Welcome to Global Breakouts, Deadline’s fortnightly strand in which we shine a spotlight on the TV shows and films making noise in their local territories. The industry is as globalized as it’s ever been, but breakout hits are appearing in pockets of the world all the time and it can be hard to keep track. So we’re going to do the hard work for you.
For this edition, we’re looking at India – but no, not Bollywood. India’s regional film industries are thriving, especially those in its Southern region. Today’s pick, The Goat Life (Aadujeevitham), is currently the third highest-grossing Malayalam language film of all time and one of the highest-grossing Indian films of the year. A gritty survival drama, The Goat Life has been banned in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman for its visceral portrayal of the immigrant experience.

Jane the Virgin will become a proud young Zulu woman in a South African remake of the romantic comedy-drama format.
The format’s rights holder, Propagate International, has licensed the rights to Alta Global Media to develop a South African version of the series, which will be shot in the local language and run to 12 episodes.
The adaptation will be targeted at Sub-Saharan African territories. It’ll be based on The CW’s version of Jane the Virgin, which ran for five seasons on the network after Ben Silverman, who is now Propagate’s Chairman and Co-CEO, acquired rights to the format from Venezuelan network Rctv International.
The U.S. show had veered from the format of the original Venezuelan telenovela Juana La Virgen, created by Perla Farías Lombardini.
South African director Mandlakayise Dube, known for most recently helming Netflix film Silverton Siege, is on board to direct the pilot.

What do Idris Elba, Lupin superstar Omar Sy and emerging French-Vietnamese writer Quoc Dang Tran have in common? Other than their obvious creative skills, they are among a growing number of stars born outside the U.S. who have signed talent deals in the last year. Deadline estimates as many as 20 first-look or multi-title deals have been struck by global streamers or LA-based studios since the beginning of 2021.
Back in May, HBO Max announced it had locked in Sy into a first-look deal to make international shows for the streamer, with the actor-producer developing and producing content out of his native France. It’s perhaps no coincidence that France was one of only two European countries that will still develop its HBO Max originals, following Warner Bros. Discovery’s decision to halt production in most of the continent.
The deal was among the clearest indicators that creative partnerships with non-u.

Exclusive: London-based Ten10 Films and Amsterdam-based Le Boxeur Films have acquired exclusive life story rights to Frits Veerman, a whistleblower who claims to have been scapegoated and silenced for reporting one of the biggest thefts of nuclear secrets in history.
In an interview in the Financial Times Magazine this weekend, Veerman will tell the story of how he worked for a British/German/Dutch uranium enrichment program in the 1970s and was a colleague and friend of the nuclear spy, Dr Aq Khan – a man the CIA called “as dangerous as Osama Bin Laden”.
When Veerman discovered that Khan was a spy, he repeatedly reported Khan to the authorities but was ignored. This allowed Khan to escape with nuclear blue-prints and centrifuge parts stolen from his Amsterdam workplace. Khan went on to help build Pakistan’s nuclear bomb with the stolen data, and then sold the technology and know-how to North Korea and Iran.
