‘Weiss & Morales’: European Co-Production is ‘Medicine in the Crisis’ for an Industry in Recovery
Germany's ZDF and Spain's RTVE and Portocabo hosted a lively panel for their upcoming procedural crime drama 'Weiss & Morales' at Conecta Fiction.
It has received considerable industry attention over the past several weeks as broadcasters ZDF and RTVE have increased their PR for the show, which could represent an evolution in how pan-European series are developed and produced at an affordable cost without sacrificing quality. Asked if the methodology behind developing and producing “Weiss & Morales” was something that could be emulated elsewhere or if it only works because there are so many Germans in the Canary Islands, Nadermann argued, “These types of co-productions are definitely repeatable in many other parts of Spain. We have produced successful series such as ‘Vidago Palace’ or two seasons of ‘Dry Water’ for networks such as RTP and TVG, accompanied by Portuguese production companies such as SPi and Hop.”
