The company, part of independent content studio AGC Studios, is working with Venezuelan writer and director Sebastian Gutierrez (The Eye, Gothika, Elizabeth Harvest, Cinemax’s Jett), who also serves as showrunner. Lantica Studios is providing production services.

Carla Gugino (Watchmen) heads the ensemble cast, which also includes Amelia Eve (The Haunting of Bly Manor), Gentry White (Palm Springs), Philip Winchester (Law & Order: SVU), Margot Bingham, Gaite Jansen, Nora Arnezeder and Ana de la Reguera.

The 8×60’ drama centres on a criminal gang fleeing a botched jewellery heist who are then forced to hide out in a beachside estate where two mysterious women live in seclusion.

“These are strange times we are all going through and, after spending months locked in watching all the streamer fare I’d been missing, I feel audiences are ready for longform storytelling to become bolder, more provocative and with more international appeal,” said Gutierrez.

The production follows recent projects from AGC TV including season two of sci-fi series War of the Worlds for Epix and the division is in pre-production on the TV adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s News of a Kidnapping for Amazon Studios.

“Sebastian came to us with an amazing script, a clear vision of how to execute an eight-episode series in the DR, and together we’ve assembled a terrific cast. We loved this project so much we decided to pull the trigger and fully finance Leopard Skin,” said AGC Television president Lourdes Diaz.
