MIPTV Spotlight: NTV

Coming off a successful fall season, NTV is presenting Brass Sun, a war drama starring Vladimir Mashkov as an army band conductor who leads the young soldiers to a dramatic finale amidst guerrilla warfare.

Also among NTV’s highlights is the crime thriller The Crow, which centers on an investigator who is discriminated against for being a woman. Beyond Death, already proving popular with viewers as it heads into its second season, is likened to a “Russian version of The X-Files,” according to NTV General Producer Timur Weinstein. The series interweaves three separate paranormal crime stories that are investigated by a veteran detective and a young neuroscientist.

“NTV is determined to become a leader in the international drama/thriller category, and we have all it takes to bring new global audiences to our partners,” says Weinstein.

He adds: “Diversity of ideas, international appeal and great production quality put NTV programs among the most popular in Russia and position it as a serious player among international content powerhouses.”
