Brazil, Korea toe The Line

Globosat in Brazil and MBC in South Korea are among the international broadcasters to have picked up French Second World War drama The Line following its premiere in the US.

The Line

The series aired in the US last week on foreign programming specialist MHZ Networks as A French Village, translated from its original name, Un Village Français.

The channel has picked up all six seasons of the drama, totalling 72×52’, for its cablenet and subscription VoD service MHZ Choice.

Global sales are handled by 100% Distribution, which has now secured sales to Globosat, MBC and Finnish pubcaster YLE. Sweden’s SVT and Sony-owned SET in Germany have already starting airing episodes. Netflix in France has taken non-linear rights.

The drama follows life in a small village in the French mountains during the German occupation. Each series covers another year of the conflict as it intensifies.

A final season, set in 1945, is currently being worked on by the series’ producer, Tetra Media Studio, for the original broadcaster, France 3.
