A world-weary detective, who also happens to be a powerful wizard, and his idealistic partner come in to investigate and find that the victim is an elven princess and the hotel is a tavern on the border of two long-warring kingdoms.<\/p>\n<p>With elven guards out for blood, a king held hostage and a range of bizarre suspects from the vampire innkeeper to the vegan ogre, the pressure is on for the wizard and his apprentice to solve the murder and avert a renewed war. The investigation will be more challenging than anything they have undertaken before, as nobody can be trusted, nothing can be taken for granted and nothing is as it seems.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dancing Daggers<\/em> is directed by Adam Kane (<em>American Gods<\/em>, <em>Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>, <em>Hannibal<\/em>) and showrun by Kim Newton (<em>Big Shot<\/em>, <em>Gotham<\/em>, <em>Blacklist<\/em>). It is executive produced by Kane; Court Five\u2019s Mark Ordesky (<em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em> trilogy, <em>The Quest<\/em>) and Jane Fleming (<em>The Quest<\/em>, <em>The Frozen Ground<\/em>); and Chukwudi Iwuji (<em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3<\/em>, <em>Peacemaker<\/em>, <em>The Split<\/em>). It reunites Ordesky with New Zealand\u2019s Oscar-winning W\u0113t\u0101 Workshop, which will provide the world-building for the new series.<\/p>\n<p>The series stars Iwuji as King Arryn and Vinnie Jones as Og the Ogre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis title could not have a higher pedigree of creative talent behind it,\u201d said Natalie Lawley, managing director of Escapade. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible to be working with this team. The Burgos Brothers have created a series that merges the ongoing successful murder-mystery genre with the fantasy world resulting in this smart, fantastical character-driven drama. We can\u2019t wait to discuss this series with our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>StoryFirst\u2019s Peter Gerwe added, \u201cWe could not be more excited to be working with this talented team on a new IP with such amazing potential. The sky is the limit with a format that is endlessly returnable and a world that will be built out with some of the strongest talent in the space.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Escapade Media has reached a new agreement with StoryFirst for a third series, the fantasy adventure Dancing Daggers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":20197,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[8575,728,8187,212,2132,8576],"class_list":["post-20196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dancing-daggers","tag-escapade-media","tag-natalie-lawley","tag-peter-gerwe","tag-storyfirst","tag-weta-workshop","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Escapade Media Lines Up Third StoryFirst Title - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/escapade-media-lines-up-third-storyfirst-title\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Escapade Media Lines Up Third StoryFirst Title - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Escapade Media has reached a new agreement with StoryFirst for a third series, the fantasy adventure Dancing Daggers.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/escapade-media-lines-up-third-storyfirst-title\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-02-21T15:41:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-02-21T16:03:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/EscapadeMedia-DancingDaggers-0224.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"393\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/escapade-media-lines-up-third-storyfirst-title\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/escapade-media-lines-up-third-storyfirst-title\/\",\"name\":\"Escapade Media Lines Up Third StoryFirst Title - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-02-21T15:41:38+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-02-21T16:03:40+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/escapade-media-lines-up-third-storyfirst-title\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/escapade-media-lines-up-third-storyfirst-title\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/escapade-media-lines-up-third-storyfirst-title\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Escapade Media Lines Up Third StoryFirst Title\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
