MUMBAI: Television format owner and distributor Fremantlemedia
has announced that Star TV has renewed the Asia rights for
the show Falcon Beach. In India the show airs on Star
World.
The show tells the story of the lives and loves of the waterfront
beach town’s young men and women, their relationships
and romances ensuring a summer to remember. There is glamour,
tension and conflict among the wealthy summer cottagers and
the townies.
They find themselves divided when a major waterfront development
threatens to tear lives and loves apart and deprive holidaymakers
and townsfolk alike of the golden beach they have enjoyed
for decades.
The second season also sees the cast joined by a daredevil
rich girl and a young lawyer on the make, as the responsibilities
and temptations of the adult world become ever more pressing.
Amidst the intrigue and betrayal, there is a killing and a
major character must deal with what he has done.
FremantleMedia Enterprises CEO David Ellender said, “Now
a year on, the global reach of Falcon Beach continues
to grow and impress. Its high production values, talented
cast and sophisticated scripting have combined to enable us
to make it an unparalleled worldwide success in terms of drama
programming. Moving forward we hope to duplicate the success
of Falcon Beach with other key dramas within our catalogue.”
The other broadcasters who have picked up the show are Onmedia
(Korea) and VTV (Vietnam), European broadcasters RTL TVI (French
speaking Belgium), Cosmopolitan TV (Spain and Andorra –
Pay), TV Plus (Poland), Slovak TV (Slovakia), UMDB (Ukraine)
and Sigma (Cyprus). In addition, MBC, Middle East and Corporacion
TV, Venezuela join the other major markets already on board.
