Exclusive: Crime heist drama series Vanda is headed to Hulu. The U.S. streamer will be the exclusive SVOD home to the series, an international co-production from Legendary, indie producer SPi and Spain’s La Panda.
The deal also marks a continued expansion of Legendary’s international TV business, with Apple TV+s recent acquisition of Legendary-produced Drops of God, a series set in the world of fine wine based on a Japanese manga property. Legendary Television, Dynamic Television, France Televisions and Hulu Japan produced in partnership with Adline Entertainment.
It was previously announced that Vanda had been picked up by Canal+ Group for its channel Polar+ in France, by Lionsgate+ in Brazil and by Special Broadcasting Service (Sbs) in Australia. Vanda is also available in Portugal via the SVOD platform Opto/Sic, where it began airing in March 2022 and was recently nominated for an Academia de Cinema Sophia Award...

Set in Costa da Caparica, Portugal, amidst the 2008 economic crisis, “Vanda” – which screened at Berlin Film Festival’s European Film Market – tells the true-to-life story of distressed hairdresser turned unlikely criminal Dulce Caroço.
Our titular character, played by Gabriella Barros[/link] (“Al Berto”), is introduced as she lies on the floor, vacant-faced, smoking a cigarette. Moments later, we see her doused in disguise, a blond wig and oversized sunglasses.
In this hour-long, crime-heist episodic, created by Patrícia Müller (“Madre Paula”) and directed by Simão Cayatte (“A Viagem”), Vanda goes from surviving to destitute in a matter of scenes. Her beauty salon seats sit largely empty. Her deadbeat husband is out of work and has used up all of her money, leaving bills unpaid and the bank breathing down her neck. Desperate to provide for her children, she resolves to turn their lives around by robbing a bank.
