Kew & NENT Group Working on Spy Thriller Margeaux

Kew Media Group has partnered with Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) on the international drama series Margeaux.

Created by Adi Hasak (Shades of Blue), Margeaux is a reimagining of the Munich Olympics massacre from the point of view of an Israeli Mossad psychologist, as well as the Palestinian coordinator behind the attack. The series will be produced in multiple languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, English and German.

Margeaux is slated to begin production in fall 2019. It marks Hasak’s third straight-to-series show. Hasak will serve as showrunner and will write the entire first season. JJ Wienkers will serve as co-writer, as well as in a production capacity.

Kew Media Distribution will be selling Margeaux globally. In the Nordic region, the series will premiere exclusively on NENT Group’s Viaplay streaming service.

Carrie Stein, executive VP of global scripted TV series at Kew Media Group, said: “Adi is a one-of-a-kind talent, and it’s especially good to be working with him on a show that resonates so personally. We couldn’t be happier to be partnering with NENT Group, who like Kew, are casting a global net to find distinctive stories that are emotionally engaging.”

Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, NENT Group’s executive VP and head of content, added: “The psychological depth and dramatic scope of Margeaux demonstrate how high NENT Group is aiming with our original series. We’ve already premiered more than 20 originals and seen our shows picked up by broadcasters and streamers around the world. Now we’re joining our unique storytelling with Kew Media’s global reach and Adi Hasak’s uncompromising creative vision to create a hard-hitting and truly unforgettable series.”

Hasak commented: “A meditation on violence and terrorism, gender politics, gay rights, redemption and love, Margeaux offers a unique perspective on who we used to be and what has led to who we are today. I’m thrilled to have the enthusiastic support of NENT Group and Kew Media as my producing partners and distributors in this unique and international character-driven franchise.”
