Italian Deal on Caracol Novela

BOGATA: Caracol Television’s Without Breasts There is No Paradise is being adapted for the Italian market, with a local version in production for Mediaset.

The Italian version, which began shooting this week in Buenos Aires, is being produced by Grundy Italia, which was also behind the Spanish version of Without Breasts There is No Paradise for Telecinco. It stars Danielle Liotti, Nathaly Paty Gomez and Lola Ponce.
 
“We are very pleased and optimistic about the success this adaptation will have on the Italian market," said Lisette Osorio, the international director of Caracol TV. "Undoubtedly, this represents a momentous step for Colombian television because it is the first Latin format to reach Italy’s broadcast television."

Roberto Sessa, executive producer of Grundy, added: “After the great success we have achieved adapting this fantastic format to the Spanish market, we are very excited about this new adaptation we are producing for Mediaset in Italy. Channel 5 is our country’s leading network with more than 22 percent market share. The responsibility we have to create a great success for Italy is a real challenge.”
 
Without Breasts There is No Paradise has become one of Caracol’s best-selling titles. The Spanish version is in its fourth season on Telecinco. A version was also produced for Telemundo in the U.S., and there are four other adaptations in the works.
