NATPE Europe Spotlight: Televisa Internacional

PRAGUE: The Stray Cat, a telenovela from the acclaimed Mexican producer Nathalie Lartilleux, leads Televisa Internacional’s highlights for NATPE Europe.

Starring Mexican actress Maite Perroni, the program has already been sold ahead of its official presentation, according to Claudia Sahab, the company’s director of sales for Europe.

Sahab says that the majority of Televisa Internacional’s business in CEE has been for telenovelas, but formats are also a big part of the company’s catalogue. The format Dolphins with the Stars, which sees celebrities performing with dolphins, has been picked up in Western Europe, including in Portugal. Another major offering is the drama series The Black Widow, centered on the real-life story of the woman who brought the cocaine trade to the U.S.
