Swiss Studios Plots Streamer Assault With Debut Slate Including Oil Town Drama ‘Black Gold’ & ‘Swiss Samurai’ Limited Series
Swiss Studios is readying a slate of streamer-friendly originals, including one set in a German oil town and a limited series about a Swiss samurai.
Deadline can reveal Swiss Studios — which comprises Elite Filmproduktion, Praesens-Film Production, Contrast Series, Bavaria Fiction and Kinescope Film — has as many as 55 projects in development, with a plan to move forwards with around 12 selected via committee. The books follow the titular detective, Valerie Lehmann, who is a strong, modern woman who for personal reasons must move to the remote Swiss mountainside fighting both crime and rejection by locals. His role is to work with Contrast Film chief Ivan Madeo, Bavaris Fiction Switzerland’s Ammon and Dominic Fistarol, Kinescope’s Matthias Greving, Praesens-Film Production’s Corinne Rossi, and Elite Filmproduktion’s Roger Kaufmann to decide on what projects should go forwards and be pitched.
