MIPTV Spotlight: TM International

TM International is offering the eight-part thriller The Name of the Rose, based on the novel by Umberto Eco that has sold millions of copies worldwide.

It is a brand that has “spawned a runaway successful film, a game and video games and it is now, for the first time, being adapted for television,” says Herbert L. Kloiber, the managing director of TM International.

Also in the company’s catalog, Thanks for the Memories is a two-part romantic comedy based on the novel by best-selling author Cecelia Ahern. Kloiber says, “Thanks for the Memories is a heartwarming, delightful comedy based on the ever-popular novel by Cecelia Ahern.”

There is the procedural Hubert & Staller as well. “Now going into its eighth season, it is the unassailable access-prime-time king in Germany and is available as a format as well,” Kloiber notes. The show has “proved it can keep the perfect balance of a light procedural,” he adds.
