Patrick Melrose, Witches head to Lat Am

Patrick Melrose received multiple Emmy nominations

Broadcasters in Latin America have acquired programming including Patrick Melrose, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, from the production and distribution arm of satcaster Sky.

Globosat, the multichannel cable and satellite TV service in Brazil, and DirecTV Latin America in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela have picked up the 5×60′ drama from Sky Vision.

It stars Cumberbatch as an aristocratic playboy who struggles to overcome the damage inflicted by an abusive father and a mother who tacitly condoned the behaviour.

The two broadcasters have also picked up A Discovery of Witches (8×60′), adapted from Deborah Harkness’s trilogy of novels, and season three (4×60′) of Arctic epic Fortitude from Sky Vision.

Meanwhile, Globosat’s channel GNT has acquired shortform comedy series The Slot and documentary Baby Hater, which looks at one woman’s decision not to have children.
