STARZ has come on board as a co-production partner on Maya, a Channel 4-commissioned thriller from Daisy Haggard and distributed by All3Media International.
STARZ takes U.S. and Canadian rights with the deal for the six-part drama starring Haggard, Bella Ramsey, and Tobias Menzies. The series is produced by Two Brothers Pictures.
“This edge-of-your-seat thriller is a perfect addition to our expanding, premium female-driven slate,” said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for STARZ. “Anchored by creator and star Daisy Haggard, alongside the magnetic Bella Ramsey, Maya delivers a compelling portrait of a mother fighting to protect her daughter, blended with wit and fierce love.”
Jennifer Askin, EVP for the Americas at All3Media International, added, “With its commitment to championing powerful, female-led narratives while delivering compelling entertainment to its audience, STARZ is the ideal home for this thriller. Daisy Haggard and Bella Ramsey lead an impressive cast and star in this powerful, emotional story. Haggard also serves as writer and director, bringing a distinctive creative vision to this powerful story. The series follows two women as they transform from victims into their own strongest protectors, creating an unforgettable and empowering experience for viewers. We are thrilled that STARZ is bringing Maya to the region and cannot wait for audiences to discover this unforgettable title.”
