Movistar Plus+ (Spain), YLE (Finland), DR (Denmark), SVT (Sweden) and RTV (Slovenia) are among the first broadcasters to acquire "Trespasses", alongside Hellenic Telecommunications (Greece) and HOT (Israel).
SBS in Australia has secured broadcast rights and Dazzler Media has acquired DVD rights for the UK and Eire. Streaming platform Freedom Media in Kazakhstan has also signed the drama, adding to the 110 hours of scripted content recently acquired.
Maartje Horchner, EVP Content at All3Media International commented, “We were captivated by this distinctive love story from the outset, so it’s a privilege not only to be part of Trespasses’ creation but also to now offer international audiences the opportunity to dive into Cushla and Michael’s world. The drama’s renowned cast and crew, alongside Ailbhe Keogan’s skilful adaptation and the stunningly recreated period setting, bring Louise Kennedy’s much-loved book vividly to life, immersing viewers in an unforgettable story of love, heartbreak and hope. Trespasses is already attracting strong interest from our clients, as shown by these initial deals, and its success in the UK is sure to lead to further international acquisitions.”
Starring Lola Petticrew ("Say Nothing"), Tom Cullen ("The Gold") and Emmy-winner Gillian Anderson ("Sex Education"), "Trespasses" is produced by Wildgaze Films for Channel 4. The drama is based on Louise Kennedy’s breakout debut novel. All3Media International is the global partner with funding from Northern Ireland Screen.
Amanda Posey, Director of Wildgaze Films and Executive Producer commented, “'Trespasses' has been a dream come true for Wildgaze Films - ignited by Louise’s beloved heartbreaker of a book, the fusion of a brilliant adaptation by Ailbhe, masterfully directed by Dawn, and outstanding performances from Lola, Tom and Gillian. Now audiences and critics alike are loving the series, gripped by the illicit affair, the dark humour and the unforgettable place and characters. This story of ordinary people living in extraordinary times has a universal resonance and I’m thrilled that, through All3Media International, territories across the world are already lighting up to its appeal.”
