We’re delighted to announce that we have acquired a stake in AMANT productions, a new production company from former heads of Dutch unscripted programming at HBO Max and Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios, Sabine Feij and Jeroen Compeer. Georgette Schlick, CEO Fremantle Northern Europe: "When we heard that Sabine and Jeroen intended to start a new production company together, we immediately entered into conversation. Both have a lot of experience, a good reputation and an extensive network of both experienced and young creators. In addition, they have a keen eye for successfully reintroducing already existing format titles. With a catalog like Fremantle's, that offers tremendous prospects. Fremantle therefore sees in AMANT a partner with a complementary scope. We are greatly looking forward to this cooperation. AMANT specialises in workplace reality and human-interest productions which spotlight exciting young creative talent. AMANT previously co-produced Help Mijn Man Is Klusser with Fremantle Netherlands for RTL 4 and their upcoming productions include Welkom Bij De Familie! for KRO-NCRV, plus a new programme for RTL 5 which will be announced in Autumn. This exciting partnership will allow us to champion established formats alongside fresh creative voices. Read more ⬇

We have secured a production deal with France Télévisions for the upcoming BBC commission and 72 Films (a Fremantle company) docuseries, Zelensky (w/t). The series provides an unfiltered look at the astounding transformation of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky from comedian to one of the most recognised world leaders on the planet. The 72 Films crew combine in-depth interviews with Zelensky and his wife, First Lady Olena Zelenska, with immersive accounts from friends, family and political equals, transporting us inside a country under siege and examining the moral complexities of this defining chapter in world history. Al De Azpiazu, Senior Vice President Distribution, French Speaking Europe, Italy, Spain & Portugal at Fremantle said: “It is always a pleasure to be working with the talented teams at France Télévisions and our colleagues at 72 Films on another bold and compelling series. Featuring incredible access, each episode offers a profound insight into the personal and political journey of Zelensky from those closest to him. At Fremantle, we are dedicated to telling powerful stories and we are thrilled to share this one with audiences in France and around the world.” Fremantle holds worldwide distribution rights for the docuseries, which will premiere later in the year on 5 and France TV in France, and on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer in the UK. David Glover is executive producing for 72 Films, with Michael Waldman set to direct. 🔗 ⬇
