Bavaria Adds New Highlight to Slate

MUNICH/CANNES, October 14: Second Chance, a new telenovela produced by Alma Productions for
France’s TF1, will have 180 episodes on offer at MIPCOM from Bavaria Media.

Shot in HD, the daily half-hour series has a cast of some 30
recurring characters. Second Chance follows
the story of 35-year-old Alice, who is abandoned by her husband after 18 years
of marriage and is a mother of two. Alice finds a job in a trendy advertising
agency, where not only will she face the challenges of a highly competitive
work environment, but also the hardships of fighting for her second chance at
love.

“Second Chance is
crisp, dynamic and colorful, bringing the unique flair and glamour of Paris to
the telenovela genre,” said Bavaria Media’s head of television, Oliver Kreuter.
“We are more than a little proud that we were chosen as distributor for this
extraordinary program; Second Chance will strike a chord with many international buyers. They will discover
a series that has all the right ingredients: a truly likeable heroine
surrounded by an equally well-cast ensemble, a smart and fast-paced story set
in an exciting environment and outstanding production values.”
