Mumbai: Global independent content distributor - GoQuest Media has licensed the Polish crime drama Crusade to Walter Presents for broadcast in the UK and Ireland. This aligns with GoQuest Media’s ongoing strategy to bring the best of Central and Eastern European (CEE) dramas to an international audience.
Produced by Telewizja Poland (TVP), Crusade (13X45’) is a suspenseful police procedural following detective Jan ‘Manjaro’ Góra and his colleagues from the crime and criminal terror division of the Warsaw Metropolitan Police. The investigation into a series of celebrity murders quickly reveals a deeper, more intricate conspiracy involving an anti-system terrorist organization operating in Warsaw.
Launched in 2016, Walter Presents is part of Channel 4's streaming platform, focusing on foreign-language dramas with English subtitles. It brings award-winning international series to audiences in the UK, US, and other regions.
GoQuest Media continues to expand its role in exporting CEE content to new markets, securing deals that place Polish and regional content on prominent global platforms.
Walter Presents’ co-founder & curator, Walter Iuzzolino commented on the deal, “I have always been a fan of Polish drama, and Crusade is a perfect addition to our substantial and ever expanding slate of the best Eastern European titles on the market: it is an intoxicating cocktail of gritty and glamorous, fast pace and twisted - a brilliant show which will keep you glued to the screen”.
GoQuest Media MD Vivek Lath said, “Crusade represents the latest success in our growing portfolio of internationally distributed crime dramas from the CEE. From the outset, we recognized its potential to resonate with crime genre fans worldwide. Its gripping suspense and unpredictable twists make it a standout in our catalog. We’re thrilled that Walter Presents, known for curating high-quality international content, will now feature this exceptional series.”
GoQuest Media will present Crusade and fresh new crime dramas from their catalogue at MIPCOM later this month.
