Disney+ is “ramping up production” across Europe, increasing commissioning for both scripted and non-scripted content, including a high-profile documentary on Welsh soul singer Duffy, a murder mystery set in Italy and a Turkish comedy featuring a 350-year-old vampire virgin.
The streamer’s head of content for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Angela Jain, speaking at the Series Mania TV festival on Wednesday, said Disney+ would be boosting regional production across Europe.
Jain outlined several regional highlights, including a feature documentary on Duffy, the Welsh soul singer who rocketed to global fame with the success of her hit single “Mercy” before dropping out of the public eye. Years later, Duffy posted on social media that she had been abducted and assaulted. The Disney+ documentary from Rare TV and Stellify Media will be the first time she has spoken publicly about her story.
