In this week’s International TV Newswire, MipCancun mirrors Latin American industry growth; Nice Drama and BBC Studios hire new executives; Brazil’s Globoplay platform picks up five international series; and Series Mania heads to the Big Apple for an IFP Week spotlight.Markets are as volatile and fast-changing as the industry as large. As Toronto’s spluttered this week, constrained by the challenge of U.S.
Produced by Mexico’s Dopamine and Spain’s Onza Ent, “Hernan” is sold by A & E Network Intl. and is set to air on History Channel and TV Azteca and stream on Amazon. It is billed as a “mega-series” and a step-up in scale and international distribution backing for high-end Latin American scripted at large.
Launched in 2014, and conceived as a high-level boutique events, MipCancun has grown year on year and exponentially from 40 buyers and 40 distributors at its inaugural event to 180 buyers among 805 participants last year. Reed Midem expects 200 buyers and a total 1,000 delegates in 2019, at the event, which runs Nov.20-22.
Put that down in part to Latin American industry’s diversification from trad telenovelas into high-end shorter format series fit for international co-production and pay TV and SVOD consumption, and MipCancun’s reaction to that, creating a Co-Production Matchmaking Program. Beyond that, however, the sector has bought into Barmack’s act-of-faith at Netflix in the global potential of foreign-language international series. The result has been a game changer.
