Globo is present at Series Mania, one of the largest international festivals dedicated to the series format, with its main releases in its portfolio. Furthermore, "Raul Seixas: Let Me Sing" will have its first worldwide showing on March 25th, at 6 p.m., during the event. The Globoplay Originals series is the first Brazilian production selected for the International Panorama Competition. 

Highlights include the drama series "The End" and "Justice: Misconduct" and the action series "Dissident Archangel" and "Anti-Kidnapping Unit." Created and written by Oscar nominee Fernanda Torres and with artistic direction by Andrucha Waddington ("Under Pressure"), "The End" follows a group of friends, and their joys, madness, and frustrations, over four decades. The production features cast members such as Fabio Assunção ("All The Flowers"), Marjorie Estiano ("Under Pressure"), and David Junior ("A Life Worth Living").

Meanwhile, "Justice: Misconduct," by Manuela Dias, with artistic direction by Gustavo Fernández ("Pantanal"), follows four characters who end up in prison and, seven years later, leave jail and need to resume their lives in search of justice that goes beyond logic and legal trials. The plot, structured as an anthology series, follows the same format as "Justice: Life is not fair," which was nominated for the International Emmy Awards for Best Actress with Adriana Esteves and Best Drama Series.

"Also, Dissident Archangel" and "Anti-Kidnapping Unit," both created by José Junior, who also created "Living On A Razor Edge," are established franchises. The former follows a sergeant leading a Special Operations Battalion team on a quest for revenge, while the latter delves into the turbulent routine of the Anti-Kidnapping Division in Rio de Janeiro.

For formats, Globo is bringing to Series Mania "The Others," an Original Globoplay series created by Lucas Paraízo, the same author of "Under Pressure." The story follows two neighboring couples who come into conflict after their teenage children get into a fight, leading to outrageous consequences. It is a relevant series about how far a lack of dialogue can push people. In unscripted formats, "What a Wonderful Cuisine Class" is a culinary competition reality show featuring celebrities who do not know how to cook, with the host facing the fun challenge of turning them into chefs.

Rodrigo Nascimento, Head of International Business - EMEA described the company's catalog for Series Mania : "The year celebrating Globo's centenary began with the Oscar for "I'm Still Here", the selection of "Reincarnate" at the Berlinale, and now the selection of "Raul Seixas: Let Me Sing' at Series Mania". This reflects the strength of our content. Furthermore, we are here with a varied portfolio to present to the market, with acclaimed dramas, successful action series, and innovative formats. Europe is an important and strategic territory for Globo, and we aim to increasingly expand our presence on the continent," expressed.
