Brazil’s In Treatment Heads into Season 4

A fourth season of the Brazilian adaptation of In Treatment (Sessão de Terapia) is to launch on Globoplay and GNT this spring.

There will be 35 new episodes of the Brazilian series, adapted from the Dori Media Group format. The original series debuted in Israel in 2006 and has seen 18 adaptations across more than 20 countries, including Argentina, French Canada, Russia, Brazil, Japan, Portugal, the U.S. and Italy.

Produced by Roberto d’avila for Moonshot Pictures, season four features original scripts by Jaqueline Vargas, the author of the Brazilian soap opera Floribella. The new season follows ongoing psychotherapy treatments, all shot in the therapist’s clinic. Each episode is a continuous 30 minutes of dialogue between the therapist and the patient. The story portrays five different patients. Each day (for a period of seven weeks) is dedicated to one person’s therapy session.

Nadav Palti, CEO and president of Dori Media Group, commented: “We are delighted to see the sale of another season of In Treatment to Brazil after the outstanding performance of the three previous seasons. In Treatment demystifies the profession without trivializing the patient’s suffering. It encourages and promotes the thinking, acceptance and articulation of feelings. More than a ten-year worldwide success is a ringing endorsement, which reflects the recognition of In Treatment as one of the best Israeli television series thanks to the high quality of its production and the drama’s international relevance.”

D’avila commented: “This is the first time that season four of this incredible story will see the light of day. In Treatment thus reaffirms its export potential—whether it be the episodes or even the original scripts themselves, which can expand the franchise to other countries.”
