It follows a 37-year-old biologist Blanca, who takes on a job at a fertility clinic. She is forced not only to get to the bottom of the needs and risks of her clients, but her own as well. Created by Marc Crehuet and Alejandra Guimerà, it’s directed by Crehuet (“Welcome to the Family, “Greenpower”) and described as a “heartwarming, innovative and witty look at how babies are made.” Related Stories Viola Davis on Her Meme-Worthy Moment at the Actor Awards and Why She Wanted to Write Crime Fiction With Courtroom Thriller 'Judge Stone' Bruna Cusí (“Merli,” “All We Cannot See,” “Facil”) plays Blanca, increasingly confronted with ethical dilemmas that test her principles and beliefs, not the least of which being: Is it right to satisfy the desire to have children, no matter what? Popular on Variety At the clinic, her protagonist also meets Héctor: an outstanding, but all too rational embryologist whose brutal frankness often scares clients away. The clinic’s boss Andreu hopes Blanca’s empathetic nature will outweigh Héctor’s harshness. But sometimes, her idealism gets in the way of business, too. David Verdaguer (“Perfect Life,” “Away”), Diana Gomez (“Valeria,” “Money Heist”), Maria Pujalte (“Cland,” Toy Boy”) also star. “In Vitro” is produced by Moiré Films and Rodar y Rodar in co-production with Bullfrog Pictures in association with 3Cat and HBO Max Spain. The dramedy is among the ten selected series of Series Mania’s exclusive showcase “Buyers Upfront”. Beta’s line-up at the fest also includes their first K-Drama “Snow White Must Die”, Icelandic romantic drama “Everybody Loves Horses”, the French thriller series “A Guilty Affair” and the German medical movie cycle “Simply Elli”, as well as the London TV Screenings highlights “Gomorrah – The Origins”, “Maxima”, “Patience “and “Barton Vet”. “‘In Vitro’ stood out from the moment when producers Alejandra Guimerá and Marina Padró presented it to us. It’s the unique blend between great, witty storytelling, a female lead to root for from the get-go, and a subject matter of truly global import – and all of this backed by, and based on, the personal experiences of the husband-and-wife creator team,” said Peter Lohner, VP Acquisitions Hispanic & International. “From the script phase when we boarded the project to the final image, ‘In Vitro’ has delivered on its early promise. We’re honored and looking forward to bringing ‘In Vitro’ to the world.” Jump to Comments Everlast Signs With Thirty Tigers, New Single ‘Stones’ Drops Tonight ‘Select’ Quincy Jones Music, Publishing and NIL Assets Acquired by HarbourView ‘KPop Demon Hunters 2’ Confirmed by Netflix and Sony: ‘This Is Only the Beginning’ Bunnie Xo’s Memoir ‘Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic’ Gets Film Adaptation From ‘Yellowstone’ and ‘Landman’ Producer 101 Studios (EXCLUSIVE) Jada Pinkett Smith to Reprise ‘A Different World’ Role in Netflix Sequel Series Netflix Makes Cuts to Global Product Team as Part of Reorg JavaScript is required to load the comments.
