Leopard Skin begins when a criminal gang on the run from a botched jewelry heist is forced to hide out at a beachside property where two women are living in seclusion. Their world becomes a tension-filled hothouse of secrets, betrayal, and desire, all of which will bubble to the surface as the gang await their fate.
The deal was negotiated by Morris Yorn Barnes Levine Krintzman Rubenstein Kohner & Gellman on behalf of Gutierrez and by AGC Senior Vice President of Legal and Business Affairs Anant Tamirisa and Vice President of Television Matt Bankston for AGC. A3 Artists Agency represents Sebastián Gutiérrez and will jointly sell the worldwide rights with AGC.
Gutierrez, said: "These are strange times we're all going through and after spending months in lockdown watching all the content from streamers that I've been missing, I feel like the public is ready for long narratives to get bolder, more provocative and with more international appeal. I came up with Leopard Skin in that spirit and Stuart Ford, an early believer in Jett, was quick to jump into action to get the cameras rolling."
AGC Television President Lourdes Díaz added: “Sebastian came to us with an incredible script, a clear vision of how to execute an eight-episode series in the DR, and together we have put together an excellent cast. We loved this project so much that we decided to pull the trigger and fully fund Leopard Skin.”
