Armando Bó, the Oscar-winning co-writer of Birdman, has unveiled his first television slate since launching his own production company, About Entertainment, earlier this year.
The writer and filmmaker is developing two series based on well-known Argentinian stories.
About Entertainment has acquired the rights to Las Malas, the 2019 autobiographic novel by Camila Sosa Villada, and is developing Cromanon, based on true events of the tragedy that took place at the venue in Balvanera, Argentina in 2004.
Las Malas (Bad Girls) tells the story of a nineteen-year-old trans woman who moves to the big city and joins a group of trans sex workers that create a unique community.

Throughout their journey these ‘bad girls’ will take care of each other as a family.
