Spain’s Mediacrest Entertainment and Playtime Movies have teamed up with Brazil’s Mixer Films to co-produce a thrilling new bio-series titled “Época 10: Ronaldinho,” showcasing the legendary soccer player’s incredible journey. As excitement builds for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, this series is set to captivate audiences worldwide.
Ronaldinho, a two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, is known for his remarkable achievements in the world of soccer. From winning prestigious titles like the Copa América, the Ballon d’Or, the UEFA Champions League, the FIFA Confederations Cup, and the Copa Libertadores, his career has been nothing short of extraordinary.
The series delves into Ronaldinho’s life story, chronicling his rise to fame alongside his brother-manager Roberto de Assis. From their humble beginnings in Porto Alegre, Brazil, to their legal troubles in Paraguay, the show explores the highs and lows of their journey. Set in iconic cities like Paris, Barcelona, and Milan, it offers a glimpse into Ronaldinho’s personal and professional triumphs and setbacks, highlighting the unique bond between the two brothers.
The relationship between Ronaldinho and Roberto is a central theme of the series. With Roberto stepping into a fatherly role after the loss of their father and his own soccer career cut short by injury, their dynamic is complex and layered. Jealousy and admiration intertwine, mirroring the relationship between Salieri and Mozart in the acclaimed film “Amadeus.”
The creators of “Época 10: Ronaldinho” are excited about the international appeal of the project. Ronaldinho’s global popularity and ability to resonate with diverse audiences make him a compelling subject for this biopic. The series aims to showcase how sports can transform individuals, teams, and even nations, making it a timely and relevant story for viewers worldwide.
With the pilot script and series bible finalized, the team is now focusing on securing financing and international distribution. The series will feature dialogue in English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, reflecting the diverse settings and characters involved.
Renowned Brazilian writer Camila Raffanti, known for her work on the hit series “The Business,” will collaborate with Spanish writer Carlos Franco to bring Ronaldinho’s story to life. The series promises to be a riveting blend of drama, sports, and personal growth, capturing the essence of Ronaldinho’s remarkable journey.
“Época 10: Ronaldinho” is not just a soccer series—it’s a tribute to a man who defied the odds and left a lasting impact on the world of sports. With a talented team of writers and filmmakers at the helm, this series is poised to become a must-watch for fans of soccer and compelling storytelling alike. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project from Mediacrest Entertainment, Playtime Movies, and Mixer Films.
