Asacha Media Group, the expanding European company, is partnering with Spanish Plano a Plano and Mexican Dopamine in “Cicatriz,” a cutting-edge thriller based on the bestselling novel by Juan Gomez Jurado.
“Cicatriz” was developed by two famous writers, Pablo Roa and Fernando Sancristobal, whose works include “Toy Boy”, “La Casa de Papel” and “Vis a Vis”.
The high-concept series revolves around a brilliant but lonely businessman who is about to make his millions when he meets a young woman bent on a long-planned revenge mission. “Cicatriz” will be fronted by a prominent international cast and is currently in the funding stage.
The Asacha Media Group has joined as a strategic partner and will be involved in production, pre-sales insurance and the development of an international production strategy.
“We are delighted with the rise of this very special project,” said Marina Williams, AMG Co-CEO. “This is a story that has great international resonance and appeal thanks to the huge fan base of Juan Gomez Jurado’s wonderful novel and the wonderful texts from Pablo and Fernando.”
Williams added that “Cicatriz” is a drama that “talks about Asacha’s primary ambition to be the home of
Classy and fun world class content that we look forward to working with
Our partners, Plano a Plano and Dopamine in bringing scripts to life.”
Plano a Plano is headed by Cesar Benitez, and Dopamine is headed by Videla Navarro. Both companies have proven track records, having produced highly successful Spanish-language series and formats, “Toy Boy” and “Amarres”.
