Globo’s ‘Blood Red’ Heads to BBC Three and iPlayer

Brazilian media company Globo has sold its supernatural teen series Blood Red – Under the Moonlight to the BBC, giving the fantasy drama a new home on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.

The deal brings a Brazilian young-adult story built around werewolves, vampires and romance to British viewers. Variety reported the sale as Globo presented its international slate at Mipcom, while Globo’s own distribution page supplies the series’ premise and setting.

A fantasy triangle with a Brazilian setting

Blood Red takes place in the fictional city of Guarambá, described as a sanctuary for the maned wolf. Its central characters include Luna, a wolf-girl, and Flora, a human whose path crosses hers. Vampires Michel and Celina watch over the unfolding relationships as the characters confront personal conflicts and discover what connects and separates them.

That mixture places the series in familiar supernatural-romance territory, but the Brazilian landscape and maned-wolf mythology give it a distinct identity. Rather than importing a U.S. or European franchise, the BBC deal opens a route for a Portuguese-language Globo production to reach a broader streaming audience.

Globo expands the show’s international reach

The sale is also a notable distribution step for Globoplay, Globo’s streaming service and the show’s original platform. International buyers have increasingly looked to local-language dramas with recognizable genre hooks, and a teen love triangle involving supernatural factions is easy to communicate across markets.

Globo and the BBC have not yet announced a British launch date in the material reviewed for this story. They also have not detailed whether the series will arrive with dubbing, subtitles or both. Those presentation choices will shape how the show is introduced to BBC audiences.

For now, the confirmed development is the platform destination: Blood Red – Under the Moonlight is headed to BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. Scheduling and localization details remain the next pieces to watch as the broadcaster prepares the series for its U.K. debut.
