Tre Vänner and ZDF Enterprises have signed a multiyear development deal on TV-projects. The agreement will include the development of high-end TV dramas with key Scandinavian talent. ZDF Enterprises will handle international sales on the slate. The projects will be targeting Scandinavian, German and international audiences and are seen as a next step in the line of coproductions such as the “Camilla Läckberg” Fjällbacka Murders series or the “Sebastian Bergman” TV films. The projects will be set across different genres, targeting international partners and markets.

Jonas Fors, CEO of Tre Vänner: ”We have been working closely with ZDF Enterprises over the years. ZDF Enterprises has been an important partner in developing the Scandinavian crime and making it an international success. The team at ZDF Enterprises has a unique sense of trends and knowledge of where the television industry is heading. Together we have the skills to create high quality TV productions for the viewers of tomorrow.”

Alexander Coridass, President and CEO of ZDF Enterprises, is equally thrilled about the agreement: “Tre Vänner’s outstanding reputation for developing projects that set new standards in its genres was very attractive to us. Their skills in developing innovative projects, their ability to identify the most interesting Scandinavian properties and the production value put on screen have built up a very strong slate of productions. We look forward to taking a number of very exciting projects international.”
