What's Happening?
The psychological thriller series 'Gone,' created by George Kay, has been pre-sold to BritBox for distribution in the U.S. and Canada. The series, starring David Morrissey and Eve Myles, is set in an elite English private school where the headmaster's
wife mysteriously disappears. The show follows Detective Annie Cassidy as she investigates the case, leading to a tense cat-and-mouse game. 'Gone' is part of a broader international distribution strategy, with pre-sales also secured in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
Why It's Important?
The acquisition of 'Gone' by BritBox highlights the growing demand for high-quality international content in the North American market. This move reflects the increasing globalization of television content, where shows are no longer confined to their country of origin. The series' complex narrative and strong cast are expected to attract a wide audience, further establishing BritBox as a key player in the streaming industry. Additionally, the show's themes of privilege and prejudice resonate with contemporary social issues, potentially sparking discussions among viewers.
