Nordisk FilmTV Signs Output Deal with Elk Entertainment

LONDON: The Banijay Group company Nordisk FilmTV has entered into an exclusive pan-Scandinavian output deal with Elk Entertainment, the U.K. indie set up by the former heads of Friday TV, behind Minute to Win It.

Nordisk FilmTV will serve as production partner to roll out new commissions across Scandinavia. Its production units in Denmark, Norway and Finland will be pitching and producing future titles in the catalogue to broadcasters for a two-year period.

Estelle Bodén, the CEO of Elk, said, “Nordisk FilmTV has something we love: long, solid production experience from the trenches of TV production combined with great innovation, openness and creativity. Nordisk’s companies deliver top-notch programming across Scandinavia and are highly respected by all Nordic broadcasters.”

Peter Hansen, the CCO of Nordisk FilmTV, added, “Elk Entertainment is one of the most—if not the most—talented and creative format devisors in Scandinavia. We are extremely proud to enter into this agreement. Nordisk FilmTV has some of the strongest producers within all genres in the region, so the combination of the unique creativity of Elk Entertainment and Nordisk FilmTV’s production competencies is a dream match!”
