The Nanny Set for Korean Treatment

CULVER CITY: Sony Pictures Television is partnering with Korea’s Sunjin Entertainment to develop content for the local market, beginning with an adaptation of the scripted comedy The Nanny.

SPT and Sunjin Entertainment will initially focus on producing content adapted from SPT’s library. The Nanny has already been adapted in Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Greece, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Russia and Turkey.

“We see a lot of opportunities in Korea, and we hope The Nanny will be the first of many,” said Christoph Pachler, SPT’s senior VP of strategy and operations, who oversees the initiative. “The Nanny has such universal appeal, and with our proven track record in adapting U.S. series, our collaboration with Sunjin Entertainment will create a local version that the Korean audience will embrace."
