Canada’s Crave Pre-Buys British Crime Drama Series ‘Dope Girls’
Canadian streamer Crave has acquired BBC drama 'Dope Girls', starring Julianne Nicholson ('Mare of Easttown') and Eliza Scanlen ('Sharp Objects').
The Bad Wolf-produced series was one of the buzziest at the recent LA Screenings, where a full episode was on show, and Bell Media-owned streamer Crave has now swooped to take local rights from distributor Sony Pictures Television. The show has been gestating since 2018, when Bad Wold co-founder Tranter met Stenham about a different project but was amazed when she heard about how the Soho nightclub scene had boomed in the 1920s, with 150 such clubs operating during the almost prohibition-like period. Bad Wolf adopted a U.S.-style pilot strategy on Dope Girls by finishing episode one months before the rest of the show so that could be shopped at the London and LA TV Screenings.
