Erik Barmack’s “Fusion,” Sally Wainwright’s “Riot Women” and epic fantasy “War of the Kingdoms” feature as potential highlights at the Series Mania Forum’s first Buyers Upfront, whose lineup was announced Tuesday by Series Mania founder and director general Laurence Herszberg.
Kicking off with a Beta Brunch on March 24, the Buyers Upfront also features latest series from ARD, ZDF Studios, Mediawan, Sidus, Beta Film, Slot Machine, REinvent and Bande à Part Films – making for a mouthwatering prospect.
The Upfront also underscores two trends: a move into English-language production which has larger U.S. streamer sales prospects; an increasingly attractive financing model, at least for selectively produced foreign-language shows, based on tying down partners and pre-sales among local broadcasters in Europe rather than waiting for currently highly challenging U.S. deal with a streamer.
Part of producer-distributor Erik Barmack’s drive at Wild Sheep Content into “top talent from smaller countries,” “Fusion” marks the first project to go into production from new Icelandic production powerhouse ACT4. It is co-created and written by leading Icelandic TV series producer Hörður Rúnarsson (“As Long As We Live,” “Black Sands”).Wild Sheep is backed by The Mediapro Studio.
The latest from Wainright, (“Happy Valley,” “Last Tango in Halifax,” “Gentleman Jack”), bound for BBC and Britbox in the U.S. and Canada, “Riot Woman” is produced by the U.K.’s Drama Republic (“Doctor Foster”) a Mediawan company.
Also in the mix: “War of the Kingdoms,” produced by German powerhouse Constantin, an epic medieval fantasy reimagining of heroic legend “The Song of the Nibelungs.” Weighing in at around €45 million ($47.25 million), it is the biggest budgeted German production ever.
“The Series Mania Buyers Upfront is an exclusive event for top-tier buyers, showcasing exclusive 12-minute first look screenings from ten eagerly awaited series that have strong global appeal,” said Herszberg. “From the outset, our goal with this new event has been to give unparalleled access to our buyers as well as help facilitate networking opportunities with the leading distributors behind these series,” she added.
“This new event marks the beginning of a truly new chapter in the history of Series Mania Forum. From creation to international distribution, we are further solidifying our position as the must-attend event of the spring for the scripted community.,” noted Francesco Capurro, director of the Series Mania Forum.
