With a strategy aimed at audience retention and global reach, the company presents a catalog led by To Love is To Care, Globoplay Originals, and formats.

In a global scenario focused on audience attractiveness and retention, the ability to generate conversations and deep connections with the public has become a strategic vector for the audiovisual industry. It is with this vision that Globo participates in the 42nd edition of Mipcom Cannes, presenting an ecosystem of productions structured to meet different consumption profiles and platforms, from wide-reach telenovelas to targeted series and formats.

We want to show Globo’s power in transforming premium content into cultural phenomena capable of connecting with different audiences across multiple platforms and generating business opportunities for partners around the world, taking the expertise we developed in Brazil to drive engagement, relevance, and value in different markets,” comments Angela Colla, Head of International Business.

Among the main titles presented at Mipcom are To Love is To Care, currently airing during Brazilian prime time and which impacted more than 119 million people in its first 12 weeks of broadcast alone, and Three Graces, which reached 146 million Brazilians.

In the universe of Globoplay Original series, one of the highlights is The Playoffs, consolidated as the highest-reach original fiction series in the platform’s history in the first seven days following its premiere. The portfolio also features the acclaimed Emergency 53, winner of the Studio Babelsberg Production Excellence Award at the Berlinale, the fantasy production Blood Red – Under the Moonlight, and the dramatic comedy Single Together.

Additionally, Globo reinforces the strength of its Intellectual Properties by presenting acclaimed formats with a proven capacity for international adaptation. Bets include the launch of the original musical reality show The Star of the Show, the drama series The Others, which will soon receive an adapted version in Greece, and the telenovela Pages of Life, a format that has already demonstrated ratings success with its Portuguese adaptation broadcast by SIC.

The new ViX Original series premieres its first two episodes on the platform October 9 and will have a special premiere in Mexico on las estrellas on October 8.

ViX presents a fictional story inspired by journalistic investigation into real events behind one of Latin America’s most important youth music phenomenon. Timbiriche looks back on the story of a group that transcended music to become part of the collective memory of generations.

Long before social media, there was a phenomenon capable of filling venues, sparking euphoria wherever it went, and turning a group of teenagers into idols for millions. Onstage, they were the dream of an entire generation; behind the scenes, they were young people learning to grow up under the spotlight, navigating friendships, rivalries, ambitions, pressure and decisions that would shape their lives forever.

A fictionized story inspired by real events, Timbiriche tells the story of the birth of a musical group that revolutionized the Spanish-language pop scene. The series follows its protagonists from their first rehearsals and auditions to the moment when success carried them to conquer stages, magazine covers and audiences across the country, while they discover that fame comes at a price.

As the phenomenon grows, so do the rules of the game. Friendships are put to the test, rivalries emerge, new members change the group’s dynamics, and the demands of an increasingly intense industry begin to shape their path. Between the first applause and the decisions that will define their future, each episode reveals the human side of those who grew up before millions of viewers.

With an remarkable recreation of the 1980s and a large-scale production, Timbiriche offers an intimate, emotional look at the dreams, sacrifices, bonds and conflicts behind a phenomenon that transcended the stage and became part of popular culture.

Because before they became a phenomenon, they were young people chasing a dream.

The cast of Timbiriche includes Macarena García, Sebastián Poza, Luis de la Rosa, Jesusa Ochoa, Iker Solano, Michelle Pellicer, Edu Maruri, Clara Dalmao, Sol Wainer and Andrea Chaparro, as well as Osvaldo Benavides and Alberto Guerra.

The series is produced by EL ESTUDIO, with Pablo Cruz and Juana García Blaya serving as producers and Beto Hinojosa as director. Together, they lead the creative team bringing this fictional story, inspired by one of the most iconic groups in Spanish-language pop, to the screen.
