Turner Latin America is kicking off a drama about a female soccer team after striking a deal with The Young Pope co-producer Mediapro.
The pay-tv broadcaster has commissioned Las Bravas F.C from the Spanish production company, which recently produced All or Nothing: Manchester City for Amazon. The show, which was created by Enrique Pérez (Noobees) and written by José Javier Reguilón (Vis a Vis), Luis Gamboa (Ingobernable) and Paula Rendón (Impresentables).
The show, which consists of eight 45 minute episodes, follows the Las Bravas team, who must overcome difficulties to win the regional championship. It follows Roberto Velarde, a former world-class Mexican football player, who was forced into retirement because of a heart condition and after losing a bet becomes the team’s coach.
It is the first show to emerge from a five-year deal between the two companies and comes on the eve of Natpe, which kicks off in Miami.
