LatAm Drama Deals for Kew

Kew Media Group has signed a raft of new agreements across Latin America, with sales totaling more than 350 hours.

A deal with Grey Juice Lab includes broadcast rights in Chile, Argentina and the Dominican Republic for 165 hours of drama content. Titles in the package include three seasons of the police drama 19-2 and seven seasons of the family drama Heartland. Also included are four seasons of the drama thriller Line of Duty and two seasons of the period crime thriller The Bletchley Circle.

A pan-regional deal DirecTV covers the psychological thriller Slasher: Guilty Party, as well as The Secret Agent. AMC picked up seven films for pan-Latin America, including Anti-Social, Hick and The Day. Also part of the AMC deal are The Baker, Hardball and Coffin Rock.

Heartland was licensed by Imagen TV in Mexico, while City TV in Colombia acquired more than 100 episodes of the classic drama Highway To Heaven.

Alfonso Lopez, sales manager for distribution at Kew Media Group, commented, “This significant lineup of new deals is a perfect example of the ongoing popularity of prime-time drama content across Latin America. With a proliferation of local and pan-regional channels and platforms, the opportunities to deliver drama to Latin American viewers are greater than ever before, whether it’s a single feature or a long-running, channel-defining series. We’ve secured a diverse selection of great new content to debut at NATPE which we expect to be in strong demand from regional buyers.”
