"Captivated"
All3Media International has cloased a scripted package deal with streaming platform BritBox, for Story Films’ rating winning four-part thriller "Captivated" and darkly comic crime drama "Pren ar y Bryn/ Tree on a Hill" from the creator of hit Welsh series "Hinterland". Both dramas will be available in the US this year.
From Story Films, "Captivated" was launched earlier this year as one of Channel 5’s top ten shows from January 2023 to date. The four-part series is led by Kara Tointon and Allen Leech. It follows a young mother and her son who find themselves pulled into the orbit of a wealthy businessman who harbours a dark, disturbing secret from his past.
From Fiction Factory, the acclaimed "Tree on A Hill/ Pren ar y Bryn" is written and created by Hinterland/ Y Gwyll’s Ed Thomas. Recently launching on BBC, this Welsh language six part drama delivers a rich mix of dark humour, unique characters and a touch of the absurd, as it follows the lives of two unlikely heroes’, whose quiet existence is changed in an instant when they find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
Jennifer Askin, SVP North America at All3Media International commented “I’m thrilled our brilliant partners at BritBox are bringing 'Captivated' and 'Tree on a Hill' to audiences across the US. Both titles are from award-winning producers known for their enthralling storytelling and premium productions and I have every confidence they will offer BritBox audiences superb entertainment.”
