Canal+ Acquires HBO Europe’s “Patria,” Starring Susana Abaitu

Susana Abaitua’s land is expanding…

France’s Canal+ has acquired HBO Europe’s first Spanish original drama, Patria, starring the 29-year-old Spanish actress.

Susana Abaitu

With a narrative that spans more than three decades, Patria tells a story of the Spanish Basque country threatened by the terrorism of the leftist separatist group ETA, as seen through the eyes of two families divided by the violent conflict.

On the day ETA announces a ceasefire, Bittori (Elena Irureta) visits the cemetery where her husband Txato, who was murdered by the terrorists, is buried. She tells him she’s decided to return home to the village where they lived together to try and get closure.

Bittori’s presence in the village causes chaos — enraging Miren (Ane Gabarain), her neighbor, once a close friend, and the mother of Joxe Mari, an imprisoned terrorist and the probable killer of Txato. The rift between the two women and their deeply held convictions make trying to forget impossible. The question is, will they be able to forgive in a community shattered by political fanaticism?

In addition to Abaitua, who portrays Nerea, Irureta and Gabarain, the series also stars Iñigo Arambarri, Mikel Laskurain, Loreto Mauleón and Jon Olivares.

Patria was created and written by Aitor Gabilondo, based on the bestselling novel by Fernando Aramburu.

The series will premiere in HBO Europe’s 21 territories on September 27, while it will be released on the same day in the U.S. on HBO and HBO Max. 

HBO Europe Releases First Trailer for Isabel Coixet’s “Foodie Love”

Isabel Coixet is spreading the (foodie) love…

HBO Europe has released the first trailer for the 59-year-old Spanish film and television director’s drama Foodie Love and set a premiere date.

Isabel Coixet

The WarnerMediabroadcaster is to launch the series, which features Laia Costa, star of German crime feature Victoria, and Cromo and Supermax star Guillermo Pfeningin December across Europe. 

Foodie Loveis an eight-part, half-hour series about the relationship between two food lovers who meet through a mobile app.

Costa plays one half of the couple whose relationship is forged between courses. She plays a thirty-three-year-old book editor, smart, and somewhat suspicious of relationships. Argentinian actor Pfening plays the other half, a successful mathematician, cultivated, and at times a little naïve.

The two thirtysomethings embark on getting to know each other with the doubts of those who retain the scars of previous relationships. Over several dates they’ll have to discover if their common devotion to Japanese yuzu or shared distaste for foodie pretension are enough to build the foundations of a lasting love story.

In Spain, where the series marks HBO Europe’s first original out of the country, it will launch on December 4 and will roll out across the rest of the continent on December 25.

HBO Europe operates a slew of linear and digital services including SVOD services in Scandinavia, Spain and Portugal as well as linear networks across Central Europe. In the Baltics,HBO content is available via partner Telia in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

The series is Coixet’s first television series; she previously directed Emily Mortimer-fronted feature The Bookshop. It is produced by Miss Wasabi Filmsand filmed in Spain, France, Rome and Tokyo. Real restaurants, cafes and bars will provide the backdrop for the couple’s dates.
