The new venture will develop both original English and international dramas that may be distributed by Newen. Gub Neal, who produced shows including “The Fall”, “Cracker” and “Prime Suspect”, commented: “We will be able to collaborate with teams from Belgium, Scandinavia, France, all over, to create an alternative to the US conglomerates.”
