From ‘Occupied,’ ‘Beforeigners’ Makers, Medical Drama ‘Still Breathing,’ Teaming Rubicon, NRK, New8 Pubcasters, Brought to Market by DR Sales (EXCLUSIVE)
Intense medical drama marks the latest show from Banijay’s Rubicon TV, behind Netflix’s ‘Billionaire Island,’ HBO’s ‘Beforeigners.’
Denmark’s DR Sales is bringing to market “Still Breathing,” the latest medical drama from Scandinavia, teaming “Occupied” writer Karianne Lund, “Safe House” director Erik Svensson and “Beforeigners” producer Rubicon TV. Described by DR Sales as “raw” and “gripping” and by Banijay Entertainment as “emotionally charged,” the NRK series is set at a struggling Norwegian hospital where four young doctors face the impossible moral dilemmas of a health system stretched beyond the limit. Capturing “the extraordinary pressures and quiet heroism of frontline medicine” and continuing “the Nordic tradition of sharp, socially conscious storytelling,” DR Sales said Tuesday, “Still Breathing” is a new New8 series, which means it has been acquired for their respective territories – though the scope varies slightly, noted Munk Skydsgaard – by ZDF (Germany), NPO (Netherlands), VRT (Belgium), SVT (Sweden), DR (Denmark), YLE (Finland), RÚV (Iceland), and NRK (Norway).
