The broadcasters and platforms on board for the six-part series include TG4 (Ireland), RTL Voyo (Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina), BeTV (Belgium, Luxembourg), Filmin (Spain), HOT (Israel, West Bank), Bell Media (Canada), Canal+ (Netherlands) and Blue Entertainment (Switzerland, Lichtenstein).

The 1990s-set Swedish drama tells the tale of a small-time smuggler who becomes a legendary crime boss, and the police officer determined to stop him.
“What’s particularly exciting about Mafia is the breadth of international demand we’ve seen,” said Vanda Rapti, EVP of Viaplay Select & Content Distribution at Viaplay Group. “It reflects the enduring appeal of distinctive, character-driven storytelling rooted in authentic European histories and lived experiences, while still feeling universal and emotionally relatable to audiences globally.”
