James Payne’s “The Window,” which is being pitched as part of MipTV Online Plus’s Drama Buyers Summit, a digital marketplace for international broadcasters, is a drama-thriller set in the world of professional soccer.
Shooting on the series was stopped in response to the coronavirus crisis, but, having begun filming in October, eight episodes have been finished and are available as a shortened first season, with producers promising cliffhangers at the end of each episode.
“The Window” is a dramatized, behind the scenes look at an elite English soccer club and how the beautiful game can get ugly, from the top executives all the way down to its teenage stars.
BAFTA-winning director and actor Adrian Shergold (“Mad Dogs”) is lead directing, with Claudia Garde (“Tatort”) and Pieter van Hees (“Versailles”) picking up the remaining episodes. Series creator and writer James Payne (“Mr. Selfridge”) co-wrote Season 1 with Chris Gill (“The Hive...

Cannes – Germany’s Zdf Enterprises and Japan’s Fuji TV have picked their team for soccer drama “The Window.”
Mel Raido (“Deep State”), Tommy Bastow (“Agatha Raisin”), stage actor Samuel Jordan, Lynn Van Royen (“Tabula Rasa”), Jodie Tyack (“The Feed”), and Carole Weyers (“Grey’s Anatomy”) will all star in the show. It heads into production in the U.K. next week, before moving to Belgium and Malta.
Co-production is commonplace in the international drama market, but not among European and Asian partners. Having pacted, Zdf Enterprises, the commercial arm of German pubcaster Zdf, and Japanese broadcaster Fuji will share international sales duties.
The pair first worked up the idea of teaming on drama at Mipcom three years ago. They unveiled the cast and full team on the show at the 2019 edition of the TV market. Berlin-based production company Boogie Entertainment developed “The Window,” and will make it with Belgium-based Velvet Films.

As his first English-language series Marcella comes out on DVD, we spoke to Swedish screenwriter and novelist Hans Rosenfeldt about the writing process, the differences between British and Swedish television production, and the future of his hugely acclaimed home-grown crime drama, The Bridge…
What did you find most appealing about Marcella when you first heard the pitch?
Well, I was pitched the idea by Nicola Larder (Marcella’s co-creator and executive producer). We met in Italy and were talking about The Bridge, and she actually pitched me an idea about this female detective being left by her husband and bringing back an old case. I really liked that because it sounded like something I could probably work with. The opportunity to work abroad was what really attracted me,...
