Red Arrow International launches a slate of International scripted drama at MIPCOM.

New dramas titles include While the Men Are Away (8 x 30’), a bold, new revisionist comedy drama series from Australia-based production company Arcadia; Those Who Stayed (6 x 30’), a heartfelt and heartwarming anthology series from FILM.UA Group in coproduction with SVT (Sweden), YLE (Finland), NRK (Norway); and Nordic drama Descendants (6 x 45’) from Polarama, Freyja Filmworks, Projects and Lunanime in coproduction with The Lumière Group. The titles will headline the company’s MIPCOM scripted slate, which will also feature the upcoming second season of hilarious comedy drama Kid Sister (S2: 5 x 30’, total episodes: 10 x 30’), produced by Greenstone TV.

Other series launching at MIPCOM include gritty crime drama Soon Comes Night (6 x 60’), produced by Ochre Moving Pictures for Netflix (Africa) and SABC, set against the unique backdrop of post-Apartheid South Africa; the inventive, dark comedy drama Miles from Nowhere (6 x 30’), created by award-winning journalist and writer Mohamed Hassan, and produced by The Gibson Group with Homegrown Pictures for Sky Originals (NZ); and uproarious and uplifting pregnancy comedy Double Parked (8 x 30’), produced by Kevin & Co for Warner Bros Discovery (New Zealand).

Rounding out the slate are short form titles from SBS (Australia) including raucous dramedy A Beginner’s Guide to Grief (6 x 12’), produced by Kojo Studios; and intriguing comedy-noir Appetite (6 x 10’), produced by Fell Swoop Productions and Photoplay, which had its world premiere at Canneseries earlier this year. The inimitable coming-of-age comedy drama from creator and star Simone Nathan (Our Flag Means Death) Kid Sister also returns for its sophomore season – set to air on TVNZ later this year.
