Adi Hasak is the creator of NBC’s Jennifer Lopez drama series Shades of Blue, Eyewitnesses for USA Network and upcoming 1972 Munich Olympics massacre drama Margeaux for Nordic streamer Viaplay.

Over the past decade Hasak has increasingly focused on working outside the US. He told Michael Pickard about his latest project, The Box, a single-location drama starring Anna Friel, also for Viaplay, and why he believes the US has lost its place on the global TV stage amid spiralling production costs and out-of-control corporatisation.

Restrictions around the world are shifting rapidly as national and local governments adopt their own strategies for tackling the resurgent Covid-19 pandemic.

From Friday, in the UK, Wales will take its own measures with a two-week ‘firebreak’ lockdown in a bid to reduce the spread. Llinos Griffin-Williams, head of international for Cardiff-based indie Wildflame, spoke to Clive Whittingham prior to these latest developments about how the company has adapted to the crisis and the challenges of building an overseas coproduction strategy at this time.
