MIPCOM Spotlight: Newen Distribution

Danish showrunner and writer Torleif Hoppe (The Killing, Bron) is back with a new project, DNA, which Newen Distribution is presenting for buyers.

The series follows Rolf Larsen, once a respected criminal investigator with the CPH Police who lost his daughter in a tragic accident. Though devastated from grief, he is given hope that his daughter might be alive when he learns about a system failure at the national DNA registry. “What makes DNA even more captivating for the audience is the strong characters [and] storytelling attached to the initial crime plot,” says Malika Abdellaoui, managing director of Newen Distribution, who adds, “Thriller crime series remain on the top of international buyers’ lists.”

The company is also showcasing an animated comedy for kids 4 to 8, Kikoumba, and the documentary Big Brother: A World Under Surveillance.
