Dori Media Highlights Teen Novelas

CANNES: At MIPTV this week, Dori Media Group will be presenting a varied slate, let by its new teen telenovelas Champs 12 and Split.

Champs 12, starring Liz Solari and Tomás de Las Heras and written by Patricia Maldonado, tells the story of beautiful Charlotte, who cannot forget the humiliation she suffered by Gonzalo when she was an overweight 12 year old. Determined to take revenge on him she becomes the owner of a soccer club, of which he’s the star, and will do everything possible to make his life miserable, until love changes her plans.

Split revolves around 15-year-old Ella, who discovers that she is part of a magical world and is drawn into the age-old conflict between vampires and humans. 

Rounding out the Dori Media slate are the cross-platform offering Amanda O with Natalia Oreiro and Luciano Castro; Cupido: El Negocio Del Amor (Cupid: The Business of Love), about two rival divorce lawyers who have no choice but to work together as matchmakers; and La Maga (The Wizardess), a Dori Media Contenidos, Illusion Studios and Nickelodeon co-production that reinvents The Wizard of Oz.

DMG will also distribute two United Studios series: Maybe This Time, about the life of two bachelors in the big city, and Big Deal, a family friendly series.
