All3Media International Lines Up More Partners for The Gold

All3Media International has secured new deals for both seasons of Tannadice Pictures’ The Gold with a raft of European partners.

The crime drama is inspired by the true story of the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery and the decades-long chain of events that followed. Newly announced sales will see the drama airing in Portugal on RTP2, Ireland on RTÉ and Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina on Pickbox NOW and Pickbox TV. Season two will air on NPO in the Netherlands, COSMOTE TV in Greece and MTV in Finland.

The new European deals build on strong global presales. In North America, both seasons have been picked up by PBS’s MASTERPIECE for audiences in the U.S. and English-speaking Canada, while CBC Gem has secured VOD rights for the latter. Elsewhere, both seasons have been acquired by MagentaTV/Telekom in Germany, Stan in Australia, Rialto Channel in New Zealand, BBC Studios for Asia and India and ERR in Estonia.

Season one launched in the U.K. on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, attracting 8.7 million viewers for its first episode.

The series is from award-winning writer Neil Forsyth (Guilt, Eric, Ernie & Me) and is produced by Tannadice Pictures, part of Objective Media Group in association with All3Media International, for the BBC.

Forsyth, writer and executive producer, commented, “The response to the first series of The Gold has been incredible, and to see the show continue to spread around the world thanks to our partners at All3Media International is thrilling for all of us who worked so hard on the show. The second and final part of The Gold sees the story of the Brink’s-Mat robbery, and everything that stemmed from it, become even more expansive, surprising and international. We are delighted with the results and look forward to the second series being released around the world later this year.”
