The telenovelas will premiere this year in Uruguay, marking the premiere of both telenovelas in the region.

Brazilian audiovisual content remains strong in Latin America. Marking the premiere of both telenovelas in the region, Three Graces and Queen of Myself arrive in Uruguay this year through an agreement with Teledoce, one of Globo’s most long standing partners in the international market.

Currently airing in primetime in Brazil, Three Graces tells the story of Gerluce (Sophie Charlotte), her mother Lígia (Dira Paes), and her daughter Joélly (Alana Cabral), women who share the same fate: experiencing pregnancy alone during adolescence. Created and written by Aguinaldo Silva, author of major classics of Brazilian telenovelas such as Her Own Destiny and the first version of Anything Goes, in collaboration with Virgílio Silva and Zé Dassilva, the telenovela blends drama, tragedy, romance, and mystery, with touches of humor.

Meanwhile, Queen of Myself begins with the encounter between a young nanny and a lonely child to tell a sensitive story about affection, companionship, human relationships, and the many forms of motherhood. The series was created by Rosane Svartman, author of internationally successful productions such as Total Dreamer and A Life Worth Living.

“Teledoce has been a Globo partner for more than 40 years. Throughout this time, we have witnessed the connection between Uruguayan audiences and our storytelling, and we firmly believe in the potential of Three Graces and Queen of Myself to maintain positive results. These are stories led by strong female protagonists, a theme that resonates deeply with Latin American audiences. We are confident that both titles will replicate in Uruguay the success achieved in Brazil and open doors for new broadcasts in other countries,” says Marina Pontes de Miranda, Content Distribution & Partnerships at Globo.

In the following interview with ttvnews, Eugenio Restano, Programming Manager at Teledoce, shares what content they want to add to their catalog in the international market.

In an industry as evolving as the entertainment industry, it is imperative to stay one step ahead of the latest trends and know what the international market demands regarding content.

To this end, ttvnews presents the Buyers: What are buyers looking for? Initiative to learn first-hand about the programming needs of buyers around the world.

This time, we spoke to Eugenio Restano, Programming Manager at Teledoce:

What content would you highlight among those that worked best for the company in 2024?

For the last year, we have seen that formats are significantly different from other platforms when it comes to trying to have our own identity and personality.

Since last year, we have been betting on having a prime-time slot where we offer a different entertainment proposal daily, mostly adaptations of internationally proven formats. 

We have been very successful with La Máscara, which had four seasons; Green Master, the Sony format that we call Fuego Sagrado. 

What type of content is most in demand by your audience today?

We are already pre-producing two important formats for 2025: The Floor, Talpa’s format, and Tu Cara me Suena by Banijay. 

What kind of content, formats, or genres will you look for at industry events?

We continue to consider cans because we cannot aspire to produce all the programming in a market like ours. We are starting with Cris Morena’s Margarita and then a Globo telenovela, Renacer, which is the replacement for Todas las Flores. Furthermore, we try to alternate domestic and foreign products, but we are always trying to achieve a balance. 

Giving the heart of the programming to local production is a significant difference today in broadcast television from other platforms and alternatives, I believe.

The Uruguayan version of the Fremantle talent show will premiere “very soon” on the broadcast network.

Teledoce from Uruguay continues to add international entertainment formats to its programming grid with the arrival now of 100 Uruguayos dicen, the local version of Fremantle’s Family Feud.

The host of the show, which will be released “very soon”, will be Maxi de la Cruz, a well-known local actor and host.

In the show, two groups of four people will compete against each other to name the most popular answers to miscellaneous questions in order to win a prize money.

Those popular responses are drawn from a survey conducted virtually by local polling company Cifra. In this, 100 people who live in Uruguayan territory of different ages and genders are chosen, in order to obtain a sample percentage.

The Uruguayan adaptation of Family Feud – which already had a version produced by Saeta Canal 10 in 2008 (¿Qué dice la gente?) – joins more than 70 other international versions already released around the world.

In 2020, the format returned to Latin America with versions in Argentina (El Trece) and Brazil (SBT), while in 2021 it premiered in August in Chile (Channel 13).

Following its successful finale on Univision in the US, the telenovela made its debut on Telefe in Uruguay on March 3.

One of the big hits of Globo’s dramaturgy is getting ready for another debut. In the same week that the tenovela Sweet Diva comes to an end at Univision’s primetime in the USA with high ratings, the production premiered on Teledoce, in Uruguay, on Wednesday, March 3, at 6:00 pm.

The telenovela precedes the final emotions of A Life Worth Living on the channel, another Globo production that has been successful in Uruguay.

In the prime time of the Univision channel, in the United States, Sweet Diva obtained, from the beginning of its exhibition, a significant audience. In the last week of February, the telenovela attracted 1.5 million viewers (2+) and 522,000 Adults 18-49, positioning Univision in the vice-leadership of broadcast TV in the country, at the forefront of channels such as CBS and NBC during the 10 PM slot*. The final episode of the telenovela, shown last Monday, also ranked the channel as the No. 2 Broadcast network among Adults 18-49 in the 10pm hour, attracting more than 1.7 million viewers 2+, with 630,000 Adults 18-49 years old.

In addition to this expressive performance obtained in North American territory, the telenovela continues to conquer the public in other countries as well, with its narrative that talks about female empowerment, courage, hope and overcoming with optimism. The production is on the air on channels like Red Uno, in Bolivia, on Imagen TV, in Mexico, on Univision, in Puerto Rico and on Viva, in Israel.

Authored by Walcyr Carrasco (‘Hidden Truths’), Sweet Diva stands out for its powerful cast, composed of actresses Juliana Paes (‘Total Dreamer’), Paolla Oliveira (‘Edge of Desire’) and Fernanda Montenegro (‘The Other Side of Paradise’) – Oscar nominated actress and International Emmy winner. The plot also features striking villains such as the character played by actress Agatha Moreira (‘Hidden Truths’) and actor Reynaldo Gianecchini (‘Family Ties’), in addition to the pioneering case of real interaction of a character influencing the public through social networks.

The plot brings the story of the character Maria da Paz (Juliana Paes), a dedicated ballerina who becomes a wealthy businesswoman twenty years after a tragedy on her wedding day with Amadeu (Marcos Palmeira). From this union, which ends in separation, a baby is born, Jô, who seeks power and despises his mother’s humble origins. Afraid that his parents’ reunion could ruin his plans, Jô (Agatha Moreira) starts an alliance with the charming Regis (Reynaldo Gianecchini) to convince Maria to marry him and together they plan to steal Maria’s entire fortune.

In this telenovela full of emotion and twists, the protagonist’s optimism must be stronger than Joe’s ambition, when the confectioner discovers her own daughter’s betrayal and dangerous secrets.

In production, the digital influencer Vivi Guedes, a character from Paolla Oliveira, was an important milestone in the history of dramaturgy. @Estiloviviguedes, the character’s official profile on social media, brought fiction closer to real life and won over 2.5 million followers in Brazil, who were able to interact with the character throughout the plot. In the United States, with the production on the Univision channel, the profile @estiloviviguedes_us also engaged the channel’s viewers who followed the telenovela.

Aired in 2019 in Brazil and launched on the international market in early 2020, the telenovela reached 55.4 million Brazilians in its final chapter, breaking the audience record of the plot and causing a real commotion on social networks: 48 terms on the most talked about subjects on Twitter, 19 of them featured on the World Trending Topics.
