Eccho Rights Sends Stone in the River to Macedonia

STOCKHOLM: Eccho Rights has signed an agreement with Macedonia’s Kanal 5 for the Hungarian thriller series Stone in the River.

Stone in the River centers on a tourist boat with 116 people on board that disappeared from a river near Chernobyl at the time of the nuclear disaster. Years later, three people end up in the same hospital and the secrets of the missing boat begin to unravel. The show, produced by Glomax Entertainment, is due to debut on Kanal 5 in early February 2016.

Ivan Mircevski, the general manager at Kanal 5, remarked: “Stone in the River fits nicely into our upcoming schedule. We were drawn to the look of the show and the high production values really shine through. This, coupled with the pace of the story line, is going to be a great draw to our viewers.”

Petra Larsson, the sales and acquisitions manager at Eccho Rights, added: “In terms of television drama, Hungary is definitely a country to watch and there are some great products coming out of the region. Glomax has produced a top class series in Stone in the River that will appeal to audiences around the world.”
