The series is set in October 2003 in Baghdad after Saddam Hussein has fallen and the city lies in the middle of the coalition\u2019s efforts to secure the region.\u00a0The story puts the Iraqis center stage.<\/p>\n<p>ARTE will air the series in French- and German-speaking territories across Europe, including France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Movistar+, which has also acquired <em>The Investigation<\/em> and <em>Salisbury Poisonings<\/em> from Fremantle in an exclusive package deal, will launch the dramas on its platform to audiences across Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcast roster for <em>Baghdad Central<\/em> includes CBC and the CBC and the CBC Gem streaming service (Canada), Globoplay (Brazil), M-Net (Africa), Canal+ (Poland), Cosmote TV (Greece), MX Player (India), AMEDIATEKA (Russia), IVI (Russia), BBC Persian (MENA), LMT (Latvia), GO (Malta) and D-Smart (Turkey).\u00a0These broadcasters join Channel 4 (U.K.), which debuted the series earlier this year, Hulu (U.S.), SBS (Australia) and StarzPlay (MENA).<\/p>\n<p>Al De Azpiazu, senior VP of sales and distribution for French-speaking Europe, Italy, Spain and Portugal, International, at Fremantle, said, \u201c<em>Baghdad Central<\/em> is an authentic and compelling crime thriller making the series a great addition to ARTE\u2019s and Movistar\u2019s lineup.\u00a0 The gripping storyline is told through a unique perspective that we don\u2019t often see on TV and bought to life by an incredible international cast. It received an impressive reception following its launch in the U.K. and U.S. on Hulu, so we\u2019ve no doubt it will make a lasting impression on ARTE\u2019s and Movistar+ audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Franco-German network ARTE and Spain\u2019s Movistar+ have licensed the crime drama Baghdad Central from Fremantle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":13225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1818,2695,2697,1774],"class_list":["post-13224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-arte","tag-baghdad-central","tag-fremantle","tag-movistar","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
