Fast forward six years, and with a total 117 episodes of the saga under our belt, we continue to experience incredible demand from new broadcasters, platforms and others renewing numerous seasons.”

Arne Lohmann, VP Junior, ZDF Studios, said: “We are proud of our long-standing and excellent partnership with Cottonwood Media and the consistently outstanding production quality of our joint co-production projects. Working with ITV on Spellbound is a natural fit, and we are very excited that the series is now set up to capture the hearts of U.K. audiences. We are delighted to be able to help spread this enchanting saga around the world through our distribution activities.”
