PLATFORM 7

THIS HAUNTING THRILLER IS BASED ON THE NOVEL BY LOUISE DOUGHTY (APPLE TREE YARD), with The Politician’s Husband writer Paula Milne penning the adaptation. It follows central character Lisa who, after witnessing a cataclysmic event on platform seven of a railway station, finds her own fragmented memory jogged to reveal a connection between her own life and that of the event she has just seen. The drama has been commissioned by UK broadcaster ITV for its ITVX streaming platform.

THE GLOBAL SEED VAULT, DESCRIBED AS A BACKUP HARD DRIVE OF GLOBAL NUTRITION, is central to this sixpart thriller that is being filmed in Spitsbergen in Norway, Munich in Germany and Prague in the Czech Republic. Heino Ferch plays German detective Max, who partners with Ingrid Bolsø Berdal’s Norwegian police officer Thea to find Max’s missing nephew Victor (Jonathan Berlin) in Spitsbergen. But it soon becomes clear his disappearance may be connected to the explosive takeover of a seed company that is subject to a lot of controversy in Brussels. Thea and Max then find themselves plunged into a web of intrigue and political interests that puts Victor’s and their own lives in danger. NRK Norway and German’s ARD Degeto are the commissioning broadcasters.
