We are committed to growing our relationships in this significant region with broader distribution deals across an expanded library of content as we solidify our presence in the Nordics. We're proud to deliver eOne's vast slate of international hits to audiences across the Nordics, especially as we make headway and continue to widen our focus within this territory, said Carolina den Baas, Director, Sales, eOne, who brokered the deals with several key broadcasters across the region.

As a result of these deals, the range of programming available to audiences in this key region spans multiple genres and features such fan-favorites and ratings performers as Upright, Burden of Truth, Heartland, Nurses, Moonshine, Family Law, Between Two Worlds, and La Garconne, as well as a number of premium factual specials such as The Battle For Hong Kong, Inside China and Outbreak: The Virus that Shook the World.
We're delighted to continue making significant progress in the Nordics, led by Carolina, further strengthening our position as a major player in the region, said Spyro Markesinis, Executive Vice President, Sales, EMEA and Asia.
