GoQuest Media, a global independent content distributor has licensed the Polish crime drama Crusade to Walter Presents for broadcast in the UK and Ireland. This is in line with GoQuest Media’s ongoing strategy to bring the best of Central and Eastern European (CEE) dramas to an international audience. 

Produced by Telewizja Poland (TVP), Crusade (13X45’) is a suspenseful police procedural following Detective Jan ‘Manjaro’ Góra and his colleagues from the Crime and Criminal Terror Division of the Warsaw Metropolitan Police. The investigation into a series of celebrity murders quickly reveals a deeper, more intricate conspiracy involving an anti-system terrorist organization operating in Warsaw.  

Walter Presents, part of Channel 4’s streaming platform, specializes in foreign-language dramas with English subtitles. Launched in 2016, it is known for curating award-winning and popular international series, offering them to global audiences in the UK, US, and beyond​. 

GoQuest Media continues to solidify its role as a key global player in exporting CEE content to new markets, securing significant deals that place Polish and other engaging content from the region on prominent global platforms.  

Walter Presents’ Co-founder & Curator, Walter Iuzzolino commented on the deal, “I have always been a fan of Polish drama, and Crusade is a perfect addition to our substantial and ever expanding slate of the best Eastern European titles on the market: it is an intoxicating cocktail of gritty and glamorous, fast pace and twisted – a brilliant show which will keep you glued to the screen”. 

Vivek Lath, Managing Director, GoQuest Media said, “Crusade represents the latest success in our growing portfolio of internationally distributed crime dramas from the CEE. From the outset, we recognized its potential to resonate with crime genre fans worldwide. Its gripping suspense and unpredictable twists make it a standout in our catalog. We’re thrilled that Walter Presents, known for curating high-quality international content, will now feature this exceptional series.” 

GoQuest Media will present Crusade and fresh new crime dramas from their catalogue at MIPCOM later this month.
