Brazil’s Boutique Filmes, producer of “3%,” the first Netflix non English-language series to break out abroad, is linking to Portugal’s SPi (“Glória”) to produce “Seven Women,” a reimagining of Brazilian Letícia Wierzchowski’s novel which yielded one of the biggest hits in Brazilian TV history: Globo’s “A Casa das Sete Mulheres,” sold to over 80 countries.
Globo’s telenovela had 51 episodes; Boutique and SPi’s rolls off this huge IP but weighs in as an eight-part historical drama.
Boutique Filmes produced Netflix’s first Brazilian series, “3%,” which ran to four seasons, and notably 2020’s “Omniscient” and Netflix’s first Brazilian true crime “Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime.”
Launched in 2017 by Sptv to create international co-productions and titles for streaming services, SPi produced Portugal’s first Netflix original series “Glória,” plus “Codex 632,” with Globoplay and Rtp, and “Vanda,” with La Panda and Legendary.

TLC is one of the greatest girl groups in history. The Atlanta-based trio, made up of Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, rose to stardom during the 1990s after releasing their platinum debut single, "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg," which received a 1993 Grammy nomination for best R&b song. Following their initial success, TLC sent nine of their singles to the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart - four of which went No. 1: "Creep," "Waterfalls," "No Scrubs," and "Unpretty."
Now, more than three decades since the group first made their mark, Watkins and Thomas are looking back at their prolific careers with the release of their new Lifetime documentary, "TLC Forever," which premieres on June 3. According to the documentary's official description, "TLC Forever" will not only touch on the group's historic success but their biggest downfalls as well, including "internal fallouts,...

TLC wouldn’t be complete without Rozanda ‘Chilli’ Thomas, but there was once a time when she almost wasn’t in the equation.
In an exclusive interview with People, the soulful songstress, 52, candidly remembers the group’s formation while discussing Lifetime’s upcoming documentary on the generation-defining group, “TLC Forever”.
“I’m the momma of the group,” Chilli recounts of the Grammy-winning girl group, which also featured Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.
However, Chilli didn’t always hold a prominent position in the group, and surprisingly to some, she was almost kicked out of the group.
