The plots will be aired on the Israeli channels Viva, Viva +, Viva Vintage, Viva Premium, and are scheduled to premiere from September 2022, throughout the coming year.
The negotiation reinforces the partnership of more than 19 years between Globo and Dori Media. The first licensed title was “The Clone” in 2003 and, since then, more than 30 Globo productions have been aired by the group.

“Dori Media has a diversified content in its television channels, and Brazilian telenovelas have always played an important role in our lineups. We are happy to continue this long and good relationship with Globo, with new successes to come,” comments Dana Yaffe, Dori Media’s vice president of content & channels.
