MIPCOM Spotlight: Globo

CANNES: Globo’s Gabriela is a remake of a highly successful TV drama from the ’70s that was inspired by Jorge Amado’s novel Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon.

The series is about a young immigrant who captivates everyone with her naïve yet provocative sensuality. “Gabriela has proven that it remains contemporary and tasteful after 40 years,” says Raphael Corrêa Netto, Globo’s executive director of international business.

Globo is also bringing to the market The Life We Lead and My Dear Handyman. “Filmed in HD with careful photography and beautiful scenes in Brazil and Argentina, the touching The Life We Lead obtained 24 rating points and a 52-percent share in Brazil,” says Corrêa Netto. “And My Dear Handyman is currently on the air in the United States on Telemundo with good public acceptance.”
