Beta Film has closed significant international agreements for two of its most anticipated female-led highlights: the royal drama 'Queen Silvia' and the creative coming-of-age series 'La Vida Barcelona'. Sweden’s public broadcaster SVT acquired the Swedish second-window rights for 'Queen Silvia' ahead of its world premiere in Cannes, following its acquisition by Prime Video. The series chronicles the real-life romance between German-Brazilian interpreter Silvia Sommerlath and Swedish Crown Prince Carl Gustaf, starting from their 1972 meeting at the Munich Olympic Games.
Simultaneously, German public broadcaster ZDF has boarded 'La Vida Barcelona' as a co-production partner alongside Beta Film and Millstreet Films. Produced by the team behind 'Máxima' and directed by filmmakers including Katina Medina Mora, the series follows a young Dutch designer sent to Barcelona on a secret mission. These early deals underscore the strong global demand for high-end European television projects featuring prominent female leads and creative teams.
