MUMBAI: Fremantle International Distribution (FID) announced a
number of international sales for its latest drama offering Falcon
Beach, at the LA Screenings.
The bold, fresh one-hour drama has been acquired by M6, France and
an announcement is imminent regarding a deal recently concluded with
a terrestrial broadcaster in the UK. Broadcasters in Scandinavia are
also excited by the prospect of the new programme, with TV2, Denmark;
TV4, Sweden; TV Norge (SBS Channel), Norway; Channel 4, Finland; Nederland
3, Netherlands and IBC Iceland’s Sirkus all coming on board.
Falcon Beach, which launched at the LA Screenings ahead of
its debut on ABC Family on 5 June, is produced by Insight Productions
and Original Pictures, in conjunction with Global Television and ABC
Family USA. Described as sexy, edgy and full of energy, the stories
of Falcon Beach centre around the lives and loves of the town’s
young men and women, as they decide the paths their futures will take.
A quiet lakeside town, Falcon Beach is where locals and
summer visitors mingle and where seduction, sand and scandal are
abundant. It is a coming-of-age drama which follows a group of 20-somethings,
with their families, friends and enemies during a summer of romance,
soul-searching and conflicts at Falcon Beach.
Featuring a hot young cast of beauty and brawn, Falcon Beach
stars Steve Byers as Jason Tanner, Jennifer Kydd as Paige Bradshaw,
Devon Weigel as Tanya Shedden and Morgan Kelly as Lane Bradshaw.
FremantleMedia Enterprises CEO David Ellender said, "We are
thrilled to announce this first big raft of sales for the show,
which is sure to be a huge hit when it launches very soon on ABC
Family. Broadcasters are recognising the wide appeal of Falcon
Beach and those who are getting in early will be rewarded with
a stylish, dynamic and highly successful addition to their schedules."
