BBC Buys Thomas Vinterberg’s Debut TV Project ‘Families Like Ours’
deadline.comThe BBC has acquired Oscar-nominated director Thomas Vinterberg‘s first TV series. The corporation has picked up the apocalyptic Families Like Ours from Studiocanal.
Families Like Ours, which premiered at Venice and launched on Scandi broadcasters and Canal+ late last year, is set in Denmark in a not-too-distant future where rising water levels can no longer be ignored and the country needs to be evacuated.
As people disperse in all directions, they must bid farewell to what they love, what they know, and who they are. Shot across five countries, the series was shown at Venice and Toronto.
