EXCLUSIVE: Your Honor, which was just revealed to be the top-selling scripted format of the decade, has landed its first remake in Latin America.
The Israeli series, which aired in the U.S. starring Bryan Cranston, will be remade by Brazil’s Teleimage, with broadcaster discussions underway.
Your Honor tells the story of a respected senior judge whose son is involved in a hit-and-run accident, leading to difficult choices, moral dilemmas, and terrible consequences as he attempts to keep the crime a secret. Cranston played the lead for Showtime’s version in the U.S. No word on casting yet for the Brazilian version.
Teleimage’s Your Honor is the 14th international adaptation. According to a K7 report last week, the yes Studios show is the joint-top-selling scriped format of the decade.
Teleimage has been behind the likes of HBO Max Brazil’s The American Guest, which followed the journey of former U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt alongside Brazilian army officer Candido Rondon.
Teleimage content director Eliane Ferreira said: “Since the first time this possibility was shown to us, we were immediately confident that this project will resonate strongly with Brazilian audiences and make an impact on both domestic and regional markets. Your Honor has a perfect mix of what Brazilian audiences mostly enjoy: a strong story structure, filled with unexpected twists, intense pacing, and characters so vivid one could expect them to pop out of the screen.”
Yes Studios boss Sharon Levi added: “We are so proud to continue Your Honor’s ongoing international journey with our new partners at Teleimage and are excited to work with its talented team to develop this standout series for one of the biggest television markets in the world.”
Your Honor was created by Ron Ninio and Shlomo Mashiach and produced by yes TV and Koda Communications. Yes Studios represents the original drama and the format worldwide.
