Mediaset Distribution, the distribution partner of MGE in Europe, and TVI announced that the local adaptation of “Amanda” (160 episodes) will be aired in Portugal in March with the title of “Quer o Destino?”. This new version will be produced by Plural Entertainment and broadcasted by the commercial channel Televisão Independente (TVI).
“Quer o Destino?” narrates the story of Vitoria Santareno, a young woman who decides to leave the capital and return to her original town seeking revenge. When she was only 14, she was abused and witness of a brutal homicide. Now she is ready and willing to look for justice, but her main obstacle will end up being her own heart.
“TVI is thrilled to adapt one more title produced by Mega, after the success of ‘Hijos Del Monte’ and ‘¿Dónde Está Elisa?’. Working with Mega again is really great. Besides being a great partner to work with, we know that we always have the guarantee of a good story. We also hope ‘Quer o Destino?’ sends a strong message to our viewers to end violence against women because we know that marketing campaigns are not enough,” said Margarida V. Pereira, Director of International Acquisitions at TVI.
Manuela Caputi, Head of Content Sales at Mediaset Distribution, expressed: “MGE and Mediaset Distribution are very pleased with this new adaption as it confirms the boundless power that currently have high-quality stories as a format to be adapted. ‘Amanda’ is a strong story and it’s very modern related to the feminine’s thematic like emancipation and justice”.
