Globo acquires Spinners for Latin American audiences
Brazilian TV giant Globo has acquired Spinners, an original series produced by Canal+ and Showmax for its Latin American audience. The deal was brokered by distributor StudioCanal.
Spinners is a co-production between African streaming service Showmax and Canal+ centred around the popular and dangerous South African motorsport sport of “spinning”. The eight-episode series premiered in November on Showmax in sub-Saharan Africa and Canal+ in Africa, and will soon air on Canal+ in France.
The series tells the story of a 17-year-old rider who works for a local gang and struggles to provide for his younger brother. As he becomes increasingly frustrated with this life and seeks a way out, he finds himself drawn to the world of spinning.
Anne Chérel, StudioCanal’s Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Distribution, said: “We are delighted to have Globo as the broadcast partner for The Spinners as they have a proven track record of discovering and acquiring high-quality international content. We are confident that this series will resonate with viewers throughout Latin America.
Globo is renowned for producing high quality TV series and dramas and Spinners is sure to be a hit with Latin American audiences. The show tells a gripping tale of suspense that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
