Producer Dominic Barlow, whose credits include “The Last Kingdom,” “Mr. Selfridge,” and “Discovery of Witches,” has teamed up with writer-executive producer Brendan Foley on “The Angolan Clan,” which will be pitched at Toledo, Spain-based TV forum Conecta Fiction & Entertainment. U.K. startup development and finance company Telnet Screen Productions, led by Chris Lowery, Martin Panchaud and Nick Street, has also boarded the pic as a private equity investor.
“The Angolan Clan” is an action-drama thriller series centered on two women in their 30s: an English widow and a Spanish Angolan housekeeper who unexpectedly inherit a Spanish villa and ownership of a clandestine diamond company from the English woman’s father-in-law, who was also the Spanish woman’s employer. Together, they delve into the mystery of their shared inheritance, unraveling its origins amidst present-day London and Spain. The narrative weaves through the upheavals of Portugal’s Carnation Revolution in the 1970s and Angola’s tumultuous civil war in the 1980s, unveiling deep secrets buried in the past.
