Fremantle, Globo to Co-Produce, Distribute Brazilian Drama Series ‘Crime Inc’
variety.comJamie Lang Powerhouse production and distribution outfit Fremantle and Brazilian public broadcaster Globo are teaming on the new drama “Crime Inc,” which is being developed and produced by Mixer Films and Fremantle.
Globo will distribute the show in Brazil via its Globoplay platform, with Fremantle taking rights to the rest of the world. The series turns on Vagner and his father, Marquinhos, a leader of a Rio de Janeiro mafia family.
Intergenerational infighting about succession within the organization puts everyone on edge, and young Vagner is willing to do anything to become the first Black leader of the group after his father retires. “We are very excited about this series,” said Mixer Films president João Daniel Tikhomiroff. “A fiction inspired by true events, full of conflicts and twists, with a strong cinematic narrative.
Fremantle and Globo, together with Mixer Films, will produce a series that will put the audience on the edge of their seats.” “Crime Inc” is written by Dudu Nobre and Caio Cobra and adapted for the screen by Marcos Osorio Vidal and Willy Van Broock.
