Exclusive: Keshet International is doubling down on its German business by launching a standalone scripted arm in the European country.
Keshet Germany will launch with a slate that includes another remake of False Flag, the Israeli format that was recently remade by Keshet UK as Suspicion, starring Uma Thurman and Kunal Nayaar. Also on the slate is a reboot of the Dr Mabuse crime franchise from Paradise writer Boris Kunz and a reimagining of 14th century German pirate myth Klaus Störtebeker.
The division is born out of Keshet’s Tresor TV, which launched scripted division Keshet Tresor Fiction (Ktf) five years ago. Following the adaptations of Stockholm, known locally as Unter Freunden Stirbt Man Nicht (You Don’t Die Among Friends), for Rtl+, and production of How to Dad for Ard Degeto and thriller Der Schatten for ZDFneo, it’s been decided to relaunch Ktf as a standalone business.
