LONDON: The upcoming six-part drama Press<\/em> will premiere in the U.S. on PBS Masterpiece, which has come on board as a co-producer through a deal signed by BBC Worldwide and Lookout Point.<\/p>\n

The contemporary series, written by Mike Bartlett (Doctor Foster<\/em>, Charles III<\/em>), is set in the world of newspapers, exploring its past driven by hacking scandals, its present at the mercy of the digital age and the 24-hour news cycle, its future uncertain. Deep Indigo, Lookout Point and BBC Studios are producing partners on the project, which has been developed by BAFTA award-winning producer Nigel Stafford-Clark.<\/p>\n

Stafford-Clark commented: “At a time when both the nature and the role of the press have themselves become part of the news, there’s never been a better moment to focus on this unique world as the basis of a major television series. And I can’t think of anyone better to take that on than Mike Bartlett.”<\/p>\n

Faith Penhale, executive producer at Lookout Point, added, \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be working with Mike and Nigel on a series with so much contemporary resonance and relevance.\u00a0And given the importance of this drama, it\u2019s exciting to know that this tie-up with PBS Masterpiece will offer significant exposure to audiences in North America on a network with an unparalleled track record in taking great British scripted content across the Atlantic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
