MIPCOM Spotlight: DRG

CANNES: The U.K. crime drama The Level, which is being presented by DRG, centers on a young female detective who returns to her hometown with a dark secret.

“There is a strong tradition of great British crime drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and The Level does not disappoint,” says Noel Hedges, the executive VP of content and acquisitions at DRG.

Another highlight for DRG is Monster, a thriller about two very different police officers searching for a serial killer in the remote area of northernmost Norway. “This series is Nordic Noir at the very top of its game,” says Hedges.

Nobel, meanwhile, is a contemporary thriller that mixes political drama and social commentary to explore current issues such as the war in Afghanistan. “Another great Nordic drama, it has excellent writing, strong action and succeeds in bringing real scale to contemporary event television,” says Hedges.

“We are a great ‘go-to’ distributor for broadcasters looking at European drama in particular,” adds Hedges.
