Dramedy Finding Grace (13×30’) stars comedian Grace Fraga (The Steve Harvey Show) as an LA-based millennial comedian with a disastrous love life. It’s only when Grace’s mum comes to stay and she secures a 13-week gig at a high-end hotel that she begins to realise why her romances fail.

Supernatural crime series Vampyra is about a reporter working on a murder investigation when she slowly starts to become a vampire due to her boyfriend. She goes on to start a blog about the supernatural and paranormal, while desperately trying to find a cure for vampirism.

Rose Marie Vega, founder and president of RMVISTAR, said: “To have the opportunity to introduce series fuelled by Barney’s pithy writing, fully realised characters and joyful plots to a global audience will be a guilty pleasure for all of us at RMVISTAR.”
