Studios International is focusing on the dramas ‘Plan B’, ‘Departure’ and ‘Australian Gangster’ in addition to the new reality show ‘Claim to Fame’, with multi-screen rights.

In terms of dramas, the company is present ing ‘Plan B’, an anthology series of Canadian origin with three seasons of six episodes each. “Each story is encapsulated within its season. It deals with individuals who are sent to the past to modify the future. It is not a science ction series, although the premise seems like science ction,” Robles explained.

It is followed by the third season of ‘Depar ture’, a thriller about a team of investigators investigating unexplained events, such as the disappearance of a plane, a train and a ferry,” he said. “The series was acquired by Globoplay and Paramount+ in Latin Amer ica, and now the rights for Free TV are be coming available,” he added.

Meanwhile, ‘Australian Gangster’ is the third drama title, a miniseries with a single season based on real events. “It’s a story of ambition and revenge set in the underworld of Syd ney,” said Robles.

ZASHA ROBLES, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF SPIRAL INTERNATIONAL

Finally, within the new content o er from Red Arrow Studios International for Latin America, there is the ‘Clame to Fame’ com petition format. “It is a reality show that is already sold in the United States and that now we are going to be presenting for Free TV in the region, both at Mipcom and Mip Cancun,” the executive said.

On ‘Claim to Fame,’ twelve contestants, each of whom has a famous relative, move into a house together and are tasked with deduc ing which celebrities the other contestants are related to while also keeping their own celebrity relative a secret.

In each episode, the contestants participate in a competition. The winner receives immu nity for the round and a bonus clue about another contestant.

At the end of the episode, the contes tants secretly vote between the two low est-ranked performers in the competition to be the “guesser” for the round. The guesser will then choose any other non-immune contestant and announce which celebrity he thinks the other contestant is related to. If the guesser is correct, the other contestant will be eliminated; if the guesser is wrong, the guesser will be eliminated instead.

Red Arrow Studios International will be participating in this new edition of Mipcom, where it will be priori tising three dramas and a new en tertainment format, with exclusive rights for Latin America.

“These three great dramas have already launched in the rest of the world, but they are brand new for Latin America,” Zasha Robles, Managing Director of Spiral Inter national, a company that represents Red Ar row Studios International in the region, said to ttv. “We will also be prioritising ‘Claim for Fame’, a new format that has recently suc cessfully aired on ABC network in the United States.”

BIBLICAL DRAMAS CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY

By Sebastián Amoroso @sebamoroso / samoroso@todotv.tv

The Brazilian giant is still actively expanding its universe of biblical dramas in the international market, with a catalog that hasn’t stopped growing for the last eight years, registering notable audience results across multiple screens and territories.

For more than eight years now, Bra zil’s Record TV has been reaching new markets with its o er of bib lical dramas, super productions based on the texts of the Bible, which have been able to conquer audienc es in Latin America and the US Hispanic, to become a true international television phe nomenon.

In this context, the Brazilian giant continues to expand its content, and after participating at Iberseries Platino Industria last Septem ber, it’s looking to enter the Spanish market.

In dialogue with ttv, Delmar Andrade, Direc tor of International Sales of Record TV, spoke about the Brazilian network’s latest initia tives and titles, including the new biblical super production ‘Reyes’ (‘Kings’), currently on air with great success in Brazil.

What results did you obtain from Iberseries Platino Industria? We are satis ed. It was the rst time for Record TV participat ing in Iberseries Platino Industria, a market in which we presented, in addition to our catalog of series, the biblical telenovelas ‘Genesis’ and ‘Kings’. Although Spain is a di erent market from Latin America, we are already in the negotiation phase with local clients and we are ready to enter the Spanish market with biblical dramas, which already consumes Mexican telenovelas and

Turkish dramas, which are dubbed in Mexi co just like we do.

As an advantage, we believe that in addition to being extremely competitive products, biblical dramas do not expire. Our biblical product is also extremely tested throughout Latin America and the Hispanic US market. In addition, for ve years they have been present very close to Spain, in Portugal.

Biblical dramas have given Record TV a relevant position in the international market… We have been expanding the uni verse of biblical dramas in the international market for more than eight years. We are the only ones in the world that carry out bibli cal productions with high budgets and high production quality. They are productions that are characterized by their strict histori cal delity. And that is why our products have garnered success for many screens, such as Univision in the US, which for six years has shown Record TV products, maintaining a total leadership position in the market. Now we are entering Puerto Rico. Our products have the ability to o er customers unique stories that encourage audience loyalty.

How is Record TV preparing for Mipcom?

This year we will not be physically present in Cannes. But we will do it through adver tising in specialized media. We understand that the last event in Cannes had practically

no attendance, and today the world has be gun to look closely at the costs of travelling, and the Mipcom market has very high pric es compared to what they were before the pandemic.

What do you think about Natpe moving to the Bahamas? We still haven’t decided if we will be participating. I am a total sup porter of the Natpe event returning to Las Vegas, because everything is done in a ho tel, everything becomes easier, the attend ees also have the opportunity to entertain themselves, and the costs are lower. I’ve al ways stood behind the idea of it being held in Las Vegas, even when it was moved to Mi ami. I don’t know to what extent the event

“We have been expanding the universe of biblical dramas in the international market for more than eight years.”

in the Bahamas will be interesting. We are all waiting to see.

Prior to Natpe Bahamas, the stop will be MipCancun. What expectations do you have for this market? We will participate for the fourth year. MipCancun is the perfect example of a good business strategy, very well thought out. It has a very fast speed, it’s 30 minutes for each meeting and it real ly is a market design that works. In addition, Cancun is much more accessible for buyers. It is an event that has really given Record TV results. For us it is essential to build relation ships with new operators.

What opportunities do you see in the proliferation of streaming platforms? Our product is already present on many platforms. Record TV owns two platforms. But, in addition, for example, the telenovela ‘Moses and the Ten Commandments’ is on Net ix today. We are open to the market of all platforms. Of course, the agreement has to be good for both parties. Nowadays, due to competition and the huge penetration of SVOD, many players want exclusivity, some thing that we cannot o er. Or they also want a revenue share agreement, which for us does not work well. Today the market is ex ploring new models and that is why we have to work step by step, very carefully.

Who does Record TV work with for dub bing content? We are dubbing everything into neutral Spanish with Universal Ciner gia in Mexico. And, for example, when we do the dubbing into French, we do it with Civisa Media in Argentina. They have o ces in Paris and Marseille. They do a very good dubbing.

How is the biblical telenovela ‘Kings’ do ing in Brazil? The third phase of ‘Kings’ has already begun in Brazil. We are very hap py with the ratings. This third season has

“THE TELENOVELA MOSES AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IS NOW ON NETFLIX.”

achieved better numbers than the second. It is a show designed for the whole family.

Any other news regarding international distribution? We closed an agreement with the Vera TV group from Russia, which is a YouTube channel that covers seven coun tries of the former Soviet Union that will be showing our biblical products dubbed into Russian in these countries.

RECORD TV PREMIERES THE THIRD SEASON OF ‘KINGS’

On August 10, Record TV premiered the new season of ‘Kings’, the biblical series that continues its story with its third installment. ‘Kings’ tells the story of the nation of Israel, from the moment in

which the last judge, the prophet Samuel, is used by God to guide his people, until the unfortunate fall of Jerusalem, caused by the armies of Babylon. The telenovela shows the pains, joys and stories of the main

kings of Israel in the leadership of the nation. Audiences see David, hailed to this day and remembered for his love and faithfulness to God. They follow his son Solomon, known for his wisdom, arriving

in the kingdom and losing himself in his vanity. They walk through the books of Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, and explore in depth the writings of I and II Kings and I and II Chronicles, which will be revived in a unique way

by those who decide to immerse themselves in this story of valuable teachings. ‘Kings’ airs from Monday to Friday at 9:00pm; with the best moments of the week replayed on Saturdays, at the same time, on Record TV.

FROM BRAZIL TO THE WORLD

By Sebastian Amoroso samoroso@todotv.tv

The Brazilian giant arrives at Cannes with several novelties for the international market, including the telenovelas ‘Pantanal’, ‘All Flowers’ and ‘In Your Place’, as well as titles such as ‘Aruanas 2’, ‘Unsoul 2’, ‘Hidden Truths 2’ and ‘Dissident Archangel’ by Globoplay Originals.

There is no doubt about it: if you think of Brazilian TV, you obvi ously think of Globo, one of the world’s largest producers of au diovisual content. For decades, the Brazilian giant has been a powerhouse of worldwide hits, led by its successful tele novelas, and today, in response to changes in the industry and its impact on consumer habits, it is diversifying their o erings with a slate of high-impact premium series.

In a conversation with ttv, Angela Colla, Head of International Sales at Globo, de tailed the current situation of the inter national sales area, the new titles to be presented at Cannes, and her views on the current state of the audiovisual industry.

On which international markets is Globo’s content focusing today? We already have

a strong, consolidated presence in Latin America, an important territory for the com pany, as well as the United States. In addition to key-countries such as UK, Spain, France, Italy, and UAE, Eastern Europe is a very im portant and strategic market for Globo. Due to our portfolio’s characteristics, comprising products that can adapt to di erent formats and platforms and with universal plots, we

understand that we are a player with the ca pacity to meet the market needs and diverse cultures.

One of your greatest products that is be ing launched on the market is the new version of ‘Pantanal’. How has it been received by the international market?

‘Pantanal’ is a product with proven success and with a huge potential for conquering international markets. With a narrative that breaks down barriers and relates to di er ent groups, the telenovela has already been receiving very positive results. We recently closed two licensing deals for the produc tion: with Paramount, the telenovela will be shown on the premium Paramount+ streaming and on the leading broadcast TV channels Telefe (in Argentina) and Chi levisión (in Chile), as well as special content about the series on the free streaming Pluto TV; and with Dori Media, the soap opera will be shown in Israel.

What are the latest deals you have closed this year? In which territories, by what titles and through which windows? Besides Paramount, our most recent agreement was with Dori Media, which, in addition to ‘Pan tanal’, includes the telenovelas ‘In Your Place’, ‘A Life to Die for’, and the re-exhibition of ‘In dia: A Love Story’.

Speaking of ‘In Your Place’, the telenovela is one of the highlights among Globo’s 2022 releases. The telenovela premiered in Au gust on Teledoce, Uruguay, and replaced ‘Life Worth Living’ on RTL, Hungary. The pro duction also premiered on Canal 13, in Chile, in June, and has been on air in Portugal, on SIC, since July.

Globo is one of the largest producers of TV content in the world and has a diverse portfolio in di erent genres and formats. Which are the formats and titles that travel the most today? We produce quality con tent, with universal themes and with high power of engagement. For a long time, tele novelas were our main product. ‘Brazil Ave nue’, for example, was sold to more than 140

“‘Pantanal’ is a product with proven success and with a huge potential to conquer international markets.”

ly, three thousand hours of entertainment content. To this, we add content produced by more than 100 independent producers, with whom we maintain partnerships for all of Globo’s platforms.

What will Globo be presenting at Mipcom 2022? We will take a diversi ed portfolio, with di erent dramas and formats, with the potential to meet di erent business strate gies. Our bets are the telenovelas ‘All Flowers’, which will be presented to the international market during the event, ‘Pantanal’ and ‘In Your Place’. We will also present titles by Glo boplay Originals such as ‘Aruanas 2’, ‘Unsoul 2’, ‘Hidden Truths 2’ and ‘Dissident Archangel’.

What expectations do you have for the post-pandemic Cannes market? It will be very positive to return to these meetings in person. Mipcom is an excellent opportunity for the relationship with our partners and market colleagues. Furthermore, we aim to arouse interest in our products, warm up leads, and reinforce Globo’s position as a strategic partner for the market’s top deci sion makers.

How do you see the international content market? The content consumer’s behavior has been changing a lot around the globe,

something that was greatly accelerated during the pandemic. Each market has its particularities, but after such an intense pe riod, the public, overall, has been searching for content that is easy to watch and has re alistic dialogues. Another movement of the industry is to be more and more data-driv en: data is already a major ally for strategic decisions, and it will be increasingly critical for our business, in a way that we will have products more targeted to the public’s con sumption behavior.

In this sense, how does Globo posi tions itself in the global context of the “streaming wars”? Regardless of the proj ect format and duration, we believe in the strength of Globo’s stories. Our main di er ential is in the productions that engage the public through real plots, strong characters, and narratives with which the audience can identify, wherever they are. This is only pos sible because the consumer is always at the center of our decisions. Moreover, as part of Globo’s Mediatech journey, we increasingly have good content added to technology for production and distribution as the key to continue taking Globo’s stories around the world.

countries. But for some years now, we have been investing in series and content devel oped exclusively for streaming, such as ‘Un der Pressure’, a medical series that is already in its fth season.

What annual investment in terms of hours and titles does Globo produce in both formats? Globo Studios produces, annual

GLOBO’S NEW TELENOVELA THE PATH IS ALREADY IN PRODUCTION

GMA TO UNVEIL NEW HIGH-END DRAMAS AT MIPCOM

By Carolina Mussio cmussio@todotv.tv @carolinamussio

Through the more than two years of the TV and entertainment in dustry being shaken and recon gured by the global Covid-19 pandemic, GMA Network contin ued to grow and adapt, to still remain the largest and most important media group in the Philippines.

Owner of a vast catalog of original produc tions spanning drama, comedies, rom-coms, mystery and more, the company has been able to grow in the international market, both in the traditional and digital spaces, developing content at a notable rate.

ROXANNE J. BARCELONA, VICE PRESIDENT/CONSULTANT AT

Through a catalog of successful original dramas, GMA Network continues to grow steadily in the international market, conquering new territories in both the traditional and digital spaces. And now, they are headed to Mipcom to showcase the three latest additions to this highlydemanded catalog.

“Due to the pandemic, we have had to insti tute numerous innovations in the past two years. Although we have learned to adjust and cope with the production limitations of the dramas, the rate at which we are churn ing out the nished product is quicker than two years ago at the start of the pandemic”, said Roxanne J. Barcelona, Vice President/ Consultant at GMA Network Inc, Worldwide Division.

“Fortunately, we are able to o er and make fresh content available to our partners”, she said.

In this regard, the company’s most-demand ed content is still dramas and is thus its pri mary focus for the international market.

“Interest in our content is constant”, the ex ecutive explained. “There is a steady stream of returning and new clients who are sourc ing series with universal themes revolving around family, love, and revenge. Our dra mas stay connected to long-held traditions and values about family and country. This makes the dramas relatable to the experi ences of our international audience”.

“The dramas also feature versatile actors who have a mixture of Asian and Western fa

cial features. Most of our dramas also feature strong female leads, and this contributes to their success”, she added.

The executive also highlighted the popu larity of GMA’s romantic dramas which still appeal to many of its international clients. An example is ‘I Left My Heart in Sorsogon,’ a romcom which was one of the mostwatched primetime series in the Philippines.

It is the story of a highly successful woman in a love triangle. The series features real-life “crazy rich Asian” Heart Evangelista in haute couture out ts from some of the world’s leading fashion houses. It is shot amidst breathtaking scenery from the southern province of Sorsogon. “We nd that viewers prefer this type of story that gives hope and touch the heart”, she explained.

The company is also seeing an increased interest in crime and mystery dramas. In this genre, the executive highlighted GMA’s miniseries ‘AlterNate’, an installment in the anthology series ‘I Can See You,’ is a dark and intriguing story about twin brothers who switch lives.

In addition, GMA premiered several crime dramas this year, such as ‘Widow’s Web,’ about the mysterious death of a man involv ing three women, and ‘Article 247’, about a woman haunted by the deadly consequenc es of her a air with her boss.

These new and exciting contents have al lowed GMA Network to thrive in the global

Break Shot Drama

market during the pandemic. “Despite the challenges, the company has seen growth in its business in Sub-Saharan Africa and Lat in America, and more recently, clients from Southeast Asia are slowly coming back,” she explained.

And the growth wasn’t just in terms of terri tories, as GMA was also able to excel in the digital space, registering signi cant growth in the OTT landscape. “This is why we con tinue to push our content in this direction by establishing more partnerships with major OTT platforms and providing simultaneous streaming rights as required by our tradi tional free and pay TV clients. In addition, we are in discussions with potential internation al partners to create content which targets online viewers” the executive explained.

“The pandemic has permanently changed the global streaming landscape. We now manage our business in what experts call an “attention economy.” Globally, there has been a signi cant shift to ad subscription services and a decline in linear TV. Ad-sup ported and subscription-based streaming has been developing even before Covid-19 happened. Naturally, marketing and ad spending have been migrated to these plat forms”, she added.

And now, GMA Network is hoping to grow even further by reconnecting with its clients and extending its contacts during the up coming Mipcom in Cannes, where they will be present in person with a catalog of new titles.

“With the resumption of physical trade mar kets, GMA Network will attend Mipcom and ATF. Through our participation in these mar kets, we will resume face to face meetings with buyers from all over the world,” she said.

“In-person events are more fruitful because we have the opportunity to personally meet with key industry entertainment players for content across all platforms to discuss their programming needs for 2023”, she added.

GMA will launch three new titles for this year’s Mipcom, starting with ‘Widow’s Web’, a mystery drama about three women sus pected of being involved in a twisted mur der case of a man with whom they are all connected.

Then there’s ‘Break Shot’, a story of a streetsmart young girl from the slums who hopes to become a professional pool hustler in order to earn money and make it big. She learns that winning at pool and life are lled with challenges, especially for a girl in the male-dominated world of billiards.

Lastly, the company is presenting ‘Article 247’, a crime drama series that portrays a woman’s journey as she tries to move on from the con sequences of her past entanglement with her boss and his psychopath wife.

“Despite the challenges [from the pandemic], GMA Network has seen growth in its business in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, and more recently, clients from Southeast Asia are slowly coming back.”

SPAIN, A WORLD-CLASS AUDIOVISUAL HUB

By Sebastián Amoroso samoroso@todotv.tv @sebamoroso

Spain’s Exports and Investments (ICEX) is the institution in charge of boosting the internationalization of the Spanish companies that will attend Mipcom 2022 as part of Audiovisual from Spain, with over 100 participants and 15 companies this year.

The Spanish audiovisual sector is undergoing interesting times in the global context, with brand new mechanisms dedicated to strengthening and internation alizing the country’s content and talent. Spain’s Exports and Investments (ICEX) is the institution dedicated to take local compa nies worldwide, as well as to attract invest ments to Spain.

In conversation with ttv, Pablo Conde Díez del Corral, Director of Fashion, Habitat & Cultural Industries of ICEX, reveals the main aspects of a process that will take more than 100 participants and 15 companies to Cannes this year.

The Spanish audiovisual sector has been experiencing an unprecedented interna tional boom in the last few years. How does ICEX take advantage of these fa vorable times? We are living exciting times

for the Spanish audiovisual market and this makes things easier for us. The Spanish gov ernment has launched the “Spain, Audio

visual Hub of Europe” plan, which aims to turn Spain into a hub by investing 1.6 billion Euros in order to increase the country’s pro duction in 30% in the next three years. This makes things easier for us.

In addition, we are experiencing a momen tum of the audiovisual sector, with all the in ternational awards we are winning -such as the Emmy to animated series ‘Trollhunters’, the Oscar to Alberto Mielgo, or the Golden Bear to ‘Alcarrás’ in Berlin-, thanks to the ex cellent level of our ction. We are second Eu ropean country that produces more ction and this paves the way for ICEX. Amidst this huge success, our umbrella brand, Audiovi sual from Spain, is a collective project built with joint e ort with the aim of taking bene ts to all Spanish players.

Does the development and growth of the sector also mean new challenges for ICEX? We need to keep up with all the com panies’ needs. Our only purpose is to serve our companies, to work towards their in ternationalization and to make them more competitive by helping them gain access to funding -which is one of their biggest and recurrent challenges- and sale their content internationally. As a public-private venture, we need to stay up to date in dynamic times.

What bene ts has the hub brought to the audiovisual sector? What kind of inqui ries are you receiving from the interna tional market? Out of the 1.6 billion Euros, ICEX is dedicating 20 million for the audiovi sual sector, an amount divided in two verti cals. For more than 40 years, ICEX has taken care of the internationalization of all sectors of the Spanish economy in order to boost the audiovisual sector in two main areas. First, to promote our contents and talent in ternationally, as in the case of Mipcom. This means to take our talent worldwide, special ly our female talent, and to gain access to funding, one of the main challenges of this

“Our only purpose is to serve our companies, to work towards their internationalization and to make them more competitive.”

industry, both public nancing through co production and private nancing through investment funds and other investors willing to jump in the audiovisual business.

Secondly, we also have been assigned the role of attracting audiovisual productions to Spain through Invest in Spain and to gether with the Spain Film Commission. Actually, all the exposition we are receiving through the hub is really working for us, since we have really attractive tax incen tives, which adds to great talent. This rep resents a unique scenario for the rest of the countries, since it’s rare to have both quali ties in the same location.

How many production and distribution companies are under the Audiovisual from Spain umbrella brand today? Any Spanish company is entitled to make part of this umbrella brand, so we don’t have an ex act number of members. It depends on the needs of each company.

How many audiovisual productions did Spain exported in the last year? We don’t have data on exports, but more than 90 productions are being currently developed in Spain, 25 of which are second seasons. This is a good sample of the great moment we are experiencing and the great job that is being done.

How would you describe Audiovisual From Spain’s participation in Mipcom?

We will strengthen all we have been doing along this year. Audiovisual From Spain has participated in the main international mar kets of 2022. We hope Mipcom takes place reaching full market normality. The ICEX pa vilion will include some 100 executives and 15 companies, added to the 300 companies under the Audiovisual From Spain umbrella brand. We will have two stands, the tradi tional one in Riviera 7 and another in Riviera 9, which will be focused on coproduction.

What message would you like to send to the international industry? For interna tional companies, be sure that ICEX is at your

full disposal. We have a speci c bureau ded icated to help you in all aspects related to shootings, visas, tax inquiries and contacts of content and service providers. ICEX is a facilitator with the aim of bringing together Spanish and foreign companies.

I also want to tell the Spanish companies that ICEX has been making huge coproduction e orts in the last year, and we will continue to in the following years. We are very inter ested in collaborating, not only with sales agents and distribution companies, which is our traditional scope, but also in produc tion and coproduction ventures, trying to increase the presence of our companies and talent in the main international fairs.

“More than 90 productions are being currently developed in Spain, 25 of which are second seasons.”

“ICEX has been making huge coproduction efforts in the last year, and we’ll continue to in the following years”.

EXPANDING THE CONTENT FOOTPRINT

IN LATAM

By Sebastián Amoroso samoroso@todotv.tv @sebamoroso

eOne continues to position itself as an ideal partner for players looking for unique and premium content such as ‘Operación Marea Negra’, the company’s first original Spanishlanguage series, aiming for new co-production alliances in Latin America.

As a leading company in the audiovisual market, eOne follows the evolution of the industry with a unique and robust content portfolio including premium ction series. Understanding the current market dynamics, the company has produced ‘Op eración Marea Negra’, its rst Spanish-lan guage ction series that is licensed through out Latin America, including Brazil. From this rst experience, the company seeks to ex pand its slate of originals through alliances with local partners.

David Hanono, eONe’s VP of Sales for Latin America, spoke with ttv about these plans, as well as the latest news that the company will present at Mipcom 2022.

What is eOne’s current balance in terms of production and international content distribution? We continue to expand our content footprint in Latin America and Bra

zil, as well as in the US Hispanic market. For example, we received tremendous interest in our rst original Spanish-language se ries ‘Operación Marea Negra’, which we li censed across the region. Having received such positive feedback about the series being lmed in Spanish and Portuguese has opened a dialogue for exploring more of these types of productions. In addition, we will continue producing and growing our portfolio while also capitalizing on the Hasbro brands.

On which regions and territories are you focusing your distribution e orts? On all of them. All windows are important to us. As we are seeing great success in our pan-regional pay and digital e orts, we are pushing forward with expansion to the local players for free TV and digital. Since we have been able to increase our dubbed content portfolio, it is especially important for us to reach the local players and expand further.

In this sense, what does the Latin Ameri can and US Hispanic markets represents within eOne’s international strategy? The Latin American and US Hispanic markets are key territories and o er potential for growth. These markets have allowed us to develop local partnerships with the big players, where we’ve seen much success with ‘The Rookie’, ‘Family Law’, ‘The Newsreader’, ‘Private Eyes’ and many other popular titles that are part of our robust catalogue. As we move to wards the possibility of format distribution on factual and scripted content, it is import ant for us to develop local partnerships to further this expansion.

What alliances with local partners has eOne closed lately in these regions? We have expanded and maintained our relation ships with NBCU, Sony, Paramount+, AMC+, Televisa and Globo, just to name a few.

Which of eOne’s formats travel the most to these territories? Formats are a di erent type of business, and we are on the cusp of expanding to all territories. While it’s too premature to speak on this, we are focused on producing our own formats and gearing up for their distribution in the region.

“We received tremendous interest in our first original Spanish-language series ‘Operación Marea Negra’, which we licensed across the region”.

What will eOne be presenting during Mip com 2022? We are delighted to be building on the worldwide success of ‘The Rookie’ with the new high-budget procedural ‘The Rookie: Feds’. Starring Emmy Award-winning producer and twice-nominated actress Nie cy Nash-Betts as Simone Clark, the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy, ‘The Rookie: Feds’ is the new installment in the franchise fea turing the same excellent production values and ambitious storylines with a successful mix in tone between dramatic and lighter moments.

Which expectations do you have for Cannes after two years of pandemic? Our team is looking forward to meeting with some of our key partners that we have not seen in two years. Returning to the market is generating a renewed buzz and excitement, which we expect will translate into bigger and better deals.

What other annual markets with Latin American focus will eOne attend? We’re looking forward to attending MipCancun in November, and next year we are planning to participate in Natpe Bahamas, LA Screen ings and potentially in Rio Content.

How do you see the post-pandemic international television industry? What trends do you highlight in this regard?

The de nition of the industry continues to be re-de ned. We are seeing the explosion of fast channel, more and more AVOD plat forms, and the majority of clients asking for digital rights of one type or another. We are cautious not to lose perspective, since pay and free are still very much relevant in the marketplace. We are in a unique and bene cial position to remain platform-agnostic, so we can work with buyers to determine the right platform for the right content.

How does the “streaming wars” bene t content distributors? The distribution scheme changes based on platform and tim ing. Most platforms, when they start out, are looking for mass, but as time moves on, those same platforms need to distinguish them selves by having content that the clients can identify them by. This is where we as distrib utors can keep the ow of catalogue, in ad dition to being able to place speci c content on that particular platform that is in line with their brand. This gives distributors more op portunities for their premium content and to generate interest for all windows.

“The Latin American and US Hispanic markets are key territories and offer potential for growth”.

“As we are seeing great success in our pan-regional pay and digital efforts, we are pushing forward with expansion to the local players for free TV and digital”.

A COMBINATION OF EXCITING SHOWS

Passion Distribution arrives at Mipcom 2022 with a robust slate of scripted and unscripted factual content, including ‘Love in The Flesh’, ‘Cold Justice’ and ‘Men of West Hollywood’, among others.

By Sebastián Amoroso @sebamoroso samoroso@todotv.tv

FABRIZIO DE LEO, SENIOR SALES MANAGER AT PASSION DISTRIBUTION

“Our Mipcom slate is one of the strongest line-ups we’ve had.”

The distribution company has had a multi-deal year for some of its newest shows, including ‘Love in the Flesh’, ‘Open House: The Great Sex Ex periment’ and new local versions of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’.

“Overall, we’ve had a really successful year,” told Fabrizio De Leo, Senior Sales Manager at Passion Distribution, to ttv. “On a per sonal level, after the hiatus caused by the pandemic, it has been fantastic resuming face-to-face meetings with clients and dis cussing shows that meet their current pro gramming needs in person,” he added.

Latin America is one of the markets that present multiple new opportunities for Passion Distribution to license its portfolio of contents.

“The LatAm market is experiencing a rapid expansion in the number of new platforms (like Pluto, Paramount+, Discovery/HBO, ViX) that will need original local content as well as supplementing their schedule with acquired international titles,” commented De Leo.

In this regard, the executive a rms that the distributor’s portfolio is particularly suited for the new players in the market.

“Within the Pay TV segment, formats that are a little edgier than the usual mainstream fare will ensure media exposure and a wa tercooler e ect for services that would want to di erentiate themselves from the existing broadcasters,” he remarked.

“The whole region is de nitely o ering major opportunities for Passion to expand into so the plan is to actively expand our relations hips with both local legacy broadcasters, that would appreciate our more “classic” selection of formats such as ‘Love in The Flesh’ and other nished titles,” added De Leo.

Passion’s portfolio also includes high-end content for new platforms, such as the up coming CGI series ‘Dinosaur with Stephen Fry’, returning crime series like ‘Cold Justice’, and the format ‘Paradise Hotel’ which, in the words of the executive, “is de nitely ready to be adapted in the region,” with a production hub in Mexico.

At Cannes, Passion Distribution will be pre senting a slate packed with shows across the full range of non-scripted formats.

“Premium documentary series, such as our landmark event series ‘Dinosaur with Stephen Fry’, are an excellent example of im mersive programming, both entertaining and informative, suitable for multi-genera tional audiences”.

This four-part series immerses audiences in a new and magical Dinosaur world constructed with the help of CGI experts and world-lea ding paleontologists and scientists, and is sure to captivate the whole family.

On the other hand, ‘Men of West Hollywood’ is a new docu-reality series that allows cameras to follow six high-pro le male socialites in Los Angeles as they give us a drama-driven glimpse into their lavish lifestyles, including the hottest parties, glamorous red-carpet events, pool parties and fashion shows.

“Our Mipcom slate is one of the strongest li ne-ups we’ve had with an exciting mix of en gaging and eye-catching formats, premium factual series, captivating factual entertain ment and high-quality returning series, and we can’t wait to share it with our clients,” concluded the executive.

LILIAM HERNÁNDEZ, FOUNDER AND CEO OF UNIVERSAL CINERGIA DUBBING

“It’s amazing what has happened after the pandemic. The platforms have expanded the volume of content and that has made it much easier for us”.

We may well be living in the “golden age” of content localization services, and Universal Cinergia Dubbing is a prime example of this phenomenon in the dubbing and subtitling branch of the audiovisual industry.

This year, the company founded by Liliam Hernández and Gema López is celebrating its rst ten years in the localization business by opening new studios in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“It has been an incredibly successful year. On May 13 we celebrated our ten years in the dubbing industry. It was an unforgettable night with 250 guests, including clients, em ployees and friends,” told ttv Liliam Hernán dez, founder and CEO of Universal Cinergia Dubbing.

“That night we announced that we were going to open a new facility in Rio de Janei ro, and now, a month and a half after that announcement, it is the largest facility we have,” she added.

“We owe this entirely to our clients, who needed more volume because of all the digital platforms that are emerging, and of course, we needed to continue our adven ture,” concluded Hernández.

Universal Cinergia currently has its head quarters in Miami, with six English-lan guage studios and a few more for Portu guese. In Brazil, the company has eight studios in São Paulo and six in Rio de Janeiro, while their three studios in Paris serve the current needs of the French mar ket. In addition, the company has twelve Spanish-language studios in Mexico City and another facility in Valencia, Spain, to meet the requirements of Spanish-lan guage markets.

“It’s amazing what has happened after the pandemic. The platforms have expanded the volume of content and that has made it much easier for us,” highlights the executive. Today, Universal Cinergia works with clients such as HBO Max, Warner Bros. Discovery, Lionsgate, Sony Pictures Television, NBCUni versal and Amazon, among others.

“Ninety percent of all Turkish content for Latin America is done by us,” explains Hernández.

In this sense, the company localizes premi um content of a wide variety of genres and formats, from documentaries, movies and series to soap operas, while also venturing into the video-game business.

“Although we operate in a highly competi tive industry, this is a great time for Universal Cinergia, which gives us the momentum and enthusiasm we need for the company’s sec ond decade,” she concludes.

UNIVERSAL CINERGIA OPENS STUDIOS IN RIO DE JANEIRO

On the year of its 10th anniversary, Universal Cinergia opens its 6th worldwide facility in Rio de Janeiro, increasing its dubbing capacity in Brazilian Portuguese to 120 hs weekly. Located in the audiovisual hub Polo Rio Cine & Video, in Barra da Tijuca, the 12,900 sq feet state-of-the-art studios are housed in a 4-story building with 10 recording suites, 2 recording studios for Theatrical, 2 remote recording studios, as well as 5 Mixing suites 7.4.2.

In this sense, the Dutch company has fo cused on European markets, content mar kets such as Mipcom and lm markets such as the European Film Market in Berlin or the Marché du Film in Cannes, as well as on working with distributors around the world.

“Over the past few years, Incredible Film has been building up a large network of content distributors and TV channels,” explained Raaphorst.

As for Latin America and the US, the execu tive believes that through the broad catalog of family adventures, which includes movies and series with Spanish and English dub bing, there are opportunities in the SVOD and AVOD markets, as well as through the growth of Fast Channels.

“We have managed to sell much of our con tent to ‘all rights’ distributors, direct to TV and to aggregators for platforms, but we are keep looking for new opportunities.”

The renowned Spanish production and distribution company arrives at Mipcom with great news, including a second season of ‘The Head’, as well as the premiere of ‘Las Pelotaris 1926’, and the teen film ‘Upa Next’, among others.

The Mediapro Studio’s reputation makes its network of production branches one of the most recog nized at an international level.

Outside Spain, the company has production o ces in Argentina, Colombia, USA, Mexico and England, which in recent months have been the talk of the town.

While its in-house talent includes renowned directors and screenwriters such as Iván Es cobar, Diego San José, Fernando González Molina, Daniel Burman and Fernando León de Aranoa, among others, the quality of its content speaks for itself.

The Mediapro also has a pool of internation al alliances such as the one announced just a few months ago with the ViX+ platform, in addition to the alliance with the Turkish pro duction company Medyapim, as well as the new production company of Penélope Cruz, Moonlyon.

“Our presence extends beyond Spain, with operations set in England, Portugal, the USA -in di erent cities such as New York, Los An geles and Miami- and in Latin America in Colombia, Mexico and Argentina,” explained Marta Ezpeleta, Head of Distribution, Co-Production & International O ces at The Mediapro Studio, to ttv

“Today we have about 70 productions un derway, 24 ctions, entertainment shows and two feature lms, ‘The Good Boss’, which has had a huge festival run and was chosen to represent Spain at the Oscars, written and directed by Fernando León de Aranoa, and ‘O cial Competition’, directed

by Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat,” re ported the executive.

The network of production companies and alliances in di erent territories worldwide implies a great deal of coordination and synergy that complement the company’s impressive corporate structure.

“We are extremely well coordinated. One of the hallmarks of our company is to be able to rely strongly on our in-house talent, such as Iván Escobar, Diego San José, Fernando González Molina, Daniel Burman or Fernan do León de Aranoa, among others. So we have an outstanding creative team, and of course in-house stories are important, but also those coming from other creative sourc es, which we analyze and carry out if we con sider that they make sense for us,” explained Ezpeleta.

Regarding production models, the execu tive says that they are varied, depending on each project.

“We work with all kinds of production and business models. The co-production mod el, for example, is the one we used for ‘Las Pelotaris 1926’, a co-production with ViX+, as a result of the strategic alliance we announced a few months ago,” said the executive.

“For us, what ultimately determines whether we opt for one model or another is the con

In addition to the alliance with TelevisaUni vision’s SVOD platform, a few months ago the company announced an alliance with Medyapim of Turkey for the production of Spanish-language content, as well as anoth er with Penélope Cruz and her new produc tion company Moonlyon.

“This year, in addition to the feature lms we released, we have reached some mile stones for the company that we are very proud of. From ‘Primate’ on Amazon, ‘Las Bravas FC’ for HBO, and ‘Yosi, the Regretful Spy’, also on Amazon. And of course, I have to highlight ‘The Head’, with its second sea son premiere, which is one of the series that we will present at Mipcom. The rst season was sold to more than 90 countries,” report ed the executive.

The company will also be presenting at Cannes content such as ‘Upa Next’, as well as the second season of ‘Express’, a series pro duced for Starzplay in Spain and Latin Amer ica, the second season of ‘The Paradise’, a co-production with Matila Röhr Productions

the demands of the industry” claimed Fran cisco Giménez, Hemisphere Media Group Senior VP and General Manager.

In this line, some of Hemisphere’s partner ships include Warner-Discovery, Globo, Tele visa, Univision, and Vix+.

Considering the appetite for Spanish-lan guage content overall, on the original pro duction side, light-hearted comedy, thrillers, and action lms have generated the best re sults in the market which, of course, informs our choices in the content we plan to pro duce,” he explained to ttv

He further added “On the licensing side, both linear and digital platforms, especially at the international level, are always looking for premium family and kids’ content.”

Concerning the evolution of the Span ish-speaking audiences’ habits and current

trends, he said: “The Latino and Hispanic population has never been monolithic, but its progressively becoming more sophisti cated in their viewing habits, with younger, multicultural viewers that prefer content on demand and via streaming.”

In this sense, he said “the opportunity is in having access to as much diverse content as possible to reach those users that are al ready plugged in, but more discerning of the product they watch.”

For Mipcom 2022, Hemisphere are banking on their original productions as well as their international family content.

“This year, Hemisphere produced several original titles including the romantic action lm ‘La Princesa’, starring Alfredo Ríos ‘El Komander’ based on his song of the same name. Also, the suspense comedy ‘Misterio en Marbella’ and the family comedy ‘¡Qué Padre…Es Mi Familia?’, starring Eduardo Yáñez, Marlene Favela, and Carlos Ponce,” he told us.

On the family and kids content side, Hemi sphere features animated titles such as ‘Felix and the Treasure of Morgaä’ and the live ac tion-adventure ‘Spy Dog’.

Giménez concluded “the business is evolv ing rapidly and to be able to get together, discuss the recent wins and future oppor tunities is indispensable to nd those key areas in common upon which to build part nerships and ensure the success of those collaborations.”

The Indian company continues to grow in international distribution and will be presenting new titles at Cannes, including the series ‘Never Kiss your Best Friend’, ‘Ser’ and ‘Carmen’, among others.

Al-Forsa Al-Akhira Series

For the executive, Latin America, US Hispan ics and Spain are territories with the largest, most homogeneous and advanced media markets in the world. This results in an in terest for the Indian company to strengthen partnerships, not only for the distribution of content, but also for co-production alliances.

“They are markets where content can travel seamlessly, so we are keen in partnering to co-produce our scripts in the region with lo cal talent,” highlighted the executive.

In these markets, Zee works with all types of outlets: broadcasters, pay TV programmers, OTT platforms and aggregators. “We have partnered with local producers and broad casters in Middle East to create wonderful adaptations of Zee’s original scripts like Ser, Carmen & Al-Forsa Al-Akhira to name a few,” he expressed.

“We are showcasing hand-picked stories that appeal to the international audiences and have been produced with an extraor dinary attention to production detail,” re marked Mathew.

“We hope that Mipcom should achieve the kind of scale that the industry used to be back before the pandemic. We are looking forward to meeting many of our existing partners after a long hiatus and are keen to get into collaborations with them to cre ate entertaining and varied content for the global audiences”.

In addition to Mipcom, this year Zee will be present in Latin America at MipCancun, as well as at Natpe Bahamas in January 2023.

As for Asia-Paci c, the company will be par ticipating in the Asia TV Forum in Singapore, while for the Africa and Middle East region, it will be present at Discop in Kigali and DICM in Dubai, respectively.

In this new post-pandemic normality, inter national content distribution, like so many other industries, has experienced an accel erated transformation.

“While content distribution has become a more virtual experience than before the pan demic, we see a big comeback of the tradition al in-person markets,” observed the executive.

“The greatest opportunity for growth lies in the ongoing transformation of the industry, including the still growing demand for lo cal exclusive content by competing SVOD platforms and the corresponding increase in the production of content in LatAm and other European markets. This is where we see great potential for growth by partnering with local producers,” he concluded.
