Looking to tap into demand for female-driven Spanish comedies in the country, German broadcaster RTL has bought two original series by Spanish content powerhouse Movistar+ as well as one French drama series.

The Movistar+ originals Arde Madrid (8x30’) and Perfect Life (8x30’) are part of Beta's multi-year production and distribution deal that takes Beta's ongoing cooperation with the Spanish platform to the next level.

Perfect Life — described as a ‘dramedy’ following three very different women beyond 30, directed by Spanish star actress and co-creator Leticia Dolera, who also plays the lead — will be aired on FreeTV channel VOX and simultaneously on RTL’s streaming service TVNOW, followed by RTL Passion. Paco León's and Anna R. Costa’s multi-awarded period dramedy Arde Madrid on Ava Gardner’s wild days in late sixty’s Madrid will be aired on RTL Passion.

The French drama series Crimson Wedding (6 hours, Scarlett Production/France 3) will be launched on RTL’s streaming service TVNOW.
