Additionally in Europe, <em>Black Sands<\/em> will air in the U.K. on UKTV\u2019s crime channel Alibi, as the channel\u2019s first foreign-language drama. Disney+ acquired the thriller in the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and Canal+ picked up the series in Poland.<\/p>\n<p>SBS in Australia acquired the eight-part drama, and in Asia, the series will air on Japan\u2019s AXN Mystery, Chinese streaming app Pumpkin Film and Upstream Media in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>The new agreements add to previously announced presales to VRT in Belgium and Yle in Finland. VRT is also a co-production partner on the drama.<\/p>\n<p>Andri \u00d3marsson, CEO at Glassriver, commented, \u201cOur vision for Black Sands was to create not only a gripping crime thriller but also a dark romantic drama where the characters\u2019 relationships would be central to the story. All3Media International\u2019s expertise in taking content to a global audience has been invaluable throughout the production process, enabling us to translate that vision into a distinctive drama that would hold strong appeal worldwide. We\u2019re thrilled to be going back into production on a brand-new second season for Channel 2, and as <em>Black Sands<\/em> begins its international journey, we hope viewers worldwide are captivated by its rich storytelling, bold cinematic style and striking landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren Jackson, scripted content executive at All3Media International, added, \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to see such an impressive response to <em>Black Sands<\/em> across the international stage. This isn\u2019t a traditional whodunit; Glassriver has created a fresh and original crime drama that focuses in on the characters, their relationships and the realities of police work as they all become embroiled in a tense investigation. Baldvin Z\u2019s and Glassriver\u2019s honest, empathetic approach, combined with the almost other-worldly landscapes of Iceland, has resulted in a show that international audiences find deeply compelling. We saw huge potential for <em>Black Sands<\/em> from the outset and, particularly with a second season now on order, we look forward to seeing more sales as our international rollout continues.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All3Media International has signed a raft of deals for the Icelandic drama Black Sands, which has now been commissioned by Channel 2 for a second season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":17769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[314,4990],"class_list":["post-17768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-all3media-international","tag-black-sands","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
