Cannes— Sony Pictures Television (SPT) announced it has sold the hotly anticipated new drama The Art of More into 25 territories. The announcement follows the series’ world premiere at MIPCOM in Cannes on Sunday night.
The new 10-episode drama, which debuts in the U.S. on digital streaming service Crackle on November 19, has been sold by SPT to Viacom’s Colors Infinity channel in India, OSN across the Middle East and D-Smart in Turkey.
The world premiere screening at MIPCOM was attended by Dennis Quaid, Kate Bosworth, Christian Cooke and Cary Elwes, who together star in the original drama.
The series follows Graham Connor (Cooke), a blue-collar young man who leverages his way into the exclusive realm of premium auction houses by exploiting connections to antiquities smuggling rings he was exposed to as a soldier in Iraq. Kate Bosworth (Still Alice) plays Roxanna Whitney, daughter of the CEO of one of two warring auction houses, whose intrigue and drama is at the heart of the series.
The series is created by Chuck Rose, who serves with Gardner Stern (NYPD Blue, Law and Order) as the series’ writer and executive producer.
