Mediterráneo expands its third-party catalog with new titles for global distribution

After announcing the international distribution of the successful Prime Video and RTP series "Punto Nemo" last April, Mediterráneo Mediaset España Group, the content distribution, sales, and production division from Mediaset España, expands its third-party catalog adding new titles for global distribution: "Desaparecido", a Zebra Producciones (Grupo iZen) and Pausoka Entertainment production for Netflix and Primeran (EITB), and "Olivia", a Studio60 and Womack production currently filming.

Created by Xabi Zabaleta and Marta Grau and starring Gorka Otxoa, Itziar Atienza, Jon Lukas, Ane Rot, and singer Leire Martínez, "Desaparecido" (aka. "Vanished") has become a major hit on both Netflix, where it remained in the Top 10 for nine consecutive weeks, and Primeran, breaking records as the most-viewed title in EITB’s history. This youth thriller follows the disappearance of a teenager after a camping trip in the mountains with friends, leaving only a disturbing video posted on social media just before vanishing. Notably, "Desaparecido" is the first series in Spain to be filmed entirely in two parallel versions, in Spanish and Basque.

Meanwhile, "Olivia" is a dramedy created and produced by David Troncoso ("The Head, Paradise", "La Ley del mar", "Veneno") and Flipy ("Las Bravas", "Noobes", "La Ley del mar", "El Chiringuito de Pepe"). The series is centered on Mario Rey (Pablo Chiapella), the country’s most popular TV weatherman, who after an unexpected twist in his life seeks refuge with his daughter Olivia (María Schwinning) at the olive grove of his estranged father Tomás (Nancho Novo), with whom he has not spoken for 30 years.

Set in the world of olive oil, the series combines feel-good storytelling with a touch of magical realism. At its heart, it explores the fleeting nature of the present and the lasting value that only time can reveal. The cast also includes Fernando Tejero, Kira Miró, María Barranco, and Lalachus.
