Sky and CANAL+ are teaming up to develop a minimum of two premium English‑language dramas per year.
Running for an initial commitment of three-years, the tie-up will see each of the broadcasters co-financing UK‑led stories with “international resonance” while also providing “a stage for both established and emerging talent”.
Sky CEO Dana Strong CBE, said: “We are excited to build on our strong working relationship with CANAL+ to create this partnership.
“Sky and CANAL+ share a strong track record in creating premium drama, and through this collaboration we will bring our creative ambition and expertise together at scale.”
Maxime Saada, CEO at CANAL+, said: “Sky and CANAL+ share the same storytelling DNA and drive to develop globally successful content and IP.
“Our previous co-productions, like The Young Pope and Zero Zero Zero, are great examples of what we can do together through this complementary and ambitious new partnership.”
