The Globoplay Originals series is the first Brazilian production selected for the International Panorama Competition.
Globo is present at Series Mania, one of the largest international festivals dedicated to the series format, with its main releases in its portfolio. Furthermore, during the event, Raul Seixas: Let Me Sing will have its first worldwide showing on March 25th, at 6 p.m.
The Globoplay Originals series is the first Brazilian production selected for the International Panorama Competition.
Highlights include the drama series The End and Justice: Misconduct and the action series Dissident Archangel and Anti-Kidnapping Unit.
Created and written by Oscar nominee Fernanda Torres and with artistic direction by Andrucha Waddington (Under Pressure), The End follows a group of friends and their joys, madness, and frustrations over four decades. The production has names in the cast such as Fabio Assunção (All The Flowers), Marjorie Estiano (Under Pressure) and David Junior (A Life Worth Living).
‘Justice: Misconduct’, by Manuela Dias, with artistic direction by Gustavo Fernández (‘Pantanal’), follows four characters who end up in prison and, seven years later, leave jail and need to resume their lives in search of justice that goes beyond logic and legal trials. The plot, which is established as an anthology series, follows the same structure and format as ‘Justice: Life is not fair’, which was nominated for the International Emmy Awards for Best Actress with Adriana Esteves and Best Drama Series.
Dissident Archangel and Anti-Kidnapping Unit, created by José Junior, who was also responsible for the creation of Living On A Razor Edge, are consolidated franchises.
The first follows a sergeant leading a Special Operations Battalion team on a quest for revenge. Anti-Kidnapping Unit follows the turbulent routine of the Anti-Kidnapping Division in Rio de Janeiro.
For formats, Globo is bringing to Series Mania The Others, an Original Globoplay series created by Lucas Paraízo, the same author of Under Pressure. The story follows two neighboring couples who come into conflict after their teenage children get into a fight, leading to outrageous consequences.
A relevant series about how far a lack of dialogue can take people. In unscripted formats, What a Wonderful Cuisine Class is a culinary competition reality show featuring celebrities who do not know how to cook, and the host has the fun challenge of turning them into chefs.
“The year celebrating Globo’s centenary began with the Oscar for I’m Still Here, the selection of ‘Reincarnate’ at the Berlinale, and now the selection of Raul Seixas: Let Me Sing at Series Mania. This is a reflection of the strength of our content. Furthermore, we are here with a varied portfolio to present to the market, with recognized dramas, successful action series and formats. Europe is an important and strategic territory for Globo, and we want to expand our presence on the continent increasingly”, comments Rodrigo Nascimento, Head of International Business – EMEA.
