Global Screen Adds to Drama Slate

Global Screen has acquired new dramas to launch to buyers at MIPCOM, including Murder on the Inca Trail.

Produced by Westside for ARD Degeto/BR, the crime thriller Murder on the Inca Trail stars Nina Gummich (Alice, Charité) and Thomas Prenn (Die Mittagsfrau, Deutsches Haus). In the series, Chief Inspector Rita Berg faces the challenge of solving a murder on the remote Inca Trail, with no witnesses, no weapon and no evidence after Ursula Glück is killed during an alleged robbery. Her husband, Jona Kepler, claims innocence, but suspicion lingers.

Also new for MIPCOM, season two of the period anthology drama The Palace, produced by MOOVIE, Constantin Film and ZDF, once again is set at the legendary Palace in Berlin. The new season takes viewers to 1990, the year after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Global Screen is also launching a second season of Recipes for Love and Murder, starring Maria Doyle Kennedy (Outlander) and Tony Kgoroge (Invictus). Filmed in South Africa and Scotland, Recipes for Love and Murder is produced by Both Worlds Pictures in co-production with Acorn and M-Net and in association with Paradoxal.

Ulrike Schröder, co-head of international sales and acquisitions at Global Screen, commented, “We look forward to screening these entertaining titles next week in Cannes. Viewers are always seeking out strong production values and great storylines and we are sure that these three series full of glossy drama and popular varieties of crime narratives will have particular appeal to our clients around the world right now.”
