Sky x Canal+
Sky has announced a partnership with French broadcaster Canal+ that will see the pair collaborate together on English-language dramas.
Under the agreement, Sky and Canal+ will co-finance a minimum of two projects per year for an initial period of three years, producing content that is “developed in the UK and designed to travel internationally”.
Dana Strong, group CEO at Sky, said: “We are excited to build on our strong working relationship with CANAL+ to create this partnership. Sky and CANAL+ share a strong track record in creating premium drama, and through this collaboration we will bring our creative ambition and expertise together at scale.”
Canal+ counterpart Maxime Saada added: “Sky and CANAL+ share the same storytelling DNA and drive to develop globally successful content and IP. Our previous co-productions, like The Young Pope and Zero Zero Zero, are great examples of what we can do together through this complementary and ambitious new partnership.”
The pair have resolved to develop the first slate of shows over the coming months.
