In this week’s International TV Newswire, Scandinavia’s NENT announces its latest Viaplay original, “Partisan,” DirecTV Go hits three new Latin American territories; “Blockbusters” will open the Edinburgh Intl. TV Festival; and Endemol Shine Poland announces theatrical for “How to Marry a Millionaire.”Swedish broadcaster Nordic Entertainment Group has ordered “Partisan,” an original five-part drama series to be produced for its SVOD platform, Viaplay.
Fares Fares, star of “The Nile Hilton Incident” and HBO’s “Chernobyl,” will headline and act as creative producer on the series, and says he’s been looking for a project in Swedish for some time.Filming has already begun, headed by director Amir Chandin and produced by Johanna Wennerberg for Warner Bros. Sweden. It’s set to premiere on the platform in 2020.
In a keynote speech at MipTV this past March, NENT CEO Anders Jensen said that he’d like to double the output of the company’s Nordic SVOD service Viaplay to 40 series releases a year. Paying 100% of a series is one way to go. But there need to be others. Producing such volume requires a far deeper pocket than most players possess, plus operators want their originals to reach international markets. To that end, NENT has also partnered with FilmNation, MGM, and Studiocanal, the latter of which sold a series package to Viaplay at MipTV while handling sales on Viaplay’s “Pro’s and Con’s” and partnering with the platform on “Shadowplay.
