BBC4 uncovers Denmark’s Money

The BBC has pre-bought a Danish drama from one of the writers behind Borgen for its arts, drama and factual channel BBC4.

Follow the Money is a copro between
DR, SVT, NRK and YLE

Follow the Money (Bedraget) is about detectives attempting to deal with financial crime and is being coproduced by DR, SVT, NRK and YLE. It has been written by Jeppe Gjervig Gram and is being produced by Anders Toft Adnersen.

The show, which is set to air on Denmark’s DR in 2016, will join Icelandic drama Trapped (10×60′) on BBC4. From Icelandic director and RVK head Baltasar Kormakur (Everest), Trapped follows the investigation of a grisly murder that occurs shortly after an international ferry arrives in a small town.

Icelandic pubcaster RUV commissioned fledgling US producer Dynamic TV to make its debut television project, alongside local prodco RVK Studios, in April last year.

Trapped has already been sold to France Télévisions, SVT in Sweden, DR1 in Denmark, NRK in Norway and YLE in Finland.
