MADRID — As the world’s international TV distribution goes virtual, these are a pick of Spanish TV shows – at project stage, in production or completed, and mostly drama series – being brought onto the market, or available for partnering for production or straight acquisition:A Spain-Portugal co-production from Pablo Iraola and Pandora Da Cunha, this WWII mystery drama follows a high-society woman willing to do anything to save her homeland from a foreign invasion.
Based on Isabel Allende’s hit novel, the first incontrovertible move into big-budget international co-production by battling Spanish public broadcaster RTVE, tapping into its strong lines in historical dramas. But here it moves across the Atlantic to portrait the epic tale of the loves, courage, constancy and contradictions of Inés Suarez, a women conquistador, founder of Santiago de Chile, who befriends and the turns on the local Mapuche inhabitants.
