Red Arrow Pacts with Amit Cohen and Ron Leshem

Award-winning Israeli writers Amit Cohen and Ron Leshem have inked a long-term content development deal with Red Arrow Studios International.

The duo wrote Ta Gordin (The Gordin Cell), which was remade in the U.S. as Allegiance. Cohen created and penned False Flag, and Leshem’s teen drama Euphoria is being remade by HBO. Together they are launching a new scripted label to create projects for the international market that will include the Red Arrow development deal. Daniel Amsel will be head of development for the new as-yet-unnamed label.

“Amit and Ron are an incredibly talented duo with an outstanding track record, and we are thrilled to join forces with them in the development of multiple projects for the international marketplace,” said Carlo Dusi, executive VP of commercial strategy for scripted at Red Arrow Studios International. “A partnership of this caliber truly underscores our ambition in the international scripted space, as we continue to solidify our position as a top-tier scripted studio with global reach.”

Cohen and Leshem added, “We share Red Arrow’s passion to create impactful, bold and compelling drama. In this era of globalization, storytelling can help build bridges, so we are thrilled and privileged to collaborate with this outstanding world-leading group, that distributes content in over 200 territories. We are looking forward to this partnership.”
