To Catch a Thief, Party of Five Headed to Paramount Channel LatAm

Paramount Channel Latin America has added four international titles to its programming roster: To Catch a Thief, R, Party of Five and For Life.

Based on the classic Alfred Hitchcock film, To Catch a Thief (Atrapa a un Ladrón) follows the love story and mystery surrounding a reformed jewel thief who must track down a copycat thief to prove his innocence. The show, produced by Viacom International Studios (VIS) and created by Javier Olivares, stars Pablo Echarri and Alexandra Jiménez.

R (Erre) is an original series created by VIS for Claro Video. The story follows the nerve-wracking life of Franco, a man with a mediocre existence whose reality is altered in the face of receiving a diagnosis of imminent death. He transforms his life into a tumultuous one of unexpected and life-altering situations and excesses, but he doesn’t know that the medical diagnosis he received was a mistake.

The new Party of Five series follows the Acosta siblings as they struggle to stay together in the wake of their parents’ deportation. Forced to shoulder professional and parenting responsibilities, for which they are ill-equipped, the siblings must grow up quickly.

Inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr., For Life is a fictional legal and family drama about a prisoner who becomes a lawyer, litigating cases for other inmates, and all the while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit.

Tiago Worcman, senior VP and brand head of music and entertainment brands for ViacomCBS Networks Americas, said, “Just like our original productions Dani Who? and Yellowstone on Paramount Channel, we are always on the lookout for unique stories with inspiring characters and engaging narratives that transcend the screen. We are thrilled to bring these titles to our audiences in Latin America.”
