Omega Global Media is seeking co-pro and presale opportunities on the eight-part production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very much looking forward to collaborating with Brendan Foley on <em>Fairytale Detective<\/em>,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;He has given us a unique and exciting insight into the world of Hans Christian Andersen that is funny, surprising and incredibly moving. Hans Christian Anderson is a tragic\/comic figure, possibly on the autism spectrum, whose only emotional outlet is through his fictional characters\u2014he is his characters. Solving crimes gives him the same validation as his storytelling and a chance to understand and connect with the world around him. To explore those aspects of his life and character throughout the course of a series is incredibly exciting to me and we hope will be revelatory to an audience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the heels of the success of Sherlock and Daughter, Dougray Scott and Brendan Foley are working together again on Fairytale Detective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":23419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[11360,11361,5477,11362,11363,11364],"class_list":["post-23418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-brendan-foley","tag-danny-goldman","tag-dougray-scott","tag-hans-christian-andersen","tag-omega-global-media","tag-sherlock-and-daughter","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dougray Scott &amp; Brendan Foley Align for Fairytale Detective - 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\/dougray-scott-brendan-foley-align-for-fairytale-detective\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dougray Scott &amp; Brendan Foley Align for Fairytale Detective - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On the heels of the success of Sherlock and Daughter, Dougray Scott and Brendan Foley are working together again on Fairytale Detective.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/dougray-scott-brendan-foley-align-for-fairytale-detective\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-09-15T13:39:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-09-15T13:40:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/09\/omegaglobal-925.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/dougray-scott-brendan-foley-align-for-fairytale-detective\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/dougray-scott-brendan-foley-align-for-fairytale-detective\/\",\"name\":\"Dougray Scott & Brendan Foley Align for Fairytale Detective - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-09-15T13:39:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-09-15T13:40:26+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/dougray-scott-brendan-foley-align-for-fairytale-detective\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/dougray-scott-brendan-foley-align-for-fairytale-detective\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/dougray-scott-brendan-foley-align-for-fairytale-detective\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Dougray Scott &#038; Brendan Foley Align for Fairytale Detective\"}]},{\"@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\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
