Sweden orders Nurses for local version
Mar 03, 2016
Sweden’s leading commercial broadcaster TV4 has ordered a local adaptation of hit Finnish drama Nurses from Bob Film. TV4 has commissioned two seasons of ten episodes, which will be called Syrror (Sisters). The first series will be broadcast later this year.
“Finally - TV4’s first medical drama! This is a story about all the big and difficult questions: life, death, love and pain. It’s a world that we sincerely hope will move our audience to both tears and laughter, and that Syrror will be nearly addictive to its viewers”, says Josefine Tengblad, head of drama at TV4 and C More.
Eccho Rights represents the Swedish version of the show and has already presold it to TV2 in Norway and DR in Denmark.
Last year, the distributor sold the rights for a UK remake to DLT and licenced the first two Finnish seasons to ProsiebenSat1, making Nurses the first Nordic series ever to air on a commercial broadcaster in Germany.

Eccho Rights to represent The Trio
We are hugely excited to announce the latest title in our Western European Drama line-up: The Trio. Currently in production for SkyShowtime, the six-part romantic drama is based on the literary phenomenon Trion, by Swedish novelist Johanna Hedman. The best-selling book took the international publishing world by storm, and we are now looking forward to the television adaptation doing the same! The Trio is produced by SF Studios in association with Night Train Media, SkyShowtime, SVT and Film in Stockholm.
The series stars August Wittgenstein (The Crown), Felix Sandman (Quick Sand), Seth Manteus (Cherries) and Rebecka Harp.
The Trio is a story about love, sex and passion – a reflection of the meaning of life and the relentless passage of time.
When middle-aged Hugo is approached by the daughter of both of his childhood loves, he is thrown back twenty years in time. Hugo is about to embark on his first years at university and has moved to Stockholm to become a resident of the Stiller family. This is where he meets Thora, the daughter of the house. This is also where he meets August, Thora's constant companion and occasional lover.
This is just the beginning of a wonderful friendship, of a whirlwind love affair, of the realisation nothing will ever be the same again. This is also the reason why Hugo never truly moved on. Will he dare to reclaim everything he has lost?
