Walter Presents will initially run eight shows totalling 80 hours, rising to 500 by the end of the two years with fortnightly new title launches.

Shows available to C More viewers will include Dutch psychological thriller The Blood Pact, Italian crime thrillers Thou Shalt Not Kill and Ice Cold Murders: Rocco Schiavone, French crime dramas Vanished by the Lake and The Other Mother, and Belgian political action thriller Blackout.

In the five years since its UK launch, Walter Presents has been made available in 13 countries around the world.

The service is currently in the UK on C4 and its AVoD streaming service All4, the US and Canada on the PBS Masterpiece Amazon Prime Video Channel as well as having linear slots on both PBS’ regional stations and national schedule. The service is also available in the US via Comcast’s Xfinity SVoD platform and on the Roku Channel.

The Walter Presents curated collection is also available in Australia on SVoD platform Stan, New Zealand on AVoD service TVNZ on demand, Belgium on SVoD service StreamZ, Italy on SVoD platform Discovery +, Russia on SVoD platform Start and Latin America on global distributor DMD’s streaming service Cinde.

Walter Presents founder and curator Walter Iuzzolino said: “Scandinavia has been at the forefront of the global drama revolution and made the rest of the world fall in love with premium subtitled drama. In just a handful of years, that cultural revolution has truly come full circle and giant global audiences are now enjoying series made all over the world in record numbers.

“This is the perfect time to thank Scandinavia for changing our understanding and appreciation of international television, by bringing to their audiences some of the most compelling and exciting series produced across Europe and beyond.”
