ZDFE Lines Up French Deal For BBC Two’s The Fall

ZDF Enterprises has lined up a deal to take The Fall to France, adding another territory for the acclaimed BBC Two thriller.

Created by Allan Cubitt, the drama is set in Belfast and built around the pursuit between Gillian Anderson’s Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson and the serial killer she is hunting, Paul Spector, played by Jamie Dornan. Its distinctive structure follows both the investigator and the killer at once, letting the audience watch the net slowly close.

ZDFE, which handles international distribution for the series, has been steadily selling it into markets around the world, and the French deal extends that run into another major European territory.
