The critically acclaimed series’ sixth season is now in production for Globoplay.
Dori Media Group’s critically acclaimed psychological drama In Treatment is set to start production on its sixth season for Brazil’s Globoplay, where it is produced locally by Moonshot and known as Sessão de Terapia, it was announced today by Nadav Palti, CEO & President of Dori Media Group.
Originally titled BeTipul, In Treatment is considered one of the most successful TV format exports in the world and the series has been remade in over 20 territories globally, including the U.S. with HBO Max, Brazil with Globoplay, TV5 in Canada and Japan with Nippon TV. The format was originally created by Sheleg Productions’ award-winning producer Hagai Levi, who is known for Scenes from a Marriage and The Affair.
Since 2019, Globo/Globoplay has partnered with Moonshot in Brazil, marking the show’s premiere on Globoplay and GNT, the cable channel that has aired the series since its inception. And Sessão de Terapia has consistently been one of the most-watched series on both platforms.
“We are thrilled that Globoplay and Moonshot are bringing In Treatment back to the Brazlian audience that has enjoyed this special series for many seasons now,” says Dori Media’s Palti. “This is a format that continues to resonate across the globe and we’re excited that others are looking to launch and produce further seasons in the new year, as well.”
“The challenge of being innovative and creating complex, passionate characters within the delicate field of therapy and a globally successful franchise is something we embrace with joy and reflects our artistic mission,” says Roberto d’Avila, Moonshot CEO.
No other country has produced more seasons of In Treatment than Brazil, which is set to begin production on its sixth season in late 2025. The Brazilian series is directed by Selton Mello (I’m Still Here), who has also starred as Caio since the 4th season, produced and adapted by Moonshot’s d’Avila and original scripts by Jacqueline Vargas. Since its 3rd season, Moonshot has developed original characters and stories, revitalizing the franchise with a new therapist in its fourth season.
Sessão de Terapia is known for its unique and compelling storytelling, offering endless possibilities for introducing new characters and narratives. A prime example of its creative flexibility came in the fourth season, which featured Morena Baccarin (Homeland, Deadpool) in her first-ever Portuguese performance, playing a pivotal role as Caio’s supervisor. The following season continued this tradition by passing the supervisory role to Rodrigo Santoro (300, Love Actually), further enriching the show’s dynamic storytelling.
Many adaptations of the series have also won critical acclaim globally, including the U.S. version of In Treatment, which saw Dianne West win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (2008).
Additionally, Dori Media Group (DMG), the studio behind such hits as Losing Alice, Lalola, The New Black, Ciega a Citas and Dumb, recently announced a slate of new unscripted offerings at MIPCOM.
The company’s new unscripted offerings include dating shows Spy Date and Love at Third Sight, trivia-based game show Smart Face, talent competition Da Next, street game Intuition, reality competition Stand-Up Warrior and the shiny floor game show The Best of All. And Dori’s hit reality format Power Couple continues take the world by storm, with original versions of the relationship series now in more than 20 territories globally.
Dori Media also announced earlier this year that it was selling the new Spanish-language episodes of Lalola, which debuted in February on ViX, as well as the series’ format rights to global territories outside of Latin America and the U.S. Lalola, which is produced by Dori Media International, is a modern-day remake of the hit International Emmy-nominated romantic comedy that originally aired in 2008-2009.
