All3Media International has landed a raft of presales on George Kay’s new drama Gone, including with BritBox in North America.
Produced by New Pictures in association with Kay’s Observatory Pictures, the series, premiering on ITV this spring, has also been presold to NRK and Stan.
Sky New Zealand has also licensed the series, where it will air on Three and stream on ThreeNow. A pan-territory deal brings the show to BBC First and BBC Player in Asia.
Jennifer Askin, EVP, Americas, at All3Media International, commented, “Blending psychological mystery with a claustrophobic thriller and layered character drama, George Kay’s latest series has resonated strongly with international buyers, as is evident through this impressive lineup of premium partners at the presale stage, including BritBox. With its atmospheric setting, a stellar cast led by David Morrissey and Eve Myles, and a tightly constructed cat-and-mouse narrative, Gone delivers sustained tension and broad audience appeal. We look forward to unveiling further details to buyers at our upcoming upfronts event this week.”
The fictional series is partly inspired by the book To Hunt a Killer and the real-world work of former Detective Superintendent Julie Mackay and ITV Crime Correspondent Robert Murphy. Both served as consultants on the show.
