International distributor Eccho Rights have concluded deals with three Nordic public broadcasters for Australian drama series “Love Child”. A hit for four seasons on Australia’s Channel Nine, the company has now secured deals for the series to air on Sweden’s SVT, NRK in Norway and YLE in Finland.
Part of a representation deal that Eccho sealed with Sony Pictures Television towards the end of 2020, “Love Child” is a moving drama based on the real experiences of a young, unmarried, pregnant women living in a boarding house in 1960s Sydney, who were forcefully separated from their children at birth. The show was produced by Playmaker Media for Sony Pictures Television.
“‘Love Child’ is such a warm, yet heartbreaking series, it really captures the viewer immediately, so it is no surprise we have seen such wide interest in the title since adding it to our catalogue,” said Petra Larsson, Sales Executive Western Europe and CIS at Eccho Rights.
