DramaBox begins production on Brazilian vertical series with Cimarrón and announces trio of Colombian originals

DramaBox has begun production on a new Brazilian vertical series in what the company described as an expansion of its Latin American slate, according to Deadline. The platform’s new project is set to star telenovela actor Duda Reis and is being developed with Cimarrón, a regional production company identified in the report as a production powerhouse.

The Deadline report, which described the announcement as exclusive, frames the Brazilian series as part of DramaBox’s continued shift toward localized “verticals,” a format the platform has used to build regional audiences through serialized, short-form storytelling. The report did not provide a premiere date or specify whether the series will arrive as a full-season drop or in installments.

In addition to the Brazil project, DramaBox is also moving forward with a trio of Colombian originals. Deadline reported that the platform has put the Colombian series into production as part of the same Latin American rollout, positioning the slate to reach audiences across multiple markets rather than relying on a single country’s programming.

The report named two of the Colombian titles as Mi Barco del Amor Zarpó and Sin Ti, and it also listed Besando al Hermano Equivocado as another of the productions in the group. Deadline indicated there are three productions in total from Colombia, but the item available here does not include the third title by name or add casting and production details for the remaining series.

Deadline’s account linked the new programming pushes to DramaBox’s larger strategy for Latin America verticals, emphasizing that the platform is “going deeper” into the segment. The announcement also suggests the company is continuing to partner with regional production players in each market, using local talent and production relationships to build content designed for specific audiences.

As the projects move through production, the next steps for viewers and industry partners will hinge on release timing, marketing, and distribution windows, which the report did not specify. DramaBox has not been described in the material here as altering its broader rights approach, but the new slate implies continued investment in original development and ongoing cross-border commissioning.

The announcements arrive with limited public detail on production size, episode counts, or budgets. Still, they reflect a steady pattern in streaming and short-form media of tailoring content pipelines to regional tastes and production ecosystems, with DramaBox presenting the expanded Brazil and Colombia lineup as a substantive step in its Latin American growth plan.
