Romper Stomper Series Picked Up by SundanceTV Global

DCD Rights has inked a multi-territory deal with SundanceTV Global for the new contemporary thriller Romper Stomper, which picks up from Geoffrey Wright’s 1992 classic film.

A Stan original series, Romper Stomper is a Roadshow Rough Diamond production in association with Screen Australia and Film Victoria. The high-stakes crime drama/political thriller, told from multiple points of view, has now been acquired by SundanceTV Global for Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Dutch-speaking Benelux, Iberia, Latin America, MENA and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Also being launched at MIPCOM by DCD Rights, the second season of Striking Out has presold to SundanceTV Global for multiple territories and YLE in Finland.

Nicky Davies Williams, the CEO at DCD Rights, commented, “We’re very pleased to secure these fantastic new high-end dramas for our international clients. The first season of Striking Out proved very popular and the addition of six more episodes will further build its strong potential as a key brand for international buyers, as already highlighted by these two early renewals. I’m also looking forward to showcasing the atmospheric and unflinching new contemporary series Romper Stomper. The drama promises to deliver a much more complex peeling of the political onion than the original movie, offering a startlingly new perspective from all sides, and an even-handed, fictional interpretation of issues faced by many countries in the world today, making it hugely relevant for a global audience.”
