TVNZ’s Blue Murder Motel Travels for APC

With production underway on a second season, Great Southern Television’s Blue Murder Motel for TVNZ has notched up a range of deals for APC.

The series was launched to the international market earlier this year at the London TV Screenings. The eight-parter was commissioned for TVNZ1 and TVNZ+ in New Zealand.

APC has landed deals with ABC in Australia, Acorn TV for the U.S. and Canada, ITV for the U.K. & Ireland, BBC First for Benelux and Poland, and The Walt Disney Company for Star Crime in Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia.

The light-crime procedural was created by Kate McDermott and Steven Zanoški. It is made with the support of NZ On Air and the New Zealand Screen Production Rebate.

Emmanuelle Guilbart and Laurent Boissel, joint CEOs and founders of APC, commented, “There continues to be strong demand for well-written, light crime drama. Blue Murder Motel is the perfect example of a primetime series that is warm, funny, and hugely appealing to wide audiences all around the globe. We are thrilled to continue our highly successful partnership with the brilliant people at Great Southern Television.”
