Global Agency acquires rights to Spanish drama Queens

Global Agency has made an exclusive international deal with José Luis Moreno for the period drama Queens.

Queens is an English-language period drama that tells the story of a rivalry between Elizabeth I of England and Mary Stuart of Scotland.

The Spanish version of the drama was launched by broadcaster Radio Television Española (RTVE) during the last MIPTV.

Izzet Pinto, CEO of Global Agency, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with José Luis Moreno who is a real legend with his acting and production skills.

“The very first moment that we saw Queens, we got so excited as it impressed us with its story, structure, performances and production quality.”

The move marks the first time Turkey-based Global Agency has sold a Spanish-produced drama series.

“Our goal is to deliver this epic content to all around the world and we hope Queens will win the love of the audiences worldwide,” said Pinto. “As a final word, I would like to thank once again to Mr. Moreno for his trust to our global brand.”

Moreno, the creator and the producer of the drama, added: “After more than 180 national and international productions, I considered the challenge of producing the most ambitious series in our long career, Queens, and fortunately we turned it into a great success.

“To orchestrate such a special product, we needed the best distributors. They had to be high-powered, with a great prestige in the audiovisual world and a high sensitivity and habit of dealing with big quality projects.”
