The announcement was made by BIG Media co-Founders Jon Loew, Danny Wilk, and Martin Kaše, along with ZDF Studios’ Director of Unscripted, Nikolas Huelbusch. The 2025 output deal will include multiple series, with a guaranteed minimum of 18 hours.
The co-founder of Oble details the workflow with producers that the company maintains not only as a production company but also as a distributor. The executive also highlights the key projects they featured in Unifrance Rendez Vous and they will be presenting at MIPCOM.
The company also announced a new content slate, as well as a roster of investors including personalities such as Kate Capshaw, Joe Drake, GB Media, Nick Meyer, Peter Schlessel and Steven Spielberg.
It is based on Skúli Sigurdsson’s award-winning debut novel with actor, producer, screenwriter and ACT4 co-founder Ólafur Darri Ólafsson ("The Tourist", "Severance") at the helm as showrunner and executive producer. ACT4 optioned "Big Brother" last year, seeing it’s potential for the big screen.
