May 23, 2024
Eccho Rights has closed a number of deals for the fish-out-of-water, crime drama Granite Harbour which recently aired its second season on BBC Scotland, BBC One and iPlayer.
BBC Studios have licensed Granite Harbour for BBC First in the Netherlands, Belgium and Poland, while TV2 Denmark and TV2 Hungary have both picked up the Aberdeen-set crime caper. BritBox International in the US and Canada, and Acorn TV in Australia and New Zealand, have previously acquired the series with their deals extending to both seasons.
Season two of Granite Harbour scored impressive ratings for BBC Scotland, with the premiere increasing on the broadcaster’s average share by more than 175%.
“We are delighted to see international appetite for Granite Harbour continues to grow. The series represents what global audiences love about British drama; a thrilling crime story underpinned by a strong sense of humour and warmth,” says Lucy Roberts, Director of Sales, Nordics and English speaking world.
