Manchester City Soccer Superstar Erling Haaland Strikes Viaplay Deal
Manchester City’s new star signing Erling Haaland has struck a long-term partnership with Nordic streamer Viaplay and will feature in an exclusive documentary. Haaland – The Big Decision is the first show to emerge from the partnership, which will also see the Norwegian become a Viaplay ambassador in nine European countries, coming a few months after Viaplay signed a similar deal with Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen.

His father Alfie Haaland, who played in the Premier League for eight years, will join Viaplay’s Premier League broadcasts as an expert analyst, as the Nordic group pushes further into the sports rights game, most recently acquiring Premier Sports.

‘Outback Opal Hunters’ (Photo credit: Prospero Productions).
Prospero Productions has responded nimbly and creatively to the coronavirus pandemic with the Discovery commissions Outback Truckers and Outback Opal Hunters.
The Perth-based factual production house headed by Julia Redwood and Ed Punchard had almost finished filming the eighth series of Outback Truckers when travel restrictions were imposed in March.
To carry out the six shoots remaining, they had two-person crews “tag-teaming,” one following the truckers in Western Australia, the other taking over when they crossed into the Northern Territory.
“It was very difficult and we had to think outside the box,” Redwood told Screen Producers Australia CEO Matt Deaner in a webinar on Wednesday.
“Nothing stops a producer when you are in production. One trucker who was in the vulnerable group did not want the director in the cab so we Go-Pro’d him, gave him an earpiece and he virtually directed himself.
