GoQuest to take Rats around globe

Rats comes from Miro Šifra 

India-based sales house GoQuest Media has acquired international distribution rights to Czech crime thriller series Rats.

Produced by Heaven’s Gate, Rats (6×55’) centres on the Czech drug trade and is based on true stories. It was made in collaboration with the National Anti-Drug Centre of the Czech Republic.

The series was created and written by Miro Šifra and directed by Viktor Tauš of Heaven’s Gate and Matěj Chlupáček of Barletta Productions in association with Czech TV and MD4. It premiered in spring this year on Česká Televize.

Paula McHarg, head of Europe and North America at GoQuest Media, said: “From the first frame of Rats until its gripping conclusion, we were nothing short of transfixed.

“Globally launching such an outstanding series from a region that’s currently bubbling over with potential is truly an honour and we have no doubt that the international marketplace will respond with as much enthusiasm as we have.”
