Factual series marks first coproduction between the two companies
BBC Studios has struck its first coproduction deal with Globo in Brazil on a show that will explore the Amazon.
The as-yet untitled docuseries will transport audiences to the heart of the Amazon and is being produced by BBC Studios Specialist Factual Productions.
A production date is yet to be confirmed, but Globo will work with BBCS on providing access across the country, with the UK-based organisation selling the show globally.
Gabriel Jacome, director of content at TV Globo, described the series as “a milestone for factual production in Brazil” and said the show would resonate globally.
“It will be one of the most ambitious factual projects to emerge from Latin America – a unique opportunity to tell a genuinely Brazilian story with global reach.
“This co-production is more than a series: it is a testament to the strength of Indigenous communities, the urgency of protecting the Amazon, and the power of audiovisual storytelling as a tool for transformation,” Jacome added.
Janet Brown, president of global content sales at BBCS, added: ”This new documentary series represents a truly collaborative project designed to spark meaningful conversation, while giving us a valuable opportunity to deliver homegrown storytelling for our Latin American audiences and spotlight the Amazon’s rich Indigenous heritage on a global stage.”
