The company’s catalogue includes Bosch, an Amazon Studios commission based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling detective novels, as well as 100 Code, a crime thriller that’s Sky Deutschland’s first international drama co-production. Indian Grove Productions’ Remedy is a medical drama following a family of overachieving medical professionals, and F24 Film’s Mata Mata is a feature-length special that offers insights into the ups and downs of the journey to reach football stardom.

Among the format titles is the comedy Safety First, a SHELTER production about four friends who attempt to run a security firm, and The Lie, a quiz show from TV Studios, STV Productions and Group M Entertainment. Other programs include Funny or Die’s Billy on the Street, from comedian Billy Eichner; Kinetic Content’s The Taste; House Rules from Seven Network Organisation; and Snowman Productions’ Married at First Sight.

Irina Ignatiew, the managing director of global scripted distribution for Red Arrow International, said: “We’re building a truly outstanding slate of international drama, with award winners Dame Judi Dench, Dustin Hoffman and Michael Nyqvist on our ever-growing cast list. Medical drama Remedy is enjoying a great run on Canada’s Global, and upcoming crime series Bosch and 100 Code are in production for Amazon Studios and Sky Deutschland. We are thrilled to present our fantastic new slate at MIP with the promise of much more to come.”
