With over 125 hours of action content in its catalogue, London producer and distributor, Power, continues to find success with its high-adrenaline TV movies, series and mini series and has recently concluded a number of deals around the world.
Starring Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy) and Kathleen Robertson (Beverly Hills, 90210) The Fixer (2 x 2 hours) tells the story of disaster investigator Ellie (Kathleen Robertson). Suspicious of the “official answers” to an oilrig disaster, she spearheads a private investigation with a secret tipster named Carter (Eric Dane). He claims that a conspiracy of “Fixers” are behind the worst disasters in the country, all rigged to manipulate the stock market and reap billions for a select few. Preparing for their largest operation in decades, it seems the only way they can succeed is if Ellie and Carter are among the casualties. 2+2 channel will air The Fixer in Ukraine, Fox International Channels has picked up the show for Hungary and Pop TV has licensed it for Slovenia.
