Flight HS13 aired in the Netherlands for a 10-episode run on NPO3, titled Vlucht HS13 and produced by Column Film.

The show is an adaptation of The End, a Turkish drama from Ay Yapim, and focuses on a woman who believes her husband has been killed in an air disaster only to find he met another woman at the airport and never boarded the plane.

Scandinavian-based distributor Eccho Rights is handling sales of the Turkish and Dutch finished tape as well as the format and has now sold the show to C4 in the UK.

Walter Presents launched in 2015 to offer foreign-language drama to UK audiences.

The service’s curator, Walter Iuzzolino, said: “Flight HS13 had me on the edge of my seat throughout. A gripping, contemporary thriller, this combines the sensibility of both The Affair and Homeland in a compelling series that will keep you guessing to the end.

“We are delighted to be doing our first deal with Eccho Rights and Column Film, and given the premium quality of this series, we hope it will be the first of many.”
