Newen Distribution is showcasing its first Spanish acquisition, <em>The Room</em> [in picture], for NATPE buyers.

The 8×45-minute cop thriller is written by Víctor García, Eduardo Villanueva and Manuel Sanabria. The TF1 drama <em>Tomorrow Is Ours</em> has already been licensed into markets such as Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Canada and Poland, and Newen Distribution is looking to add to this list at NATPE. “We’ve created a Spanish version in order to increase our chances of positioning our daily saga in the LatAm market,” says Malika Abdellaoui, the company’s managing director.

Newen Distribution is also spotlighting the cop show <em>Candice Renoir</em>, which has been sold into more than 70 territories. Abdellaoui highlights the series’ procedural format and strong female lead as being appealing characteristics for buyers.
