New Regency has partnered with Bravado Equity on prestige crime mystery drama Beyond (original title Oderbruch) and will launch the series at the London Screenings in February.

Produced by ARD Degeto / Syrreal Entertainment / CBS Studios Production with the support of German Motion Picture Fund and Polish Film Institute, in association with Bravado Equity, Beyond (8 x 50’) is directed by Adolfo J. Kolmerer (The Island, The Calendar Killer) and Christian Alvart (The Island, Free Country), and stars Karoline Schuch (Tatort, Dark Woods) and Felix Kramer (Dogs of Berlin, Dark). Produced by Siegfried Kamml, Christian Alvart and Timm Oberwelland, the series is written by Arend Remmers, Martin Behnke, Ronny Schalk and Christian Alvart.

The discovery of a mysterious mass grave in rural Germany unearths decades-old secrets and dark legends that shake the community to its core. The case of a serial murderer reunites former police officer Maggie Kring (Schuh) with detective Roland Voit (Kramer) after more than 20 years apart. Together, Maggie and Roland are forced to confront their shared past as they unravel the truth behind the death of Maggie’s brother. What they uncover reveals a sinister reality far beyond human comprehension.

Making its debut at the London Screenings, New Regency will present Beyond to invited guests on Monday February 24, and Tuesday February 25, at Soho House on Dean Street, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM.

Samantha Cameron-Mowat, SVP, Co-Head International Distribution comments “We are thrilled to announce our first European series collaboration with such esteemed and talented production partners. Beyond is a smart, suspenseful drama that we are really excited about bringing to international audiences. It’s been a huge success for ARD in Germany, one of the most watched fictional series of last year, and they are currently in production on season two. Non-English language programming, particularly premium scripted, continues to thrive across platforms and we look forward to sharing this stand-out series with our clients at the London Screenings.”

Marco Arabit, SVP, Co-Head International Distribution, adds, “New Regency has an incredibly well-established line-up of feature films and television programming, and we are delighted to now expand our acquisition plans to include European premium scripted series. Beyond, with its fresh and original storytelling, talented cast and innovative ‘look’ is a real complement to our continually growing portfolio and fits perfectly with our New Regency brand.”

Beyond’s executive producers are Christoph Pellander, Sebastian Lückel and Patrick Noel Simon for Degeto Film, Meghan Lyvers and Lindsey Martin for CBS Studios and Max Breuer, Arend Remmers, Adolfo J. Kolmerer and Nils Gustenhofen for Syrreal.
