‘La Favorita 1922,’ ‘El Marqués,’ ‘Detective Romi’ Give Mediaset’s Mediterráneo Its Strongest Mipcom Lineup in Years
Mediterráneo CEO Ghislain Barrois talks us through his company's Mipcom lineup, one of its strongest in years.
This is led by “La Favorita 1922,” its first collaboration with Bambú Producciones, the Studiocanal-owned production house behind titles that have helped revolutionize Spanish scripted, such as “Grand Hotel,” “Velvet” and daily series “The Vow.” Also brought to market are “Detective Romi” and “El Marqués” as Mediterráneo hit several growth axes in Spain and abroad: Modern melodramas with ultra-high production values (“La Favorita”), “lighter” procedurals and true-event-based crime stories. Mediterráneo also houses companies owned or part-owned by Mediaset España such as Telecinco Cinema, whose credits include “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Impossible,” and Aitor Gabilondo’s Alea Media, behind “Patria,” and now Isabel Allende adaptation “A Long Petal of the Sea,” with Pablo and Juan de Dios Larraín’s Fabula.
