The major British distributors and Hollywood studios are preparing for an onslaught of international TV buyers with hundreds descending on London and Liverpool, hopefully with their wellington boots at the ready, to snap up the latest scripted gems.
eOne is focusing on two titles; Canadian procedural The Detail, starring 90210’s Shenae Grimes-Beech (left) and ABC’s Nathan Fillion-fronted “light” crime drama The Rookie.
The former Castle star will be in attendance at the event alongside Mark Gordon, who produces the show, and recently took over as President and Chief Content Officer at eOne after the company acquired the remaining 49% of his eponymous production company. Gordon is expected to give buyers a sneak peek into its development slate, which includes titles such as a television adaptation of Ruth Ware’s psychological mystery The Lying Game, as well as its forthcoming film slate, after eOne merged its TV and film sales arms.
