NURSES ADAPTATION IN FRANCE

Dec 16, 2019

Eccho Rights has closed a deal with Federation Entertainment in France to adapt Finnish series Nurses (Syke). The French version, H24, is currently in production for TF1. Filming just finished and the series will air early 2020. The cast includes some of France's most famous and distinguished actresses: Anne Parillaud, Barbara Cabrita, Florence Coste and Frédérique Bel. The show continues its successful run throughout Europe where it has spawned various adaptations , just recently in Slovakia.

"The scripts for Nurses are so beautifully written and well crafted that it's easy to adapt in another country. The producers from Federation said that they just had to make minor changes regarding the medical procedures but the rest was merely a translation. This proves how universal and relatable the stories are to basically any country in the world" says Nicola Söderlund, Managing Partner at Eccho Rights.
