HBO Nordic Gains FME Titles

LONDON: FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) has supplied the newly launched HBO Nordic with a slew of titles, including the Lisa Kudrow comedy Web Therapy.

The sale includes the Paul Abbott drama Hit and Miss. Also included are two factual titles from Morgan Spurlock, A Day in the Life and New Brittania. HBO Nordic is a pan-regional channel launched last week in Stockholm.

Justin Hatfield, the senior VP of sales for the U.K., Eire and Scandinavia for FME, said, “The new HBO channel is a great addition to the Nordic media landscape and our shows will have great appeal to audiences in the region. From the darkly compelling Hit and Miss to the distinct comedy of Lisa Kudrow, and Morgan Spurlock’s unique approach to factual storytelling, we’re looking forward to seeing the success of these titles on HBO Nordic.”

“We are pleased to have finalized this agreement with FremantleMedia Enterprises and are looking forward to bringing these unique formats to the Nordic audience through HBO,” added Line Mykland, the executive VP of programming and operations at HBO Nordic.
