all3media international has secured the first scripted format adaptation of the Australian comedy drama Diary of an Uber Driver, with Germany’s Joyn ordering a local version.
Diary of an Uber Driver, which is the first original series to be developed by Joyn, is being produced in Germany by the all3media production label Bon Voyage Films. Filming is set to start in Hamburg, and the series is expected to launch on Joyn in the first half of 2020.
Originally produced by Revlover Films for ABC Australia in association with all3media international and Create NSW, Diary of an Uber Driver is a character-driven comedy drama drawn from true stories, based on the blog and e-book by Ben Phillips. It launched as a scripted format earlier this year.
