Italy’s Mediaset Distribution has secured a new content deal with Ukrainian public broadcaster Suspilne, covering a package of 10 television series and 11 feature films.
The package features the popular Rivombrosa franchise, including period drama series Elisa di Rivombrosa, a love story set amidst aristocratic intrigue and political conspiracy in 18th-century Piedmont; Le Stagioni del Cuore, an epic family and romantic drama spanning several decades of Italian history; as well as biographical miniseries Rodolfo Valentino – La Leggenda and Callas e Onassis.
The film selection includes Beato tra le donne, Una donna alla finestra, Pierre Granier-Deferre’s historical drama starring Romy Schneider, Philippe Noiret and Gastone Moschin; and Giuseppe Tornatore’s acclaimed Stanno tutti bene, starring Marcello Mastroianni.
Claudia Marra, Sales manager at Mediaset Distribution, said: “We are particularly pleased with this agreement with Suspilne Ukraine. It is an important deal for Mediaset Distribution and confirms the continued international appeal of our catalogue, from iconic Italian fiction such as Elisa di Rivombrosa to prestigious miniseries and classic films. We are also very proud that these stories will reach audiences in Ukraine through the country’s public broadcaster, especially at such a significant moment for the Ukrainian media landscape.”
Grygoriy Tychyna, general producer of Suspilne TV, commented: “For Suspilne, making high-quality European content accessible to Ukrainian audiences is an important part of our public-service mission. At a time when Ukrainian viewers are facing enormous challenges, access to compelling stories and the cultural heritage of European countries is particularly valuable. This partnership with Mediaset allows us to bring outstanding Italian drama and cinema to Ukrainian audiences and to strengthen their connection with the wider European cultural space.”
