MIPCOM Spotlight: Electric Entertainment

Set in the Philippines, the Electric Entertainment title Almost Paradise centers on a DEA agent whose tropical retirement is interrupted by an international drug investigation.

“Almost Paradise is a throwback to the popular crime-investigative procedurals from the ’80s and ’90s,” says Sonia Mehandjiyska, head of international distribution at Electric Entertainment. “Based on its beautiful location and genre, it has universal appeal for the entire family.”

The Outpost follows a woman named Talon who needs to learn to control a newly discovered supernatural power to take down a religious dictator after her village is destroyed. “We continue to be creative and develop brand-new ideas for series such as Almost Paradise and The Outpost,” adds Mehandjiyska.

Electric will also be highlighting the collection of series in its Stephen J. Cannell library, which includes 21 Jump Street, The Commish and more from the award-winning writer and producer.
