CANAL+ Distribution Brings Korean Thrillers to Lithuania

CANAL+ Distribution is bringing CJ ENM’s Strangers from Hell and Happiness to the LRT platform Epika in Lithuania.

Set in an apartment that is sealed off due to an infectious disease outbreak, Happiness is a survival drama centered on a subtle psychological battle and class discrimination. Strangers from Hell, available April 1, is a psychological thriller about living with mysterious, eccentric neighbors who drive everyone crazy. 

“We are delighted by this renewed partnership with LRT and are glad to explore a new genre with Epika, after the acquisitions of a medical series and a romantic comedy in the past couple of years,” said Camille Mury-Découflet, EMEA distribution manager at CANAL+ Distribution. “This shows that Korean dramas are meeting their audience in Lithuania, and we are glad that LRT keeps trusting us with them.”

“We are truly pleased to continue strengthening our collaboration with CANAL+ Distribution,” commented Karolina Drigotaitė, head of Epika. “The success of previous acquisitions has clearly demonstrated that Korean dramas resonate strongly with Lithuanian audiences, and we are excited to now expand into a new genre together. At Epika, our ambition is to bring distinctive, high-quality international storytelling to viewers who are increasingly open to diverse and compelling narratives. We look forward to building on this momentum and delivering more exceptional stories to our audience.”

“We are pleased to witness the ongoing global expansion of CJ ENM’s K-dramas, especially with these two titles that have a unique narrative,” said Sebastian Kim, head of the content distribution unit at CJ ENM. “As a global IP powerhouse, CJ ENM will constantly introduce the diversity of K-dramas to audiences worldwide, further highlighting the beauty of sympathetic storytelling that everyone can resonate with.”
