The Globoplay original The Others has landed its first remake, with a Greek version in production for Alpha TV.
The format deal with Globo sees Primavisione producing the remake of the Brazilian original with a cast that includes Maria Nafpliotou, Charis Fragulis, Nikos Psarras, and Paschalis Terzis. Globo has also closed a deal with Alpha TV and Primavisione for the local remake of the telenovela All The Flowers.
Globo has stepped up its format licensing activity, recently landing remakes of Her Own Destiny in Peru and Pages of Life in Portugal.
“The start of filming for the Greek version of The Others is another important step in our international formats strategy,” said Angela Colla, head of the international business at Globo. “The partnership with Alpha TV proves the strength of Brazilian narratives that transcend borders. The essence of Lucas Paraizo’s text is about human relationships, and we are excited to see how this story will resonate with the Greek audience.”
“Our adaptation of The Others underscores Alpha TV’s unwavering commitment to delivering cinematic, top-tier drama to the Greek market,” added Christos Kompos, program director at Alpha TV. “Partnering with a global powerhouse like Globo gives us the creative foundation to produce something truly exceptional. Lucas Paraizo has written a narrative that holds a direct mirror to modern society, showing how quickly community ties can fracture when people stop talking to one another. Under the visionary direction of Alexandros Avranas and led by a phenomenal ensemble cast, we are elevating this incredible Brazilian psychological drama into a culturally distinct, high-end production. It is a privilege to collaborate with Globo to breathe new life into a story that is as globally relevant as it is locally poignant.”
