Metronome Spartacus in Renewal for Hotel Caesar

OSLO, February 1: Metronome Spartacus has sold an additional
555 episodes of its drama series Hotel Caesar to Norwegian broadcaster TV2.

With this new renewal, Hotel Caesar, now in its tenth year, will air on TV2 for three
more years. Production on further episodes will take place from October 2008 to
October 2011, with the program to be broadcast throughout 2012. More than 2000
episodes of Hotel Caesar will
have aired on TV2 by the beginning of 2009.

Hotel Caesar is
broadcast Monday through Friday on TV2. It is one of Norway's most popular TV
series, with more than 600,000 viewers tuning in every day on TV and the
Internet. Created by Peter Emanuel Falck and Christian Wikander, the series takes
place at Hotel Caesar in Oslo, Norway, and is about the hotel's employees,
guests and the hotel owner's family.

“The secret to our success is that, together with TV2, we
have succeeded in constantly refreshing and improving the drama series, and in
attracting a broad target group that has slowly become younger," said
Lasse Hallberg, the senior VP for Metronome Film & Television.
