Globo will be part of NEM Dubrovnik and NATPE Budapest, the two main audiovisual industry events in CEE, presenting a robust and diverse portfolio. The company brings its latest releases, classic telenovelas, Globoplay Original series, and both scripted and unscripted formats to the events, reinforcing its expansion strategy in the region.

Among the highlights are the telenovelas Crazy About You and She’s The One, as well as the new season of the action series Anti-Kidnapping Unit. On June 9, Rodrigo Nascimento, Head of International Sales – EMEA, will host the panel “Globo: 100 Years of Stories” (which was also part of the Rio2C market a few days ago) at NEM Dubrovnik. In celebration of the company’s centennial, Rodrigo will discuss Globo’s key new releases, its presence in Eastern Europe, and strategic partnership opportunities in the region.

At NATPE Budapest, the highlight is the international launch of Raul Seixas: Let Me Sing. This Globoplay Original series explores the cultural, political, and spiritual influences of the singer-songwriter and pays tribute to one of Brazil’s most iconic musical figures. The series was the first Brazilian production selected for the International Panorama Competition at Series Mania, in March this year.

Recently aired on Brazilian primetime, Crazy About You is a telenovela by João Emanuel Carneiro, the acclaimed writer behind ‘Brazil Avenue’ and ‘All The Flowers’. The story centers on the friendship between Viola (Gabz, from ‘Perfect Love’) and Luma (Agatha Moreira, from ‘Hidden Truths’), two women born on the same day who meet years later, connected by coincidences that go beyond their birthday.

She’s The One, by Alessandra Poggi (‘A Trick of Faith’), is set in the 1950s and follows Beatriz (Duda Santos, from ‘Rebirth’) on a journey of self-discovery and reconciliation with her past as she reunites with the mother she believes abandoned her in childhood.

Created by José Junior (‘Living on a Razor’s Edge’) and José Luiz Magalhães and directed by Lipe Binder (‘Living on a Razor’s Edge’), the new season of ‘Anti-Kidnapping Unit’ features suspenseful and adrenaline-filled episodes, transporting viewers to late 1990s Rio de Janeiro. The plot follows detective Carlos Mendonça (Silvio Guindane) and inspector Juliano Santiago (Erom Cordeiro) in a challenging case within the Anti-Kidnapping Division.

In addition, Globo’s portfolio for NEM Dubrovnik and NATPE Budapest includes classic telenovelas such as ‘Brazil Avenue’, ‘Her Own Destiny’, and ‘Total Dreamer’, as well as successful drama formats like ‘Justice’, ‘All The Flowers’, and ‘Trail of Lies’.

"CEE is a strategic region for Globo, where interest in our content has been growing, which reinforces the reach of our stories. For NEM Dubrovnik and NATPE Budapest, we’ve prepared a portfolio that reflects the strength of our productions, with acclaimed titles recognized in the international market, as well as new releases," said Rodrigo Nascimento.
