Globo And Fremantle Announce Co-Production Deal For Crime Inc.

Globo and Fremantle have announced a co-production deal for new drama Crime Inc.
The drama will be developed and produced by the award-winning Mixer Films and Fremantle. Globo will have exclusive rights to the series in Brazil, where it will be available on Globoplay, and Fremantle will retain rights for the rest of the world.
The deal was brokered by Fremantle’s Head of Scripted Development, LATAM, Manuel Marti, and Globo’s Head of Content of Digital Products, Tatiana Costa. It was during last year's MIPCOM that the project was pitched.
Written by Dudu Nobre and Caio Cobra, and scripted by Marcos Osorio Vidal and Willy Van Broock, Crime Inc tells the story of Vagner and his father Marquinhos, one of Rio de Janeiro's mafia leaders. With fights between brothers and disputes over succession in the organized crime world, Vagner will do whatever it takes to become the first black leader of the Rio de Janeiro mafia after his father's retirement.
"We are very happy with this first agreement between Globo and Fremantle, which I am sure will open doors to new opportunities. In co-production agreements, we look for stories with elements that speak to different audiences and cultures, and we believe in the potential that Crime Inc has to engage both Brazilian and international audiences," commented Manuel Belmar, Director of Digital Products at Globo.
Manuel Marti, Head of Scripted Development, LATAM at Fremantle, added: "This partnership with Globo marks an exciting chapter for Fremantle as we continue to explore compelling stories that transcend borders. Crime Inc offers a unique narrative that will captivate audiences both in Brazil and globally, showcasing the richness and diversity of Brazilian storytelling."
"We are very excited about this series. 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!," commented João Daniel Tikhomiroff, President of Mixer Films.
The agreement is in line with Globo's co-production strategy, which last year launched the series Rio Connection, in partnership with Sony and Floresta, and Codex 632, a co-production between Globoplay, RTP and SPi. The focus is on producing high-end content for the streaming platform.
