BERLIN — Germany’s Beta Film is driving into Young Adult scripted, acquiring international distribution rights and co-financing four high-profile fiction series, three set up at top European regional SVOD players: Germany’s Joyn and Telekom and Scandinavia’s Viaplay.Berlinale Series Market
“YA series can take traditional elements and play with them, or rework them in different formats, creating something new,” said Beta Film’s Moritz Kruedener, arguing that “we haven’t seen so many supernatural series for young adults in recent years.” The series are “about a group of young people who are given a second chance in life, or at least to break out from a rather protected and maybe boring lives of normal young audience today,” said Kruedener.
Across the board, from public broadcasters to burgeoning OTT operations, Europe’s industry recognizes the need to attract YA demographies, which have often turned their back on free-to-air TV and traditional pay TV players.
