Yes Studios’ "Bloody Murray," winner of Best Comedy at Series Mania in 2022, is to be adapted by Cavea+, Georgia's first legal streaming platform. The deal is the first for Yes Studios in the territory, and it will also be the first-ever scripted adaptation of an Israeli series in Georgia. Cavea+, part of the Cavea Cinema chain company, is Georgia’s first legal streaming platform, bridging the gap between traditional cinema and digital streaming. It offers a diverse array of entertainment options. In addition to its extensive library of local and international content, it is committed to producing and showcasing original Georgian-language films and series, thus giving a platform to local talent and storytelling.
Gvantsa Garmelia from Cavea+ commented: “As our first scripted format, this collaboration with yes Studios is a landmark deal for us and indeed for the streaming industry in Georgia. We are most excited to be working with the Yes Studios team in adapting Bloody Murray and look forward to bringing its warmth, heart, and wonderful humor – all with a uniquely Georgian flavor - to our growing subscriber base later this year.”
Sharon Levi, Managing Director at Yes Studios, commented: “We are honored that Bloody Murray is a trailblazer and will be the first Israeli scripted series adapted in Georgia. Cavea+ has invested a great deal of faith in our wonderful show, but we have every confidence that its blend of feel-good humor, romance, and readily identifiable characters will prove a big hit and quickly have viewers wanting more.”
This new deal with Cavea+ represents the first for the Bloody Murray format, although the original 9 x 25’ series has been acquired by CBC in Canada and Arte in France/Germany. A second season is currently in development following a re-commission by Yes TV. The series was created and written by Stav Idisis and produced by Yes TV and Kastina Communications. Yes Studios represents the completed series and format worldwide.
