EspañolGenre-Busting Series from Creator and Star of Hit Drama Dumb Now Available Globally
Dori Media Hosting Screening at MIP London Feb 25th
February 05, 2025 – Dori Media Group (DMG), the studio behind such hits as Losing Alice, Lalola, Rebelde, The New Black, Ciega a Citas and Dumb, is bringing the unique new horror comedy series Soul Sucker out to the international TV marketplace, it was announced today by Nadav Palti, CEO & President of Dori Media Group.
Soul Sucker, which is set to launch on HOT (Israel) later this year, is created, written and stars Bat Hen Sabag, who was behind the award-winning Israeli series Dumb (which was recently remade in Germany as Rampensau with other local adaptions expected to launch later this year). The series is co-created and directed by Daphna Levin, who created, directed and served as Executive Producer on Euphoria and co-writer on In Treatment.
Dori Media will be hosting a premiere global screening of Soul Sucker (8 episodes) at MIP London on Tuesday, February 25, with Sabag and Levin on-hand for a moderated Q&A and meet & greet.
Soul Sucker is a family drama, a horror comedy and detective mystery all-in-one 8-episode series that has a pinch of gypsy folklore. It is a modern fairytale about witches and curses among mothers and daughters and is inspired by Sabag’s life and follows three generations of an oppressive matriarchal family (grandmother, mother and daughter). Soul Sucker deals with the emotional scars passed down by mothers, all the while maintaining a sense of humor and a very quirky tone.
“Soul Sucker is unlike any other series we’ve taken out to the international marketplace, it is a comedy, a detective mystery, a family drama and a horror series all wrapped together in a program that you simply cannot take your eyes off,” says Dori’s Palti. “Soul Sucker is created by and stars Bat Hen Sabag, whose unique vision made Dumb a breakout global hit and co-created by Daphna Levin, who created, directed and produced Euphoria. So, we’re very confident that this truly unique new series will be received in a similar fashion by audiences around the world, too.”
Earlier this year, Dori Media announced its hit unscripted format “Power Couple” has been sold and renewed in numerous global territories, including Brazil, Germany and India.
Power Couple, which was created by Abot Hameiri, continues to take the world by storm, with original versions of the unscripted relationship series now in more than 20 territories globally, with more than 60 seasons and over 900 episodes produced.
And recently at MIPCOM, Dori Media unveiled a bounty of new unscripted offerings, including dating shows Spy Date and Love at Third Sight, redefining romance by exploring love’s unexpected sparks in the later chapters of life, trivia-based game show Smart Face, talent competition Da Next, street game Intuition, reality competition Stand-Up Warrior and the shiny floor game show The Best of All.
