"La favorita 1922"
Even before its anticipated debut on Telecinco, "La Favorita 1922", the latest Mediaset España series and the first co-produced with Bambú Producciones, has already sparked significant international interest, crossing borders and captivating buyers worldwide. The series was filmed across multiple sets spanning over 2,000 square meters and required the use of more than 500 costumes, many of which were handmade specifically for the production.
After being showcased at the South International Series Festival and presented at major industry markets such as Mipcom (Cannes), ATF (Singapore), and Content Americas (Miami), Mediterráneo Mediaset España Group’s sales team has successfully closed pre-sale deals for the series in more than 20 territories. These include Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay through Flow, Telecom Argentina’s TV and streaming service; the United States and Canada via Walter Presents, the streaming platform available through PBS; as well as Belgium (Proximus), Lithuania (Lithuanian National Radio and TV), and Poland, among others.
Silvia Cotino, Deputy Director of Sales and Business Development at Mediterráneo highlighted the importance of the title within the sales catalog.: “It is a pleasure to add 'La Favorita 1922' to Mediterráneo’s sales catalog. This series perfectly complements our current lineup, as we did not previously have a period drama. Moreover, the fact that it is a Bambú production, with its renowned hallmark of quality, excited us from the very beginning. We are confident that it will become a key title in our catalog, further strengthening our presence in the international market," commented.
Rocío Cachero, International Sales Manager at Mediterráneo, emphasized the international interest in the series.:“The great international interest sparked by 'La Favorita 1922' is unprecedented and showcases its enormous potential. Our clients have responded exceptionally well, and we want to thank them for the trust they have placed in this title from the very beginning. We are confident that this is just the start of a very promising international journey," expressed.
