The deal was spearheaded by Andrea Scrosati, Fremantle’s Group COO and CEO of Continental Europe, and Guy Hameiri, Co-Founder of Abot Hameiri, the Fremantle-owned Israeli production company.
Production company Story Syndicate has partnered with Israel-based Abot Hameiri to adapt a chapter from “Rise and Kill First,” the latest book from critically-acclaimed author Ronen Bergman, into a scripted limited series.
Fremantle has increased its stake in Abot Hameiri to 100%, taking full ownership of the company. Abot Hameiri is one of the leading entertainment producers in Israel, with many of their original formats topping the local ratings and travelling globally.
