Showcasing 20th century Tsarist Russia, the title is set to air on AXN Mystery Channel next year in Japan. The deal serves as the second of its kind between the two companies.
The award-winning series stars young transgender actor Evie Macdonald as Hannah Bradford, who is about to start her first year of high school and is scheduled to transmit it in June 2021 in Japan.
The series has been bought by NHK Enterprises and it will be aired on AXN Mystery. "Sherlock: The Russian Chronicles" is a production of Yellow, Black and White, the streamer START and Sreda.
The distributor secured the deals in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong. CREO Contents acquired “Timeline of the Century," NHK Enterprises bought “Who Was the Real Neanderthal?” and TVB Hong Kong “Lost Treasures of Egypt."
NHK Enterprises has acquired rights to NTV’s period drama "Noble Detective" and the channel AXN Mystery is set to air the series in February 2021. Moreover, Trans World Associates has bought VOD rights to NTV’s hit thriller "Schubert".
