Rafa Sales Ross Guest Contributor Globoplay, the freemium streaming service of Brazilian media giant Globo, is stepping into the genre market with “Reincarnate.” The streamer’s first original horror series will have its first public bow as part of this year’s Berlinale Series Market Selects, with an official release date yet to be announced. “Reincarnate” has a nine-episode run and begins with Tulio, a former cop, released from prison after spending 18 years locked up for killing his partner, Caio.

On his first day of freedom, Tulio plans on ending his life, but a teenager knocks on his door, claiming to be Caio reincarnated.

Together, the two embark on a journey to solve Caio’s murder, find the real killer, and restore Tulio’s honor. The series takes place in the Brazilian countryside and features stars such as Taís Araujo (“Shades of Sin,” ‘A Mother’s Love”), Julia Dalavia (“Pantanal”) and Grace Passô (“The Day I Met You”).

Bruno Safadi signs the series’s artistic direction, with the script penned by a writer’s collective composed of Juan Jullian, Igor Verde, Elísio Lopes Jr, Amanda Jordão, and Flávia Lacerda.
