Polish Pickup for Dori Media Group’s Dumb

Dori Media Group has sold the Israeli crime drama Dumb to Poland’s nc+ platform, part of the Canal+ Group.

The format for the show, which is produced by Dori Media Darset, previously landed deals for remakes in Mexico, Germany and Albania. Seasons one and two of the original Israeli series are expected to premiere on Poland’s Ale kino+ later this month.

Nadav Palti, CEO of Dori Media Group, commented: “Dumb has a tremendous potential to deliver excellent ratings for Polish Canal+ Group. It is a contemporary fresh and unique urban format that can take place anywhere around the world. The crime drama has been an extraordinary hit viewed by 46 percent of HOT cable subscribers in Israel. International broadcasters are looking for a unique and outstanding TV content to meet viewers’ increasingly discerning tastes and demand cinematic quality. I have no doubt that Polish viewers will tune in to Dumb in high volumes.”

Jakub Szurmiej, the director of movie channels for the nc+ platform, commented: “Polish Canal+ Group is proud to join the international club of Dumb broadcasters. Though we have announced a strategy to create more locally produced shows in Poland, we are constantly seeking to be innovative and responsive to audience demand. I believe that Dumb will hit our audience’ tastes as it represents a great storytelling and characters the Polish can relate to. This show appears to be just in line with our approach to air unique programs based on original ideas and scripts which distinguishes Canal+ from other broadcasters”.
