Telemundo Global Studios has entered into an agreement with Planeta to license the exclusive rights for the complete library of the best-selling Spanish author Cor\u00edn Tellado, known as the \u201cgreat dame\u201d of romantic novels.<\/p>\n
Telemundo Global Studios now holds the exclusive rights to produce modern-day adaptations of Tellado\u2019s tales in multiple formats, including episodic, short- and long-form series, for linear and digital platforms. Planeta will provide consulting services for the selection and adaptation of titles via its transmedia content division, Stories.<\/p>\n
Tellado has penned nearly 4,000 titles throughout her career and has sold over 400 million books.\u00a0Her stories are known for their strong female characters, who face intense and difficult situations and, against all odds, take control of their lives in their quest for true love.\u00a0Her works have been translated into 27 different languages. Tellado’s collection includes\u00a0No le hagas caso a tu hija <\/em>(Don\u2019t Pay Attention to your Daughter<\/em>), No est\u00e1 loca <\/em>(She Isn\u2019t Crazy<\/em>), Nadie te conoce <\/em>(Nobody Knows You<\/em>), Historia de dos mujeres <\/em>(Story of Two Women<\/em>) and El Cambi\u00f3 mi vida <\/em>(He Changed My Life<\/em>).<\/p>\n Marcos Santana, the president of Telemundo Global Studios, commented: \u201cAs the number one producer of scripted Spanish-language content in the U.S., licensing the rights to the entire library of Cor\u00edn Tellado\u2019s universal and timeless stories is a dream come true. As Vargas Llosa would say, \u2018Cor\u00edn Tellado was a master on the essence of literature, which is storytelling. She gave her readers a mix between fantasy and irrationality, without which we cannot live\u2019. We have worked on a noteworthy, comprehensive plan based on Tellado\u2019s library to develop powerful series for diverse formats and platforms. Today, more than ever, Spanish-language viewers are craving great love stories, and there is no other studio better equipped to bring these stories to life in a modern, culturally relevant way for Latino audiences to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n Joaqu\u00edn \u00c1lvarez de Toledo, director for specialized publishing and innovation for Stories at Planeta, added: \u201cCor\u00edn Tellado\u2019s works became an important part of Planeta in 2017 when we created the Ediciones Cor\u00edn Tellado label to specifically recognize her novels. By way of this agreement, we want to honor one of our most beloved authors on a global scale, a woman that contributed, like few others, to creating voracious readers for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Telemundo Global Studios has entered into an agreement with Planeta to license the exclusive rights for the complete library of the best-selling Spanish author Cor\u00edn Tellado, known as the \u201cgreat dame\u201d of romantic novels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":15017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4486,4485],"class_list":["post-15016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-planeta","tag-telemundo-global-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
