In a pre-MIP-TV deal, the first series of the premium drama Dry Water has been acquired by IVI from UK-based distributor DCD Rights for its feed of 15 countries across Russia, CIS and the Baltics.
Described as a ‘gripping drama’ of revenge and murder, the second series of Dry Water takes up the story after the shocking end to the first series and stars, alongside Victoria Guerra (Casanova Variations, Wilde Wedding), Monti Castiñeiras (Néboa, Fariña/Cocaine Coast), Sergio Pazos (Caiga Quien Caiga, Serramoura) and Adriano Luz (Mysteries Of Lisbon, Night Train to Lisbon).
The second series of Dry Water (8 x 60’) sees a traumatised detective Teresa (Guerra) pick up Fran’s investigation into the notorious Galdón familiy. She’s certain that Mauro, the family patriarch, has ties to arms trafficking – but how to prove it? Meanwhile, Mauro desperately seeks revenge for his son’s murder, coming into further conflict with the police as a result.
Dry Water has been renewed for a second season
Russia-based streaming service Ivi has acquired the first season of Spanish drama series Dry Water from UK distributor DCD Rights.
Ivi has acquired the 6×60′ show, produced by Galician prodco Portocabo and Portuguese indie SPi, for its feed in 15 countries across CIS and the Baltics.
The deal comes as the show has been renewed for a second season, comprising eight one-hour episodes. The show airs on TVG Galicia in Spain and Portuguese public broadcaster RTP.
The 6×60’ series has previously been sold to HBO in Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Portuguese-speaking Africa.
In the series, protagonist Teresa (Victoria Guerra) moves to Spain to investigate her brother’s suspicious death, and soon discovers that her brother’s former employer – also her own godfather – may know more than he lets on.
