Commissioned by SBS Australia and produced by Australia’s premier Indigenous production company, Blackfella Films, the show was also sold to Canada, New Zealand, Asia, and Australia.
The BBC acquired the show from Abacus Media Rights, who have international distribution rights for the series. Easy Tiger produced it for Stan Australia and the Nine Network.
The BBC has plans to stop airing CBBC and BBC Four as traditional broadcast channels, as it aims to “build a digital-first BBC,” the company’s Director-General, Tim Davie, declared.
Scheduled to debut on the channel and BBC iPlayer later this summer, the series is set in southern Sweden in the late 1980s and revolves around the real-life disappearance and subsequent murder of a 10-year-old girl.
