Brazil’s Globo, Latin America’s biggest media company, presented a new lineup of feel-good telenovelas at its MipCancun Online Plus showcase Tuesday as an antidote to the raging global pandemic.
Citing a World Health Organization (Who) survey, Globo sales manager Pablo Ghiglioni noted that the Covid-19 outbreak and subsequent restrictions have “impacted society’s well-being.” “Since the beginning of the year, there has been an increase in cases of anxiety and depression in several countries around the world,” he said, quoting the report’s findings. In the U.S. alone, 40% of the respondents said they felt more anxious while 20% felt more depressed; one out of three felt more alone per the survey, Ghiglioni continued.
Faced with this “new normal,” audiences around the world are looking for lighter, more positive, escapist content, he attested.
Globo presented three telenovelas to fit that bill: “The Incredible 90s,” “The Good Side of Life!
