Murder Squad joins Eccho Rights lineup
Jun 19, 2017
Eccho Rights has added Czech series Murder Squad (Mordparta) to its lineup, following a deal with broadcaster Prima. A premium crime drama, following the lives both private and professional of a team of investigators in Prague, Murder Squad was a great hit when it aired last year, scoring a 17% share for Prima. A second season just finished its run in the Czech Republic.
“We are very excited to welcome this series to our catalogue,” says Barbora Susterova, Head of Eccho Rights’ Madrid Office who brought the deal to the international distributor. “Demand for quality crime drama remains high, but it is the human elements of this series make it an even more interesting proposition for buyers looking for something a little different.”
Starring some of the Czech Republic’s top actors, including Jiří Bartoška and Markéta Plánková, Murder Squad follows the work of five top detectives, each with their own methods, quirks and personal dilemmas. Together they are a brilliant police unit, but when crime doesn’t stop at work for the detectives, the squad is faced with not only hunting down killers but also protecting their families and loved ones from real danger…

Eccho Rights to represent The Trio
We are hugely excited to announce the latest title in our Western European Drama line-up: The Trio. Currently in production for SkyShowtime, the six-part romantic drama is based on the literary phenomenon Trion, by Swedish novelist Johanna Hedman. The best-selling book took the international publishing world by storm, and we are now looking forward to the television adaptation doing the same! The Trio is produced by SF Studios in association with Night Train Media, SkyShowtime, SVT and Film in Stockholm.
The series stars August Wittgenstein (The Crown), Felix Sandman (Quick Sand), Seth Manteus (Cherries) and Rebecka Harp.
The Trio is a story about love, sex and passion – a reflection of the meaning of life and the relentless passage of time.
When middle-aged Hugo is approached by the daughter of both of his childhood loves, he is thrown back twenty years in time. Hugo is about to embark on his first years at university and has moved to Stockholm to become a resident of the Stiller family. This is where he meets Thora, the daughter of the house. This is also where he meets August, Thora's constant companion and occasional lover.
This is just the beginning of a wonderful friendship, of a whirlwind love affair, of the realisation nothing will ever be the same again. This is also the reason why Hugo never truly moved on. Will he dare to reclaim everything he has lost?
