LOS ANGELES and S O PAULO - Oct. 29, 2019 - CBS Studios International and Globoplay announced today an exclusive SVOD licensing deal for the first-run rights in Brazil of the critically acclaimed new CBS series EVIL.

The series stars Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, Christine Lahti, Kurt Fuller, Brooklyn Shuck, Skylar Gray, Maddy Crocco and Dalya Knapp. Liz Glotzer executive produces alongside Robert and Michelle King, and the series is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with King Size Productions.

We're thrilled to welcome Globoplay as the latest licensee of this sophisticated new drama series, said Barry Chamberlain, President of Sales for CBS Studios International. EVIL's intriguing storylines coupled with its lineup of outstanding creative talent, both on- and off-screen, have created high demand around the world for this premium drama, and we're excited to bring it to Brazilian audiences.
