European Presales for The Confessions of Frannie Langton

All3Media International has presold Drama Republic’s new period drama The Confessions of Frannie Langton to Telekom/Magenta TV in Germany and NPO in the Netherlands.

Adapted by author Sara Collins from her award-winning novel, the series follows 20-year-old former slave Frannie Langton as she journeys from a Jamaican plantation to the grand mansion of George Benham and his wife. Soon after Frannie is gifted to Benham, however, she finds herself the prime suspect of a double murder.

The presales to Telekom/Magenta TV and NPO join the previously announced co-production deal with BritBox, which will cover territories in North America, Australia and South Africa. The four-part series is slated to premiere on ITVX in the U.K. in November.

Greg Brenman, co-CEO at Drama Republic, said, “All3Media International’s goal to deliver the highest quality content to client perfectly aligns with our own production goals, so we are thrilled to continue to work with this fantastic team. The Confessions of Frannie Langton is an atmospheric and riveting thriller with huge universal resonance, and we are incredibly excited to watch it captivate audiences around the world.”

This stunning adaptation of Sara Collins’s novel reflects Drama Republic’s ambition to produce exceptional high-quality scripted television—beautifully shot and led by a captivating performance from Karla-Simone Spence, Sara Collins has seamlessly adapted her novel from page to screen. It’s an edge-of-your-seat murder mystery, swooning romance and powerful character drama. With broadcasters in Europe, Australia and Asia already committed to the series ahead of its premiere, we are excited to discover more brilliant global partners and to take the series to international market.”
