DR Thriller Deliver Us Lands with Dynamic

Dynamic Television has linked up with MOTOR to serve as international partner on Danmarks Radio’s new drama series Deliver Us.

The deal marks the first project for MOTOR, the Danish production company led by the writer and producer team of Christian Torpe and Jesper Morthorst (Rita, Silent Heart, The Mist, Norskov, Heartstone). Dynamic will handle worldwide distribution for the thriller, which is expected to start production early next year followed by a prime-time premiere in fall 2019.

Created by Torpe and Marie Østerbye, Deliver Us follows five people in a small Danish town who join forces and plan the perfect murder of the local town psycho only to realize that once you start playing God, it’s easy to end up as the Devil.

“This is a show we have been dreaming of doing for many, many years,” said Torpe and Østerbye. “Getting a chance to do it now, with DR and Dynamic Television, is a dream come true.”

“We established MOTOR to produce films and TV series of the highest quality, and with both artistic and commercial appeal,” added Morthorst: “With Deliver Us, we get to do our dream project with one of the most acclaimed broadcasters in Europe and with Dynamic Television, who not only has a great track record distributing Nordic content, but also immediately understood and embraced our vision with Deliver Us. This is a collaboration we are incredibly excited about”.

DR’s head of drama, Christian Rank, said: “Deliver Us is an exciting and entertaining story with a strong thematic relevance told by a very talented showrunner and producer team. I believe this show holds the potential to truly stand out and make an impact on audiences.”

“This is a prestigious drama series driven by a fantastic creative and broadcast team that will reimagine the Nordic thriller genre,” said Jan Bennemann, VP of co-productions and acquisitions at Dynamic Television. “Deliver Us will bring all of the character, suspense and emotion that primetime audiences crave.”
