The award-winning thrilling erotic drama The Good Girls Club returns with two new seasons, joined by the successful adaptation of Broken Promise and the new telenovela, The Last Will.
Sold to more than 20 territories and available in platforms like Prime Video, The Good Girls Club is one of the “most relevant Portuguese drama productions of the moment,” according to Carlota Vieira, manager at SIC International Distribution. At the June markets, the distributor is bringing the show’s sixth and seventh season to the market.
With a bold and edgy narrative structure, The Good Girls Club’s success is “based on key elements such as a powerful female-led cast and a consistent storyline that balances emotional depth with suspense-driven arcs that keep audiences hooked,” explains Vieira. “One of the elements that makes it particularly interesting is the way it explores complex relationships and power dynamics, while maintaining a sexy and thrilling feel.”
The series constantly reinvents itself and, according to the executive, its latest seasons mark a “narrative step up, introducing a more complex dynamic between the antagonists and delving deeper into the characters’ development.”
Winner of multiple awards, including a silver medal at the New York Festivals – TV & Film Awards, the show is also full of potential as a local adaptation, thanks to its “global narrative, engaging and captivating character plots, a modern aesthetic, fast-paced storyline and a commercial dramatic structure easily adaptable to different cultural contexts,” points out Vieira.
SIC understands what makes a good local adaptation, since it comes fresh from achieving rating-leading results with Broken Promise; the Portuguese version of the Kanal D’s Ruthless City. “Broken Promise stands out for its ability to preserve the emotional richness and intensity of the original Turkish format while adding a distinct identity with local storytelling strengths, making it both globally relatable and culturally distinctive,” explains Vieira.
SIC International is distributing this new hit version, that has high production values and a top-notch cast, including internationally recognized talents like Vitória Guerra, Joana Ribeiro and Joana Santos. “Visually, this telenovela is enhanced by its stunning photography and the use of iconic locations, as the historic village of Sintra, which adds a unique and inspiring backdrop,” says the executive.
The distributor is also presenting The Last Will, a 2025 telenovela that premiered locally with a 19,3% of the share, peaking at 21,5% in its second episode, leading its prime-time slot against tough competition.
In The Last Will, Sofía has her life turned upside down after receiving an unexpected inheritance, triggering a series of conflicts, betrayals, and emotional surprises.
“Family secrets, power struggles and romantic entanglements are the backdrop to The Last Will. Its layered storytelling, emotional stakes, and dynamic characters are key elements for its success and audience acceptance,” affirms Vieira.
