NBCUniversal Brings Top Titles to London TV Screenings

On offer from NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution, The Five-Star Weekend features an ensemble cast led by Jennifer Garner, alongside Chloë Sevigny, Regina Hall, Gemma Chan, D’Arcy Carden and Timothy Olyphant, among others.

Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s book, “the series is set in an aspirational coastal retreat that creates a sense of global escapism and explores universal themes—such as friendship, loss and reinvention—that travel effortlessly across borders,” says Michael Bonner, president.

The action thriller Prisoner stars international actors Tahar Rahim and Izuka Hoyle and is executive produced by Matt Charman (Bridge of Spies). It “offers global buyers a premium fast-paced series that delivers high-octane momentum from start to finish and is designed to keep audiences glued to their screens,” Bonner says.

The character-driven comedy Dog Park follows an emotionally guarded man who meets a group of mismatched characters at a local dog park. It “offers audiences a warm look at finding your people when you least expect to, and that, sometimes, the smallest, most local spaces can tell the most universal human stories,” Bonner notes.

“We are very fortunate to showcase a dynamic slate of standout series at this year’s London TV Screenings thanks to the strength and creativity of our production partners across Universal Studio Group, Sky Studios, Universal Pictures Content Group and more,” he adds. “We’re excited to unveil an impressive lineup of new titles to our clients.”
