Movistar Plus+ Lands ‘Doc’, ‘Narrow Road To The Deep North’, ‘Dope Girls’ & New ‘Outlander’ Through Sony Pictures Television Deal

EXCLUSIVE: Spain's Movistar Plus+ has gone shopping at Sony Pictures Television .

The streamer has acquired medical drama Doc , British crime drama Dope Girls , police thriller Long Bright River , the Jacob Elordi-starring Narrow Road to the Deep North and Outlander prequel Outlander: Blood of My Blood .

Each show will premiere in Spain in 2025, with launch date due to be announced in due course. They were all introduced to buyers at May's LA Screenings, where they began to create buzz.

Given this deal also includes library film titles, it something of a throwback to the former days of output deals — albeit in a 2024 manner. As such, Movistar Plus+ will premiere six features from the Sony Pictures library, namely Sundance title I Saw the TV Glow; Diana O. Pusić's Julia Louis-Dreyfuss debut Tuesday; Saoirse Ronan film The Outrun; Daddio, starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn; Nathan Silver's Between the Temples; and Summer Camp, starring Diane Keaton, Alfre Woodward and Kathy Bates.

Of the TV shows, Fox medical procedural Doc stars Molly Parker (House of Cards) and is based on Rai's Italian series Doc – Nelle tue Mani. Sony struck several deals for the show last month ahead of its January debut.

It centers on the hard-charging, brilliant Dr. Amy Elias (Parker), Chief of Internal and Family Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis, who after a brain injury erases the last eight years of her life, must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of patients she's treated, colleagues she's crossed, the soulmate she divorced, the man she now loves and the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away.

Dope Girls is the British crime drama set in 1920s Soho from Doctor Who and Industry producer Bad Wolf, featuring Julianne Nicholson (Mare of Easttown), Eliza Scanlen (Little Women) and Umi Myers (Bob Marley: One Love) among others. The BBC series follows Nicholson as Kate Galloway, a single mother who establishes a nightclub amidst the hedonistic uproar of post-World War I London, embracing a life of criminal activities with the dedicated aim of providing for her daughter.

Peacock's Long Bright River stars and is exec-produced by Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout, Les Misérables, Mamma Mia!), who plays a police officer who patrols a Philadelphia neighborhood hard-hit by the opioid crisis, and realizes a spate of murders may be connected to her history.

Narrow Road to the Deep North has been building buzz with Jacob Elordi (Euphoria, Priscilla, Saltburn) in the starring role. Based on Richard Flanagan's Booker Prize winning book of the same name, it is set in Australia and charts the cruelty of war, the tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love, as seen through the eyes of an Australian doctor and prisoner of war. Sony-owned Curio Pictures for Prime Video in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood is the latest series in the Outlander canon, and will air in the U.S. on Starz. It will explore the lives and relationship of Outlander lead Jamie's parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy), and Claire's parents, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine). The series will center on these two parallel love stories set in two different time periods, with Jamie's parents in the early 18th century Scottish Highlands and Claire's parents in WWI England.

Mark Young, EVP Distribution & Networks, EMEA, Sony Pictures Television, said: "These TV series show the breadth and expansive offering we have at Sony Pictures Television, and they all created phenomenal buzz when we presented them to clients at LA Screenings this year.

"Alongside this is a collection of acclaimed feature film titles which have been the talk of the film festival circuit through this year. This is a truly premium offering that builds on our longstanding relationship with the team at Movistar Plus+, and we are sure they will be enjoyed by audiences across Spain."
