The Stockholm- and Copenhagen-based company will focus on developing premium drama content from established and untapped voices with an international imprint.

Harms was previously MD and producer at Fremantle-backed Miso Film Sweden where she worked on Modus, 438 days and Lust, among other shows.

Line Winther Skyum Funch was exec producer and founder of Danish indie WISK and prior to that executive producer and chief creative officer at Yellow Bird. She has worked on titles including Millenium, Occupied and Thin Ice.

“In a time where content creation is rapidly evolving, everything still comes down to talent. Our focus will centre on talent partnerships. With Endeavor Content’s support and expertise, we will relentlessly pursue our goal to elevate stories that have not been told and in a way that resonates in the marketplace and with audiences around the world,” the trio said in a statement.

Innovative storytelling has no borders and this new venture will provide opportunities to create stories from a wide variety of voices in a region that has already established itself as one of the top producers of global content,” said Endeavor Content co-presidents Chris Rice and Graham Taylor.
