COLD HAVEN FEATURED IN RTP'S NEW SEASON

On September 15, RTP presented its new programming schedule for the coming months. At the event, hosted by Catarina Furtado, Vasco Palmeirim, Gilmário Vemba, and Filomena Cautela, Portuguese fiction was given pride of place.

Among the state channel's main offerings is the SPi production COLD HAVEN. This series is the first co-production between Portugal and Iceland, combining the famous Nordic noir with influences from southern Europe. In this psychological thriller, the physical isolation of the island reflects the emotional isolation of the characters, creating an atmosphere of suspense, introspection, and moral dilemma within that community.

At the center of the COLD HAVEN plot is the character Maria, played by actress Maria João Bastos, a Portuguese woman who emigrates to the small and remote island of Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland, in search of a new life for herself and her teenage daughter Bela, played by actress Catarina Rebelo. However, six months after her arrival, Maria is found dead in the snow.

The presentation of RTP's new season was attended by Jorge Marecos, Administrator of the SPTV group, João Pedro Lopes, CEO, Pedro Lopes, General Director of Content for the SPTV Group and Executive Producer of the series, and João Maia Abreu, Executive Director of International Business and Co-productions.
