In addition to Gracepoint, Grantchester, Catching Milat and Our Girl making their market debut, Shine confirmed new tape deals for Gracepoint in Spain with Telefónica and for Grantchester with Sweden’s SVT. Based on the UK hit drama of 2013, Broadchurch, which at its peak attracted over ten million viewers, Gracepoint is a Shine America production in association with Kudos and Imaginary Friends. It has been involved in worldwide distribution deals and been acquired by Foxtel (U.S.) and Global TV (Canada).
Nadine Nohr, CEO Shine International, said, “We are on a continued growth trajectory with our drama and are excited to be bringing such a wonderfully diverse slate to market. From a miniseries based on the real life horror of the notorious backpacker murders, through to the sumptuous, period drama Grantchester, these titles have incredible scale and range. But most importantly, they all share one common theme: rich, compelling storytelling at their hearts and we look forward to seeing audiences around the globe connect with them in the same way we have.”
