European TV powerhouses Zdf Studios and France TV Distribution are partnering as producers on Berlin-based Boogie Entertainment’s new crime drama “Blood Red Thread.”
Set in the “glamorous and cutthroat” world of fashion, the six-part series – also described as “stylish, witty and outrageous” – will expose various challenges the industry is facing, all the while following businessmen who rule the boardroom and clash with “divas of design,” both battling for power.
Filming will take place in the U.K., France and Germany, with delivery scheduled for August 2025.
“We set out to try and describe a fashion world that felt real, that explored what fashion does in society. It holds up a mirror to our vanities and insecurities, it reflects our need for reinvention, our hope to be desirable and current,” showrunner and lead writer Timothy Prager explained to Variety.
“We seem to instinctively accept the disconnect between façade and reality when...

After The Social Network, after Blackberry, after that Spotify Netflix series, the time has come for a Kim Dotcom biopic.
The notorious hacker turned tech entrepreneur was briefly Hollywood’s enemy number one in the mid-2000s after his file-sharing platform MegaUpload became the go-to site for trading copyright-protected films, music and TV series. Things came to a head in 2012 when, at the request of U.S. authorities, New Zealand police staged a dramatic dawn raid of Kim Dotcom’s mansion, seizing more than a dozen luxury cars and a reported $175 million in cash. Since then Kim Dotcom has been fighting extradition to the U.S. to face charges of fraud.
Germany’s Zdf Studios, Boogie Entertainment and Aristosfilms have announced they are adapting David Fisher’s nonfiction best-seller “The Secret Life of Kim Dotcom: Spies, Lies and the War for the Internet” as a six-part TV series, The Kim Dotcom Story.
