Walter Presents to Launch in the Nordics

Walter Presents has inked a deal with SVOD platform C More to launch across Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.

The initial launch on C More will feature an 80-hour collection encompassing eight first-run and exclusive series. This will build to 500 hours over two years through regular title launches every two weeks. Among the shows available at launch is the Italian crime thriller Thou Shalt Not Kill.

The Italian crime thriller Ice Cold Murders: Rocco Schiavone, Dutch psychological thriller The Blood Pact, Belgian political action thriller Blackout and French crime dramas Vanished by the Lake and The Other Mother will also be available at launch.

C More is the first SVOD platform in the Nordics to present a curated service with Walter Presents.

Walter Iuzzolino, curator and founder of Walter Presents, said: “This is a significant milestone for Walter Presents, and I am hugely proud to be working with a fantastic platform like C More to bring the very best of world drama to viewers in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Scandinavia has been at the forefront of the global drama revolution and made the rest of the world fall in love with premium subtitled drama. In just a handful of years, that cultural revolution has truly come full circle, and giant global audiences are now enjoying series made all over the world in record numbers. So this is the perfect time to thank Scandinavia for changing our understanding and appreciation of international television by bringing to their audiences some of the most compelling and exciting series produced across Europe and beyond.”

Karin Lindström, acting head of acquisitions at C More, commented: “We are thrilled about launching Walter Presents on our streaming platform, providing our customers with high-quality drama from all over the world. It’s the perfect complement to our Nordic C More original series. We see a growing interest in international and non-English-speaking drama, and I believe this is an opportunity for our audience to find some new favorites they might have never heard of otherwise!”

Anna Chrona, head of C More OTT, added: “We live in a world of content. The challenge for today’s users isn’t to find something to watch but to find the gems that you didn’t know you were looking for. Almost all digital services are using algorithm-driven recommendation systems to push specific titles to the user. With Walter Presents, we are the first streaming platform in the Nordics to bring a curated collection of hand-picked drama titles to our audience. It’s like having a personal shopper but for high-quality drama!”
