Fifth Annual RTVE Showcase Puts Emphasis on International Co-Production
For the fifth year, Spanish pubcaster RTVE showed off its top titles to content acquisition professionals from more than 30 territories.
RTVE is teaming up with fellow European giant ZDF, Galicia-based Portocabo, and Germany’s Nadcon on the Canary Island-set crime drama “ Weiss & Morales.” According to Frank, the partnership is paying off commercially and creatively. RTVE and Boomerang TV produce this classic telenovela, which is adapted from Luis Carnés’ novel “Tea Rooms.” Clocking in at 120 hour-long episodes, the 1930s-set show could do well in territories where long-form content is popular, such as Turkey, Korea, or Latin America. Set in the late 1970s, this Madrid-based cop drama tells het story of Clara, one of Spain’s first woman police officers who goes undercover to expose corruption linked to the heroin trade in the Spanish capital.
