European distributor Global Screen, a Telepool brand, announced pre-sales for its spy drama “Davos 1917.” In detail, Global Screen has secured pre-sales to Mediaset (Italy), MTV (Hungary) and ORF (Austria). The 6x45’ series launched on December 17 on SRF Switzerland and is scheduled to debut on December 20 on ARD Germany.
Inspired by real events that occurred in the early days of the European Secret Services, “Davos 1917” boasts a stellar cast headed by Dominique Devenport, David Kross, Jeanette Hain, Max Herbrechter, Sunnyi Melles, and Stipe Erceg. In the story, the First World War is ravaging Europe. By contrast, Switzerland seems like an oasis of peace. But behind the scenes of neutral Switzerland, the secret agents of the world powers are lurking in Davos, where a young woman searches for self-determination and does everything she can to win back her daughter taken away from her at birth.
Created in German and Swiss-German with English subtitles and dubbed in French and Italian, “Davos 1917” is produced by Contrast Film, Letterbox Filmproduktion, Amalia Film, SRF, and ARD Degeto. The show is directed by Jan-Erick Mack, Anca Miruna Lăzărescu, and Christian Theede.
“We are excited to announce these significant pre-sales ahead of the official launch of ‘Davos 1917.’ The series is a wonderfully lavish and captivating drama which revolves around a strong and courageous heroine who is embroiled in a world dominated by ambiguity and power games. We are delighted to be able to offer such an inspiring drama to broadcasters and viewers around the world,” said Brianne Bonney, Head of TV Sales at Global Screen.
