Onza Distribution announces the second season of ‘Flowers over the inferno’ Sleeping Nymph and new acquisitions

Onza Distribution presents the second season of the highly anticipated series ‘Flowers Over the Inferno’ in Cannes, a TV audience success in Italy during its first season. The Spanish international distributor also announces the addition of several new documentaries for MIPCOM, including ‘Iberia and Savannah: One Wildlife’ and ‘A Woman 24/7’.

Onza Distribution keeps growing as one of the leading international distributors of audiovisual content and expands its catalog. One of the main highlights Onza Distribution will be bringing to this year’s MIPCOM is the second season of the crime thriller series ‘Flowers Over the Inferno’. This new season is an adaptation of the second book from the best-selling saga by Italian author Ilaria Tuti and delves into the complex psyche of criminologist Teresa Battaglia, who leads a team in charge of solving unsolved crimes in the darkest corners of the Friulian Alps while facing the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

The first season of ‘Flowers Over the Inferno’ was a major success in Italy, leading prime time during the premiere of its first episode. Throughout the season, the series had over 25% of share on average, with 5 million viewers. This second season promises to maintain the level of intrigue and suspense that captivated audiences. It is set to premiere on October 28, 2024, on the Italian channel Rai 1, with six new 60-minute episodes. In this new season, Teresa Battaglia’s team, along with Massimo Marini, faces the mysterious murder of a young policewoman. As the investigation progresses, they discover the crime is linked to a long-lost painting, The Sleeping Nymph, painted with the blood of an unknown woman.

Onza Distribution has also spread its premium documentary slate with the addition of several standout productions, like ‘Iberia and Savannah: One Wildlife’ (1×52’). This 4K blue-chip wildlife documentary, produced by Azor Producciones in collaboration with Onza, is set to be released in early 2025. The production invites viewers to explore the ecosystems of the Iberian Peninsula’s Dehesa and the African savannah, two geographically distant but surprisingly similar natural environments.

IBERIA Y SAVANA

This title is accompanied by the Canadian documentary series made by NU Production ‘A Woman 24/7’ (7×50’), which takes a look into one day in the lives of 21 women from 12 different countries, showcasing different and common ambitions, dreams, and challenges of women of all ages and cultures; ‘Wine Outsiders’ (5×30’), a series produced by the U.S.-based Econtent TV, that gives a unique look at the world of wine through the perspective of host and showrunner Felix M. Mendez, a former Emmy nominee; and ‘A Gipsy King’ (1×55’), a biographical documentary about André Reyes, the genius behind the iconic band Gipsy Kings.

With these new additions, Onza Distribution strengthens its catalog, blending genres as diverse as crime thrillers, social documentaries, and wildlife films, in line with the needs of all kinds of clients. These titles will be available for international distribution at MIPCOM 2024, a key market for the audiovisual sector.
