Walter Presents, part of Channel 4’s streaming platform, will broadcast the Polish drama in the UK and Ireland.
GoQuest Media, an independent global content distributor, has licensed the Polish drama Crusade to Walter Presents for broadcast in the UK and Ireland. This agreement is part of GoQuest Media’s strategy to bring the best dramas from Central and Eastern Europe to an international audience.
Produced by Telewizja Poland (TVP), Crusade (’13X45) is a crime thriller series that follows detective Jan “Manjaro” Góra and his colleagues in the Crime and Terror Division of the Warsaw Metropolitan Police. The investigation into a series of celebrity murders quickly reveals a deeper and more intricate conspiracy involving an anti-establishment terrorist organization operating in Warsaw.
Walter Presents, part of Channel 4’s streaming platform, specializes in foreign-language dramas with English subtitles. Launched in 2016, it is known for curating award-winning and popular international series, offering them to global audiences in the UK, US, and beyond.
GoQuest Media continues to cement its role as a key global player in exporting content from Central and Eastern Europe to new markets, securing major deals that place Polish and other compelling content from the region on prominent global platforms.
Walter Presents co-founder and curator Walter Iuzzolino commented on the deal: “I’ve always been a fan of Polish drama, and Crusade is a perfect addition to our substantial and growing list of the best Eastern European titles on the market: it’s a heady cocktail of grit and glamour, fast-paced and twisted – a brilliant show that will keep you glued to the screen.”
Vivek Lath, CEO of GoQuest Media, said, “Crusade represents the latest success in our growing portfolio of internationally distributed crime series from Central and Eastern Europe. From the outset, we recognized its potential to resonate with crime fans worldwide. Its gripping suspense and unpredictable twists and turns make it one of the highlights of our catalog. We are delighted that Walter Presents, known for its high-quality international content, is now presenting this exceptional series.”
GoQuest Media will present Crusade and new crime dramas from its catalog at Mipcom later this month.
