MIPTV Spotlight: Sonar Entertainment

Pierce Brosnan stars in The Son, a 10×1-hour series that Sonar Entertainment is presenting for buyers.

Another company highlight is Mr. Mercedes, based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King. The series was adapted for television and executive produced by David E. Kelley (The Practice). Sonar is also bringing to MIPTV the second season of The Shannara Chronicles, which counts as executive producers Jon Favreau, Al Gough and Miles Millar. “All three of these series are at the forefront of the convergence of feature film and scripted series television, which draws buyers, audiences and critics alike,” says David Ellender, the company’s president of global distribution and co-productions. “Our series have been attracting attention because of their high production values, riveting stories and talent in front of and behind the camera.”

Coming up for Sonar is Das Boot, an eight-part sequel to the acclaimed movie and novel.
