Finnish Mystery Thriller ‘Icebreaker’ Wins MipDrama, the Industry Centerpiece at Cannes’ TV Market MipTV
A potential breakout, ‘Icebreaker’ genre bends classic tropes: ‘Something is lurking on this ship, we don’t know whether it’s human or not.’
That being said, crime shows and dark topics still dominated the showcase, from Caracol Studios’ “Irreversible” – exploring such diverse subjects as mental health, homophobia and motherhood alongside the investigation in a small town “full of stories” – to “Palo Alto,” produced by Artza Productions and distributed by Keshet International. Robert Franke, VP of drama at ZDF Studios, told Variety in February: “In this show, two investigators from the Institute for Paranormal Phenomena try to solve mysterious cases, whether it’s alien abduction or an attack by the creepy goat monster. Studiocanal’s action-packed, violent proposition “The Sentinels” might be answering to the very same need, showing a group of soldiers with superhuman abilities and strength – thanks to mysterious serum developed in the army laboratory that now runs through their veins – who might actually be able to end the First World War.
