Henrik Bastin has signed a multiyear contract renewal to continue as CEO of Red Arrow Entertainment Group’s Fabrik Entertainment.

Bastin is the founder of STO-CPH, a Swedish television production company. In 2007, he sold STO-CPH to Shine and remained as CEO and creative director until 2010 before becoming partner at Fabrik Entertainment.

Fabrik is currently developing a number of U.S. projects, including the drama pilot The Deep Mad Dark for TNT, a new FX series based on the book Ancillary Justice, The Limit for AMC and Midnights for USA Network. The company is also collaborating on international co-pros with Red Arrow International, such as the upcoming thriller Embassy Down. Among Fabrik’s previous credits are The Killing (AMC), Burn Notice (USA) and American Odyssey (NBC), to name a few.

Jan Frouman, chairman and CEO of Red Arrow Entertainment Group, said: “Our partnership with Fabrik has been one of our smartest moves to date. It put us on the map in the U.S. scripted market, and has served as an amazing catalyst for our international distribution business. None of that would have been possible without Henrik. The guy is a force of nature—relentlessly fighting for the success of the business. Fabrik couldn’t be in better hands.”

Bastin added: “Red Arrow is from top to bottom filled with great people. They are not only nice and smart but also as ambitious as they come. Jan and his team have been fantastic partners, always prepared to take big bets and swings when needed. It’s an honor to be a part of it!”
