VIS, Spain’s Fasten Films to Co-Produce Priest Drama ‘Pastor’ Variety 4 hrs ago
Building its presence in Europe, ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS) has closed a deal with on-the-rise Spanish production company Fasten Films to co-produce “Pastor,” a social-issue drama.
Created and written by Natxo López, the creator of “Stolen Away” and writer for Mediaset España banner series “Caronte,” “Pastor” will be directed by Spanish film-TV helmer Jorge Dorado, acclaimed for his work on “The Head,” but with credits reaching back to “Anna” and “The Department of Time.”

Billed as “a story of anger, pride, revenge but mostly of love, which will bring the viewers to question where the boundaries between good and bad lies,” the 10-hour “Pastor” turns on a socially-committed and controversial priest who, enraged at injustice, ends up crossing the line to protect his parishioners.
ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS) is working with Fasten Films on the drama series Pastor, created and written by Natxo López (Stolen Away, Caronte).
