SevenOne International sells hit series “Danni Lowinski” to vtm in Belgium
Munich, June, 21.
Belgium's biggest commercial network vtm has purchased the
production rights to hit series "Danni Lowinski." vtm has
commissioned the first season and the series will launch on vtm
under the same name in 2012. Sultan Sushi, a subsidiary of the
ProSiebenSat.1 company Red Arrow Entertainment, will produce the
show.
Henrik Pabst, Director International Format Acquisition and
Regional Sales Director Benelux, Scandinavia & UK: "'Danni
Lowinski' is based on a truly unique concept: a
hairdresser-turned-lawyer who fights for the underdogs with
unconventional methods. The programming executives at vtm were
taken by the outspoken lawyer right away and we cannot wait to see
the Belgian version."
In Germany, "Danni Lowinski" just finished its second successful
season on SAT.1. The series has generated audience shares of up to
17.6 percent. It has also won several awards, including the German
Television Award.
"Danni Lowinski"
Thoroughly funny and highly entertaining, "Danni Lowinski"
(produced by Markus Brunnemann/Phoenix Film and created by Marc
Terjung) depicts the tumultuous life of the unconventional main
character, Danni. A trained hairdresser, Danni decided some time
ago that she could do more than just comb hair, so she began
studying law. Now, at age 32, she has just passed her exams and is
enthusiastic about the idea of finally practicing her profession.
But when her job interview with prestigious lawyer Oliver turns
into a disaster and all of her other applications are rejected as
well, her dreams of a better life are shattered. On top of that,
Danni shares her tiny apartment with her grumpy dad, who is
confined to a wheelchair. She stubbornly defies her father's wish
that she would go back to hairdressing. Danni wants more out of
life - and decides to offer legal advice to the less fortunate in a
quite unusual setting…
