ZDF Enterprises to Co-Produce Danish Drama Grow

ZDF Enterprises has partnered with Rocket Road Pictures and SF Studios Productions to co-produce Grow, commissioned by Denmark’s national broadcaster, TV2.

The eight-part drama series is a tale of self-discovery and morality that evolves into a suspenseful thriller, following as a young stockbroker, dissatisfied with his ordinary, apathetic life, is captivated by the murky underworld of drug dealing as he seeks out his deceased father’s past.

The drama (Danish title Alfa) stars real-life brothers, with Andreas Jessen as the stockbroker, Adam, and Sebastian Jessen playing the role of his brother Jakob. It premieres this month on TV2 PLAY and TV2 ZULU.

Written, directed and produced by the acclaimed Avaz brothers, Grow marks their first foray into television after producing critically acclaimed feature films through their production company, Rocket Road Pictures. ZDF Enterprises will retain global distribution and format rights, outside of Scandinavia, and will be launching the new series at MIPCOM 2020.

Robert Franke, VP ZDFE.drama at ZDF Enterprises, said, “Grow is an exceptional drama with many layers. It is suspenseful but also thought-provoking and the theme of inner conflict, that runs throughout the series, will resonate with audiences all over the world.”
