Servant of the People nominated for Seoul Award

Our hilarious sitcom Servant Of The People has been nominated in the brand new comedy category at the Seoul International Drama Awards. From Ukrainian producers Studio Kvartal 95 (the team behind hit comedy format Crack Them Up), the unlikely story of a primary school teacher who unsuspectingly becomes voted president of the country has proved a huge hit in Eastern Europe.

With the current political situation around the world, and a society increasingly influenced by Youtube and social media, the series has really struck a chord with a number of international clients showing strong interest since we acquired the rights earlier this year.

Seoul International Drama Awards winners will be announced September 8th.
