New8

The partners in the collaboration will co-produce eight TV series annually from 2023. A key aspect of the collaboration is ensuring broad distribution of each other’s projects.
New8 is in many ways an expansion of an already existing trust-based Nordic collaboration. For years the Nordic public service broadcasters have exchanged their best dramas. Each broadcaster decides which of their series is the best and hence to be distributed by their Nordic neighbours. Examples of great successes are ‘Exit’ and ‘The Thin Blue Line’ who have also had a huge audience outside of the Nordics. Now other EBU broadcast members who are known for hit series in the past like «The Twelve» (VRT), ‘Red Light’ (NPO), ‘The Crash’ (NPO), ‘Kudamm 63’ and ‘The swarm»’(ZDF co-produced) join the drama pool with releases from 2024.
