ZDF Studios Sells More Betty’s Call

Sony Pictures Television (SPT) has licensed seasons nine and ten of ZDF Studios’ long-running medical drama series Betty’s Call.

Betty’s Call looks at big-city hospital life from Nurse Betty’s point of view. Having previously bought the first eight seasons, SPT now has the pay-TV and VOD rights in LatAm for all 218 episodes.

Produced by ZDF Studios’ subsidiary Network Movie and commissioned by ZDF, Betty’s Call marks the first LatAm collaboration between the German distributor and SPT. ZDF Studios has previously sold the show to Austria, Switzerland, Estonia, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria and South Africa, as well as major streamers Amazon, Apple, Joyn and RTL+.

Susanne Frank, Director Drama for ZDF Studios, said: “It’s wonderful to see LatAm viewers embracing Betty’s Call, a delightful series that balances the seriousness of hospital life with uplifting humor. Sony Pictures Television is a longstanding and close partner of ours, and we are very pleased with the good cooperation. Together, we are exploring our catalog for other long-running, family-friendly dramas that will equally appeal to audiences in the region.”
