CANNES: TV 2 Norway has teamed up with three of the biggest record labels in search of the country\u2019s most popular new artist in The Stream<\/em>, which Nordic World is licensing as a format.<\/p>\n The show follows the process of how new talent is discovered in the music business today, through a combination of streaming music and live performances. \u201cIt is really a fresh angle, version 2.0 in many ways, of the classic talent genre,\u201d says Ann Christin Siljan, Nordic World\u2019s VP of acquisitions.<\/p>\n The company also has in its formats catalogue the makeover show Sexy in 60 Minutes<\/em> and the factual-entertainment series The Homeless Experience<\/em>. Siljan believes that the \u201cfresh honesty\u201d of The Homeless Experience<\/em>, combined with \u201ca surprisingly warm feeling,\u201d offers something new for the audience.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are looking for fresh formats that bring something new to a genre and, most importantly, that correspond with the ever-changing trends in the modern media landscape,\u201d says Siljan.<\/p>\n The drama Seaside Hotel<\/em>, which Nordic World is promoting at MIPTV, tells the tale of a small Danish hotel in the early 1930s and the tangled lives of its clientele and staff. \u201cWe call Seaside Hotel<\/em> Denmark\u2019s answer to Downton Abbey<\/em>, in that it opens a window on a deliciously decadent time: the years between 1928 to 1933,\u201d says Espen Huseby, the CEO of Nordic World.<\/p>\n Another company highlight is Maniac<\/em>, produced by Rubicon for TV 2 Norway. \u201cIt\u2019s a truly original drama that explores the line between fantasy and reality from the perspective of a man with severe mental-health issues,\u201d explains Huseby.<\/p>\n Nordic World is also bringing the first two seasons of Next Summer<\/em>, produced by Feelgood Scene for TVNorge in Norway, to the market. A third season will be available soon.<\/p>\n \u201cThe world\u2019s appetite for Nordic drama just keeps on growing and we believe we are perfectly positioned to meet that demand,\u201d says Huseby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CANNES: TV 2 Norway has teamed up with three of the biggest record labels in search of the country\u2019s most popular new artist in The Stream, which Nordic World is licensing as a format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[356,357,358,359,360,361],"class_list":["post-6595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-maniac","tag-next-summer","tag-nordic-world","tag-seaside-hotel","tag-sexy-in-60-minutes","tag-the-stream"],"yoast_head":"\n
