Alexandros Avranas, a Venice Film Festival Silver Lion winner for his directorial work on the drama ‘Miss Violence,’ has been selected to direct the Greek adaptation of ‘The Others,’ a successful Brazilian television series. The project is already underway in production as part of a format sales agreement finalized in late 2024 between Alpha TV and Globo, the Brazilian media company.
‘The Others’ was created and written by Lucas Paraizo, a prominent Brazilian television producer. The series centers on two neighboring couples whose relationship deteriorates following a conflict between their teenage sons, which escalates into broader interpersonal tensions. The show explores themes of communication breakdown and its consequences. The original Brazilian version achieved significant commercial success and spawned a third season that premiered during the current year.
The Greek production features Maria Nafpliotou, Charis Fragulis, Nikos Psarras, and Paschalis Terzis in lead roles, with production handled by Primavisione. Paraizo visited the Greek set during filming and expressed enthusiasm about the adaptation, noting his prior admiration for Avranas’s work. Alpha TV is simultaneously developing a local version of another Globo series, the telenovela ‘All The Flowers,’ with the same production partner.
The format agreement reflects Globo’s expanding presence in the international television market. The company has also licensed adaptations of ‘Her Own Destiny’ to both Peru and Portugal in recent developments. Both Globo and Alpha TV have characterized the partnership as a significant undertaking, emphasizing the universal appeal of Paraizo’s storytelling and the commitment to producing high-quality drama for Greek audiences.
