GoQuest Media has licensed a drama package to Disney+ Hotstar in India that includes the Estonian spy thriller Traitor.

Produced by multi-service provider Elisa Estonia and Estonian public broadcaster ERR, Traitor is inspired by recent spy scandals in the country. Its story begins in 2004, just before Estonia joined NATO, and follows Alfred Vint (Tambet Tuisk), who is recruited to cooperate with Russian intelligence and engages in a cat-and-mouse game with Estonian counterintelligence officer Marko Arrak (Veiko Porkanen).

Also included in the package deal are Civil Servant and Debt to the Sea, produced by the Serbian telecommunications and cable TV operator Telekom Srbija. Produced in conjunction with Film Danas, Civil Servant is a spy thriller series that follows a young, ambitious Serbian Secret Service (BIA) agent as he negotiates the rules of the international spy game in the modern world. In Debt to the Sea, produced in association with Monte Royal Pictures International, the arrival of a mysterious stranger triggers a wave of events for the inhabitants of a Montenegro coastal village.

Vivek Lath, managing director of GoQuest Media, said: “Spy dramas have enjoyed consistent success with Indian audiences on streaming platforms. Both Civil Servant and Traitor have the story, casting and production brilliance to build a new fanbase in the country. Debt to the Sea is perfect for those who enjoy psychological thrillers with myths, murders and family secrets set against a stunning seaside location like Montenegro. We are very excited that these exceptional Eastern European titles are now premiering in India and hope that Disney+ Hotstar audiences will enjoy them as much as we did.”
