EXCLUSIVE: DramaBox is going deeper into the Latin American verticals world.
We can reveal the microdrama platform has put into production a Brazilian series starring telenovela actor Duda Reis with regional production powerhouse Cimarrón and is rolling out a trio of productions from Colombia: Mi Barco del Amor Zarpó Sin Ti, Besando al Hermano Equivocado and Soy la Novia de mi Peor Enemigo.
The Brazilian show has begun filming in São Paolo with Cimarrón’s Diego Robino and Lourenço Sant’Anna producing. A Q4 release date has been slated.
Production details are scarce, but will star Reis, whose credits include TV Globo’s telenovelas Vai na Fé, Vale Tudo and Coração Acelerado, and Flávio Leming, whose has acted in the likes of Record’s series Reis and Se Eu Fosse Você 3.
We understand it follows a woman who marries a stranger, not knowing he is the billionaire who destroyed her past.
Cimarrón’s Star+’s titles include Star+’s Impuros, Amazon Prime Video’s September Mornings and Dom, and Society of the Snow, which was a Netflix co-production nominated for an Academy Award in 2024. The company produced 17 titles across Latin American in 2025. Sant’Anna is also known for I’m Still Here, the Brazilian feature film that won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film last year, while Robino produced Netflix’s The Two Popes, which received three Academy Award nominations in 2020.
For DramaBox, the microdrama app that’s been downloaded more than 460 million times since launch in 2023, the production is part of a wider expansion into Brazil. With microdrama production much shorter than regular TV series, DramaBoz recently released its first Brazilian original, has another scheduled to launch late this month and two others are in post-production.
A similar expansion is ongoing in Colombia, where three titles are debuting this month, each of which was developed with Willy Barragán’s Dos Ke Tres Films.
Mi Barco del Amor Zarpó Sin Ti dropped on August 4 and stars Mattias Vega, Laura Cano, Johanna Fadul and Jose Luis Uribe Ochoa, while Besando al Hermano Equivocado goes live on Monday (August 17), with Eros Castillo, Karol Saavedra, Alejandra Tejada and Miguel Ángel Ramos leading the cast.
The third, Soy la Novia de mi Peor Enemigo, premieres on August 27.
Mi Barco del Amor… follows a woman trapped in a loveless marriage who discovers that her husband still loves his ex-girlfriend, then files for divorce and revives her career as a fashion designer, while Besando al Hermano Equivocado sees a woman ending up romantically involved with the wrong brother after an unexpected mix-up. Soy la Novia de Mi Peor Enemigo follows a sassy young woman who makes a one-night mistake with her childhood nemesis, and then team ups with him annoy their exes
“Directing for DramaBox has been a deeply enriching experience,” said Barragán. “The vertical format allows for an immediate, intense connection with the audience, and the support from producer John Lozada and the entire team has been exemplary. I am grateful for the trust DramaBox placed in us and look forward to our future collaborations.”
This comes after DramaBox launched its first Colombian original, Su Amor Fue una Mentira, which was from Albereda Films and directed by Felipe Paredes.
“Colombia possesses an extraordinary pool of talent, and these productions are a testament to that,” said Marcela Kartaszewicz, Head of Comms at DramaBox. “Each show brings a distinct voice to the vertical format while delivering the intense emotion and strong character performances our audience craves. We are proud to expand our presence in the country by partnering with local creators who master this fast-paced, immersive format.”
