MIPCOM Spotlight: Paramount Pictures Worldwide Licensing

Josh Hartnett (Penny Dreadful) and Bridget Regan (Jane the Virgin) star in the southern gothic mystery series Paradise Lost, which is being presented by Paramount Pictures Worldwide Television Licensing and Distribution.

Based on the coming-of-age novel written by John Green, Looking for Alaska is an eight-episode limited series with nostalgic undertones.

The Great, starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, is a genre-bending anti-historical drama from The Favourite co-writer Tony McNamara. “Premium shows, with A-level talent both on- and off-screen, continue to drive our marketplace, and each of these series offers cinematic storytelling, lavish production values and incredible casts that are sure to appeal to international buyers,” says Lisa Kramer, executive VP of Paramount international TV licensing.

She adds, “Paramount is open for business!”
