Icelandic Series My Funeral Sells to ARTE

Dynamic Television has licensed the Icelandic dark comedy My Funeral to ARTE in Germany and France.

The hit series will premiere on the European culture channel, exclusively on its website, later this year. Produced by Glassriver and created by Jon Gunnar Geirdal, the 6×27-minute series tackles existential questions about facing death.

“We’re thrilled to be working with ARTE, a renowned broadcaster of high-quality cultural programming, it’s a perfect fit for the show,” said Dan March, managing partner at Dynamic. “My Funeral has had an amazing run in Iceland, and we’re excited to now be sharing this series with more audiences throughout Europe.”

Glassriver commented: “Everyone knows what ARTE stands for and we at Glassriver are proud that My Funeral will be part of their lineup in Germany and France. We feel that the universal theme of the show should hit home with the audience in the territory.”
