Mexican media and telecommunications corporation Grupo Televisa, S.A.B., today announced it will greenlight production of multiple English-language series to fuel its own original content demands as well as those from the growing global on-demand and traditional TV markets. Among the first to utilize the 1991 Mexican-Canadian tax treaty for scripted series – together with Vancouver-based Odyssey Media - Televisa will offer the debut series in this venture,
Duality, starring Dougray Scott (
Hemlock Grove,
Desperate Housewives), at MIPCOM.
Duality is the story of an elite, top-secret team of State Department, CIA and Mexican intelligence agents within Mexico who wage war against the world’s most dangerous villains operating in Latin America. The series, based on an original story from writer-producer Barry Schkolnick (
The Good Wife), depicts characters on dangerous missions while battling their own personal demons, maintaining their secret identities and encountering life-threatening conflicts.
