Walter Presents & PBS Tie Up

PBS Distribution has inked a deal with Walter Presents to bring more than 300 hours of international drama to the PBS Masterpiece channel on Amazon’s Prime Video Channels.

Starting on October 19, subscribers in the U.S. can access the Walter Presents collection of dramas. Among the series highlights are Norskov, a modern Scandinavian western; 13 Commandments, in which a self-proclaimed modern-day Moses is committing a series of gruesome crimes; and Professor T, a Belgian series about an eccentric and socially inept criminal psychology genius.

Andrea Downing, co-president of PBS Distribution, commented: “PBS Distribution has always offered the best British dramas. Expanding our Prime Video Channel to include the best of foreign-language dramas is a natural fit, giving our subscribers access to premium international series. Walter Presents will deliver hand-selected global hits to our audience.”

Walter Iuzzolino, co-founder and curator of Walter Presents, added: “I’m delighted and excited to be partnering with PBS Distribution, a company synonymous with quality drama and premium programming. The PBS Masterpiece Prime Video Channel already provides audiences with a fabulous collection of British series. Now, subscribers will have access to some truly amazing global drama series providing a chance to enjoy the very best the rest of the world has to offer.”
