Greek Island Murder Mystery ‘The Beach’ Puts Dark Spin on Summer of Love, Proves to Be Primetime Hit
The primetime sensation set on the sun-splashed island of Crete in the summer of 1969 is being sold by Beta Film at MipTV.
“The Beach,” which is being sold by Beta Film at MipTV, begins on the shores of Crete in 1969 and follows a commune of free-loving hippies whose radical belief system sets it on a collision course with the neighboring island community, which still clings to a more traditional way of life. The cast includes Danai Michalaki (“Wild Bees”), starring as Hypatia, a London-based doctor coming back to her hometown, where she meets Harry, played by Dimitris Mothonaios (“A Day in the Life of a Teddy Bear”). Following on the success of “Maestro in Blue” — which is set to bow its second season on Netflix on May 16 — and the buzzy critical response to “Milky Way” last year in Lille, Foss Productions is not only looking to broaden its slate but expand the possibilities for the burgeoning Greek TV industry.
