StudioCanal, Europe’s leader in production, distribution and international sales of TV series and feature films, announces HBO Europe’s acquisition of brand new drama series ZeroZeroZero for CEE and Nordics.

Beatriz Campos, Head of International Sales STUDIOCANAL, said, “This is our first pan-regional deal with HBO Europe and we are delighted to kick off our relationship with the pre-sale of such a highly-anticipated new title.”

“We are very excited to present ZeroZeroZero on our services, allowing our audience to follow the creative team behind Gomorrah on their newest endeavor. We were drawn to the authenticity of ZeroZeroZero, in the difficult arena of global drug trafficking and with multiple story lines, and the result will no doubt be thrilling”, said Ragnhild Thorbech, SVP Acquisitions & Programming HBO Europe.

After the worldwide success of the TV series Gomorrah, Stefano Sollima returns to television with this adaptation of the acclaimed book by Gomorrah best-selling author Roberto Saviano. In addition to Stefano Sollima, the series is also directed by Pablo Trapero and Janus Metz.

The series is developed by Leonardo Fasoli, Stefano Bises, Roberto Saviano and Stefano Sollima, and is written by co-head writers Leonardo Fasoli and Mauricio Katz. Max Hurwitz, Stefano Sollima and Maddalena Ravagli round out the team of writers.

ZeroZeroZero is produced by the prestigious indie producer Cattleya for Sky, CANAL+ and Amazon and is currently in production in three continents and six countries. Shot in six languages and starring Andrea Riseborough, Dane DeHaan, Harold Torres and Gabriel Byrne, ZeroZeroZero is the story of different but equally violent and power-hungry criminals, of family dynamics and Mexican cartels, the ‘Ndrangheta (the Calabrian mafia) and corrupt businessmen fighting over control of the world’s most heavily distributed product: Cocaine.
