MIPCOM Spotlight: Caracol Television

CANNES: Following a successful past few years, Caracol Television is continuing its efforts to present innovative material to the market, heading to MIPCOM with a catalogue that includes Pablo Escobar, the Drug Lord.

“This varied offering of high-quality content will help reinforce our relations with the territories where we are already established and it will contribute to closing new negotiations in multiple territories in Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East,” says Lisette Osorio, the company’s senior director of international sales.

At MIPCOM, Caracol is showcasing titles such as Pablo Escobar, the Drug Lord, Made in Cartagena and Five Widows on the Loose. “Pablo Escobar, the Drug Lord is a great story that includes drama, action and a lot of reality,” says Osorio. The series is based on actual testimonies from people who were acquainted with the Colombian criminal. “Made in Cartagena is a love story with action, Caribbean music, dance and a lot of sensuality,” Osorio continues. “Five Widows on the Loose is a great drama that develops the love stories of five different women whose lives are linked by the terrible fate of having their men in jail.”
