The Bridge to Be Adapted for Croatia & Serbia

Endemol Shine Group has landed a deal for a Serbian/Croatian version of The Bridge, to be produced by Adrenalin Serbia for RTL Croatia and RTS Serbia.

The new treatment marks the sixth local adaptation of the award-winning series, which has so far been remade in the U.S./Mexico, U.K./France, Germany/Austria, Russia/Estonia and Malaysia/Singapore. The series begins when a dead body is found on the border connecting the two countries, forcing a detective from each territory to work together to catch a serial killer operating on both sides of the border.

Endemol Shine International will distribute outside of the commissioning territories.

Lars Blomgren, head of scripted for EMEA at Endemol Shine Group and creator of The Bridge, said: “Central and Eastern Europe is a new creative hotbed with many exciting projects coming out of the region. I believe this will be another fascinating adaptation of the story, set in a region with a very rich political history that will play to the strength of the plot and genre. I am also incredibly proud of the show which started as a local series for Sweden and Denmark and has grown into an international sensation with six adaptations in all corners of the world, making the format rollout a perfect example of what collaborating across our diverse ESG network can achieve.”
