The premium series debuted in early December on Pickbox’s SVOD platform, Pickbox NOW, in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Bulgaria. In these markets, Pickbox also operates the linear channel Pickbox 1 and recently expanded its offering with the launch of Pickbox 2 in Croatia.

They will enjoy the drama, the suspense and the romance that pleased so many viewers worldwide already. This partnership between Pickbox and CANAL+ DISTRIBUTION marks a milestone for the footprint of Korean dramas in the Balkans as the series will be available in multiple territories and languages”, commented Camille Mury-Découflet – EMEA Distribution Manager at CANAL+ DISTRIBUTION.

“We are very pleased to bring 'The Penthouse' to Pickbox. We’ve seen a growing curiosity among our viewers for Korean storytelling, and this title felt like a natural next step - full of strong emotions, suspense, and memorable characters. Working with CANAL+ DISTRIBUTION allows us to respond to that interest and continue expanding our catalogue with globally successful titles, while opening the door to new storytelling worlds for our audience,” commented Sanja Božić Ljubičić, CEO of Pickbox.

“The Penthouse” ranked as the ninth most-watched Korean TV series by the end of its first season and climbed to eighth place by the conclusion of season two. The drama centers on the lives of wealthy families residing in an exclusive residential complex, where ambition, rivalry, and buried secrets spiral into shocking twists and mysterious murder cases.
