It stars International Emmy Award winner Anna Friel (<em>Marcella<\/em>, <em>Broken<\/em>). <em>Butterfly<\/em> was commissioned by ITV in the U.K. and produced by RED Production Company and AENON.<\/p>\n<p>FOX Italia also picked up the first season of the German drama <em>Beck is Back<\/em>. The series follows Hannes Beck, a father of four and a househusband whose wife cheats on him. He throws her out and ends up alone with his children. Now, for the first time, Hannes needs a job. As a trained lawyer, and with the help of his quick-witted household help Jasmina, he must take on the role of duty solicitor, as well as some of the toughest cases in town. <em>Beck is Back<\/em> was produced by UFA Fiction for RTL Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Al De Azpiazu, VP of sales and distribution for Western Europe, International, Fremantle, said: \u201cWe are excited to partner with FOX Italia to showcase these two unique dramas from excellent European producers to Italian audiences. At their heart, <em>Butterfly<\/em> and <em>Beck is Back<\/em> are both emotionally gripping modern family dramas, which we hope viewers across Italy will love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alessandro Saba, VP, head of entertainment at Fox Networks Group Italy, said: \u201cThis deal represents a great opportunity to highlight Fox Networks Group Italy\u2019s editorial strategy, which shows no fear in dealing with sensitive and contemporary issues like the ones portrayed by <em>Butterfly<\/em> and <em>Beck is Back<\/em>. The deal also grants us the opportunity to strengthen the partnership we started years ago with Fremantle co-producing the Italian version of <em>Farmer Wants a Wife<\/em> and a new local scripted series, <em>Romolo+Giuly<\/em>, which is gaining both successful ratings and critical acclaim.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fremantle has inked a distribution deal with FOX Italia for two upcoming drama series: Butterfly and Beck is Back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2740,2697],"class_list":["post-10127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-fox-italia","tag-fremantle","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
