Globo working on more than 80 productions in 2024 - Valor International

At the “100 Years of Globo: Our Script Is Brazil” panel during Rio2C, an innovation and technology event running through Sunday in Rio de Janeiro, Globo executives on Tuesday (28) emphasized the company’s role in Brazilian audiovisual production and unveiled new projects slated for this year.

“We are currently working on more than 80 simultaneous projects, involving over 100 independent producers and dozens of initiatives in collaboration with Estúdios Globo,” said Manuel Belmar, Globo’s director of digital products.

“This means we’re prepared to compete with any international player entering our home turf,” Mr. Belmar added. “The year 2025 is truly special—100 years of Globo, 60 years of TV Globo, and 10 years of Globoplay. And what can you say about a Brazilian, homegrown platform that wins an Oscar in its 10th year, during the company’s centennial?”

Mr. Belmar joined Amauri Soares, executive director of TV Globo and Estúdios Globo, and comedian and TV host Paulo Vieira at the panel. Soares highlighted Globo’s nationwide reach by announcing new co-productions with its regional affiliates. Grupo Globo unit Editora Globo publishes Valor Econômico.

“We’re producing films together with our affiliated stations. What does that mean? It means we’ll go to cities like Manaus, Fortaleza, Recife, and Belo Horizonte, work with local screenwriters, directors, and talent, and shoot a film there under the artistic supervision of Estúdios Globo,” said Mr. Belmar.

As part of the company’s centennial celebrations, Mr. Soares announced two specials to be released in July. The first features the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (OSB) performing only songs from Brazilian telenovelas.

The second is a documentary series directed by Pedro Bial chronicling the history of the newspaper O Globo, founded by Irineu Marinho and the original cornerstone of what would become Grupo Globo. “These are two very special productions that we’ll deliver mid-year as part of the celebration,” said Mr. Soares.

Among the new projects announced is a feature film starring Fernanda Torres, who was nominated for Best Actress at this year’s Oscars for “Still Here.”

The real-estate tragicomedy titled The Agents continues the partnership between Globoplay and Conspiração, following the success of the film named Best International Feature by the Academy in 2025. The film is directed by Andrucha Waddington.
