MUMBAI:
Television format creator and distributor Endemol has announced
that talent from the new drama series 'Low Winter Sun', a
co-production between Endemol Studios and AMC Studios, and
TV series 'Steve Harvey' will be appearing at next month's
television trade event MipTV 2013 in Cannes, France.
Hollywood
actors Mark Strong and Lennie James will be in Cannes with
showrunner Chris Mundy to represent 'Low Winter Sun', the
new crime drama premiering on AMC later this year.
A
press conference featuring all three alongside representatives
from Endemol Studios will be held on 8 April.
Steve
Harvey will be in town to represent his US syndicated daytime
series, 'Steve Harvey'. It is produced by Endemol USA and
is distributed by NBCUniversal, with Endemol Worldwide Distribution
handling outside the US. Endemol will host a 'Steve Harvey'
cocktail party for buyers and press on 8 April.
Endemol
Worldwide Distribution CEO Cathy Payne said, "We are
proud to be bringing talent of this calibre to the 50th anniversary
of MipTV for two very different shows; both created, produced
and distributed by Endemol. The drama of 'Low Winter Sun'
is defined by grit and action whilst the fabulous 'Steve Harvey'
delivers nothing but humour and entertainment."
'Low
Winter Sun' is a contemporary story of murder, deception,
revenge and corruption in a world where the line between cops
and criminals is blurred. It begins with the murder of a cop
by a fellow Detroit detective. Seemingly the perfect crime,
in reality, the murder activates forces that will forever
alter the detective's life, and pull him into the heart of
the Detroit underworld.
'Low
Winter Sun' is based on the 2006 British two-part mini-series
of the same name written by Simon Donald and produced by Tiger
Aspect Productions (an Endemol Company).
It
was recently announced that Fox International Channels acquired
the exclusive first Pay-TV window rights for the Low Winter
Sun outside of the U.S, Canada and France and will launch
in 120 countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe, the Middle
East and Africa in 2013.
'Steve
Harvey' aims to bring a funny, fresh and insightful approach
to everyday problems. Drawing from his varied life experiences,
Harvey entertains, informs and inspires, covering a vast range
of relatable topics such as marriage, dating, finance, parenting,
work place issues, friendship and the daily dramas we face
throughout our lives, all with his comedic spin.
