“Perverso” es un thriller spin-off de “Parot”, que se estrenó hace tres años. La nueva serie cuenta la historia de Haro (Massagué), un refinado y maquiavélico aristócrata que cumple condena por violación y asesinato, y que es amenazado de muerte por Óscar (Cornet), un secuestrador que actúa contra la élite empresarial, de la que forma parte la mexicana Mariana (Pimentel).

Un thriller protagonizado por Iván Massagué (“Culpa Mía”) junto a Kira Miró (“De Perdidos a Río”), Esmeralda Pimentel (“Montecristo”) y Jan Cornet (“The Gold”). Completan el reparto Guillermo Bedward (“Tolkien”), Dalexa Meneses (“Senda Prohibida”), Carlos Ponce (“Blue Beetle”), Jorge Kent (“Reina Roja”), Pepe Ocio (“El Reino”), Diana Palazón...

Fully on-site last week for the first time since 2019, Spain’s Conecta Fiction & Entertainment, its first major TV event, returned to much of the winning formula of its early pre-pandemic editions: A spectacular setting in Spain, here the august historical city of Toledo; TV project pitches; an intense conference strand; marvellous networking opportunities, most especially the possibility of spending quality time with mover and shaker industry figures from Spain and Latin America.

“I love to be here and it’s healthy, mainly for networking. I’m learning a lot, it’s like going to school,” Fremantle’s Manuel Marti enthused at Toledo. Most attendees would agree with him.

This year’s edition was the biggest ever, with 728 delegates,...

Portugal’s “The Last Wolf,” Lebanon’s “Status Quo” and Uruguay’s “The Invisible Ink” proved big winners at the 6th Conecta Fiction & Entertainment, which will wrap Friday in Toledo, Spain.

A potential part of a burgeoning production axis between Spain and Portugal, “The Last Wolf” won the largest prize of the night, a development deal at Spanish public broadcaster Rtve, worth an estimated €50,000 and a virtual invitation to set the project up as a co-production with Spain.

The prize is a sign of the times. Battling financial straights, Rtve is turning to co-production or license deals – with its peers in Europe (Germany’s Zdf Studios on Simon West Magellan epic “Boundless”) or go-ahead and more flexible U.S. companies (Vis and Amazon’s Prime Video on “Parot”).

Co-produced by SPi and Cascais-based Caracol Protagonista, two of Portugal’s most international production houses, “The Last Wolf” has a narco edge...
