Walter Presents Picks Up The Court, Farang for the U.K.

Red Arrow Studios International has inked a deal with the streaming service Walter Presents for the Icelandic legal drama The Court and Swedish thriller Farang in the U.K.

Seasons one and two of The Court will launch on All4 under the Walter Presents banner in September. Farang will premiere on Channel 4 later this year.

The deal follows the recent U.S. launch of season one of The Court on Walter Presents in May. Season two will debut in August.

Bo Stehmeier, executive VP of global sales at Red Arrow Studios International, said: “This deal with Walter Presents, the ‘go-to’ platform for outstanding foreign-language programming in the U.K., is testament to the strength of our scripted slate which features a raft of diverse, gripping and high-quality series. With demand for international dramas accelerating, we’re delighted to be making The Court and Farang more accessible to U.K. audiences.”

Walter Iuzzolino, curator at Walter Presents, said: “Icelandic and Swedish drama are stronger than they’ve ever been right now, and I’m delighted to have sealed this 20-hour deal with Red Arrow Studios International. I’m a huge fan of Case, which continues to be one of our most successful Walter Presents series, so securing the first and second series of The Court where we first get introduced to the compelling character of Logi Traustason, will be a real treat for viewers. Set in Thailand, Farang is not your typical Scandi drama but the plotline is supercharged and every bit as thrilling.”
