Among other projects to be highlighted, “The Death of the King” will also be presented, to be produced by SOMOS Productions and the Spanish company Imagia Films. "The Death of the King" is an adaptation of real events of corruption by a powerful construction company.

This political drama is developed in 8 episodes of 50 minutes, with two seasons.

 

Another project to be presented is “Sueños y Gloria”, to be produced by SOMOS Productions with the Dominican production company led by Claudia Maria Prida and Claudia Sofia Prida. “Sueños y Gloria” narrates in 8 episodes and two seasons the story of famous Dominican players who rise to the big leagues, the dream of baseball talent so abundant in the Caribbean and especially in the Dominican Republic. These stories are a testimony to the will and perseverance that allows the overcoming of circumstances and abuses (including racism). Finally, “Amanda” is offered, a 24-episode children-adolescent series in two seasons, which continues the successes of SOMOS Productions in this particular genre. "Amanda" is the story of a girl from a family of musicians with the best voice, but the worst motivation. Amanda loves designing fashions, but only her friends Belly and Linda understand and share her excitement for creating outfits. In the end Amanda and her companions turn songs into visual spectacles that unite notes, sounds, images and Fashion. These projects are all distributed by SOMOS Distribution.

 

Among the most impressive novelties by SOMOS Distribution are the contents of the French company NOVOCOMEDY, one of the largest global providers of non-verbal humorous shorts that have been presented on such prestigious channels as SONY, RAI, Discovery, Cartoon Network, Canal + and Zee TV. These shorts can be assembled as programs of different lengths or as interstitials in the programming grid. These clips, with lengths averaging 20 seconds, include candid cameras, home videos, children and animals in hilarious situations, magic acts, and extreme sports “bloopers”. This type of programming is very successful because of how versatile it is, especially in times where a touch of humor is needed.

 

Following its successful strategy of introducing international dramas to a globalized market, SOMOS Distribution also brings two shocking and successful Greek soap operas: “Wild Bees” and “Sasmos”. "Wild Bees" is the story of a conflict between a landowner who wants the land of a willful woman who inherits it along with her sisters. To do this, he presses for a marriage with tragic consequences. The 125-episode first season averaged 1.7 million viewers each night, making it one of the biggest hits on Greek television. In addition to this drama, the telenovela “Sasmos” is also offered, with 60 episodes that tell a story of generational revenge between families and the love between two members of them. It is based on a popular novel of the same name by Petroulakis Spyros.
