BBC Studios & Globo Pact for Amazon Doc

BBC Studios and Globo have entered into a co-production deal for a documentary about the Amazon rainforest.

BBC Studios Specialist Factual Productions is producing the series, which will be sold by BBC Studios.

Gabriel Jacome, director of content at TV Globo, noted, “This documentary marks a milestone for factual production in Brazil. We are bringing together our deep knowledge of the country with BBC Studios’ excellence in creating extraordinary documentaries that resonate globally. It will be one of the most ambitious factual projects to emerge from Latin America—a unique opportunity to tell a genuinely Brazilian story with global reach. This co-production is more than a series: it is a testament to the strength of Indigenous communities, the urgency of protecting the Amazon, and the power of audiovisual storytelling as a tool for transformation.”

Janet Brown, president of global content sales at BBC Studios, added: “As we look to grow our world-class offerings in this important market, we couldn’t be more delighted to embark on our first Latin American co-production with Globo, an invaluable, longstanding partner. This new documentary series represents a truly collaborative project designed to spark meaningful conversation, while giving us a valuable opportunity to deliver homegrown storytelling for our Latin American audiences and spotlight the Amazon’s rich Indigenous heritage on a global stage.”
