The conditions are set for an increase in scripted adaptations, argued Tim Westcott of research organization Omdia atAccording to the research opening the “With Local Content Going Global, What’s the Future of Scripted Formats?” session on Wednesday, the U.S. has been the biggest and “most enthusiastic” buyer of scripted remakes between 2010 and 2022, with South Korea, Turkey and France also following suit. Drama remakes hit a record high in 2021.
“The French remake provided a parallel alternative to this format. All of the adaptations based on the German show had its original comedic tone, while many producers were more drawn to the French version’s dramatic take.” Choosing the right partners is also crucial, argued Danna Stern, founder of Israel’s Yes Studios behind “Your Honor” or “On the Spectrum.”
“What’s very important is the choice of the producer who will be able to make an adaptation, sell it and create a new series,” agreed Emmanuelle Guilbart, joint CEO and founder at About Premium Content, behind recent remakes of Norwegian drama “Valkyrien,” “Temple” with Mark Strong, and “Keeping Faith,” remade for TF1 as “Gloria.”
“It was the one we got involved in the most, because when you have an English-language remake, it’s a much bigger market and it can also damage the original,” he said, noting that the popularity of the original doesn’t prevent people from wanting to watch a show about their own culture.
