WALTER PRESENTS SECURES ZDF ENTERPRISES DRAMA PACKAGE FOR AUSTRALIA

The global TV drama service Walter Presents has secured a package of internationally produced drama hit series from ZDF Enterprises for its activities in Australia. Walter Presents recently announced its exclusive partnership with Stan to secure international drama programming for their service in the country.

The dramas that have been hand-picked from around ZDF Enterprises’ catalogue by curator and co-founder Walter Iuzzolino include “Grow,” a fast-moving thriller about two brothers on colliding paths in life; “Standing Tall,” which follows a former policeman’s unofficial investigation into his son’s alleged suicide; “Top Dog,” which focuses primarily on the clash between Stockholm business attorney Emily Jansson and Södertälje ex-con Teddy Maksumic; “Sløborn,” which mixes coming-of-age drama with pandemic thriller to tell the story of a group of islanders confronted with a fatal virus; “Hide and Seek,” about the issue of missing children; and “Beyond Appearances,” a tale of deception. The shows are scheduled to air on Stan as first-runs and exclusive to Stan.

“We are delighted to secure an incredibly rich and varied slate of some extraordinary productions from Italian psychological thrillers to German high concept mystery. This ZDF Enterprises deal will bring to Walter Presents in Australia an unmissable treasure trove of the best television drama from around the world, exclusively available on Stan,”  said Walter Iuzzolino.

Robert Franke, VP ZDFE.drama at ZDF Enterprises, added: “We are delighted to have sealed another exciting deal with our long-standing partner Walter Presents, who continue to raise the profile of foreign language dramas globally. Walter Iuzzolino has selected some of the latest jewels in our catalogue and we are thrilled that they will soon be available to Australian connoisseurs”.
