The Swedish drama series was acquired by Channel 4 for its free streaming service, All 4, in the UK; RTL Passion in Germany; and CANAL+ in France.
International distributor Eccho Rights has closed deals with three major European broadcasters for Swedish drama series Threesome.
Channel 4, for its free streaming service, All 4, in the UK; RTL Passion in Germany; and CANAL+ in France have all picked up the Yellow Bird-produced drama, which launched earlier this year on Nordic Entertainment Group’s Viaplay.
Winning universal acclaim from critics, Threesome ranks as the highest scoring Swedish drama ever according to review aggregator kritiker.se.
Telling the story of a young Swedish couple living in London and going through fundamental changes in their once perfect relationship, Threesome stars a young international cast including Matilda Källström, Simon Lööf (Sweden), Lucien Laviscount (UK) and Blue is the Warmest Colour’s Alma Jodorowsky (France). The series is written and directed by Lisa Linnertorp.
“Threesome is a series that speaks straight to the heart. Its themes of insecurity, heartbreak, lust and jealousy are truly universal and have made it hugely appealing to international buyers,” says Lucy Roberts, Director of Sales for Western Europe at Eccho Rights.
With interest in Threesome on the international market continuing to grow, several more deals across Europe and in Asia are also in the works.
