NURSES ADAPTATION IN FRANCE
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.

Sweden orders Nurses for local version
Sweden’s leading commercial broadcaster TV4 has ordered a local adaptation of hit Finnish drama Nurses from Bob Film. TV4 has commissioned two seasons of ten episodes, which will be called Syrror (Sisters). The first series will be broadcast later this year.
“Finally - TV4’s first medical drama! This is a story about all the big and difficult questions: life, death, love and pain. It’s a world that we sincerely hope will move our audience to both tears and laughter, and that Syrror will be nearly addictive to its viewers”, says Josefine Tengblad, head of drama at TV4 and C More.
Eccho Rights represents the Swedish version of the show and has already presold it to TV2 in Norway and DR in Denmark.
Last year, the distributor sold the rights for a UK remake to DLT and licenced the first two Finnish seasons to ProsiebenSat1, making Nurses the first Nordic series ever to air on a commercial broadcaster in Germany.
