MTG, TMG lift lid on Black Box - C21

 

Scandinavia’s Modern Times Group (MTG) and Germany’s Tele München Gruppe (TMG) have acquired local rights to upcoming ABC medical drama The Black Box.

The 13-episode series is being produced by US company Bold Films, with TMG partnering for German-speaking Europe and MTG acquiring the series for Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
The show centres on a talented neuroscientist and her struggles with mental illness and is Bold Films’ first foray into TV following feature films including Drive.

Chris Philip, CEO of distributor Sierra/Engine Television, said: “As the show’s early pre-sales demonstrate, today’s international marketplace is willing to get in on the ground level on a daring new US network series with a tremendously talented group of people.”

US network ABC greenlit the new drama in June. The show is the fourth US scripted series to be handled by Sierra/Engine, which was formed in September 2012 by LA-based Sierra Affinity and Engine Entertainment.
