The European company has joined forces with CPB Films and Leyland Films to develop a TV drama series about Josephine Baker, the first black global star performer.
Under this deal, Nova has acquired the first-run rights for several high-end Studiocanal television series on a basis for Greece and Cyprus, which serves as a demand for rights for the distribution of content on TV.
The European producer and distributor Studiocanal is increasing its current stake in the company to 100%, acquiring the remaining shares of partners Rola Bauer, Tim Halkin and Jonas Bauer.
Replacing Nicola Shindler, who will now be the company's Chief Creative Officer, the former Entertainment One UK executive will join the company and report to group CEO, Anna Marsh, starting on April, 2020.
The executive, who joined Studiocanal in 2008, is currently the Managing Director of StudioCanal UK and Executive VP of International Sales. She will report to Maxime Saada, CEO of Canal+ Group and President of Studiocanal.
