Netflix's first original series to be filmed in Brazil, and one of the few that isn't in the English language (a number that is steadily going to increase, you'd image, as it continues to expand its outreach), 3% is based on a web series of the same name.

Starring Bianco Comparto and Joao Miguel, the series will be set in a dystopian future where a select number of people are given the chance to join the 'better side' of life, but only after undergoing a series of tests that very few people - yep, 3% - actually pass.

Although foreign language shows haven't really broken through on Netflix, the concept here is an intriguing one, and it has Cesar Charlone on board to executive produce - the man who was the cinematographer for the incredible City of God.
