Spiral partners with Fremantle for Toda la Sangre

Spiral International is to partner with Fremantle on the production of Mexican series Toda la Sangre. The series will be co-produced in Mexico by Fremantle’s Latin American division and the global distributor will also handle international rights outside of the Americas.

Toda la Sangre is a crime thriller series, based on a novel by the same name, written by bestselling Mexican author Bernardo Esquinca and the third installment in the four-book Casasola Saga.

Esquinca stated: “The adaptation of Toda La Sangre respects the novel’s essence and fuels new exciting storylines.”

The series is developed, produced, and distributed by executive producer Zasha Robles from Spiral International, a subsidiary of Etcetera Group, the creator behind the International Emmy winner Falco.

“The introduction of Fremantle into the bloody mix of Esquinca’s novels will help us add an international perspective to a premium show that is set to intrigue and terrify audiences across the globe, in a world created by the author that is nothing short of a commercial work of art. We are excited to be working with Fremantle on this project. Their collective track record, experience, and input will be key to the show’s success,” said Robles.

The show is also developed and will be distributed by both Lionsgate’s streaming service Starzplay in Latin America and Spanish-language streamer Pantaya, a Lionsgate and Hemisphere Media Group Inc. joint venture, in the United States and Puerto Rico. Toda la Sangre will be among Starzplay’s first international original series.

Fremantle’s Coty Cagliolo, Head of Production and Manuel Martí, Head of Scripted Development in Latin America, said: “We believe this ambitious project will help to confirm our status as a truly global drama studio.”
