Beta Film, the German producer and distributor of TV and film, has formed Sweden-based Beta Nordic Studios (Bns), which will act as an umbrella group for the company’s production activities in Scandinavia.
The move comes in the wake of Beta taking a majority stake in Finnish film and TV production outfit Fisher King, which has credits including the crime drama series Bordertown and fantasy drama series Nymphs, both of which originated in Finland but attracted international finance and were sold to international territories. Matti Halonen and Miikko Oikkonen founded the Helsinki-based company in 2013.
Also in the Bns group is Dramacorp, the joint venture set up in 2016 by veteran Swedish-French drama executive Patrick Nebout and Beta CEO Jan Mojto, which has Swedish series Agent Hamilton coming up – the show celebrated its premiere at Mipcom this week and a second series has been given the green light for production in 2020.
