\n\t"We have enjoyed a strong partnership with DRG over the last three years and have been impressed with the results achieved so far. It makes us visible in the marketplace and represents us just the way a public service broadcaster wants—to the highest standard. So we thought why not do more of a thing that works so well for the both of us? DRG is rapidly expanding, and we are excited to be part of its journey. We wanted to be big with just one distributor, and this deal allows for that.”

\n\tJeremy Fox, the CEO at DRG, added, “We had to prove that DRG was the best fit for NRK. So, over the past three years, not only have we been selling NRK's non-scripted formats successfully, we have also demonstrated that we are longstanding partners. Now we’ve moved to the next stage of that relationship, just as the global demand for Scandinavian drama accelerates. So, stay tuned for a very exciting slate of new projects to follow. ”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
