Fremantle Takes Global On Netflix’s ‘Penelope’ Series From Mark Duplass & Mel Eslyn


Fremantle has taken rights on 'Penelope', the series from Netflix and Mark Duplass that premiered at Sundance.

Penelope follows the eponymous lead, played by Megan Stott, a 16-year-old who feels out of place in modern society and is drawn into the unknown wilderness, where she begins to form a new life for herself. One of its key MIPCOM titles will be Costiera, the Jesse Williams-starring Prime Video Italy series that is currently without a UK or U.S. buyer. “We are grateful to have found partners that understand, support and encourage the story we are trying to tell and the larger conversation we are hoping to inspire.”
