John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent In one of the highest profile deals announced at Series Mania, European TV giant Beta Film has boarded crime series “Cecilie Mars,” created and helmed by Christoffer Boe (“Warrior,” “Face to Face”), rated one of Denmark’s best directors, and produced by Karoline Leth (“DNA,”“The Dreamer – Becoming Karen Blixen”) for double Oscar winner Zentropa Entertainments(“In a Better World,” “Another Drink”).

Beta Film has secured international distribution rights to the series which will be presented by Boe and Leth at Series Mania’s Co-Pro Pitching Sessions on March 25 in Lille’s Grand Palais Grand Théâtre, its biggest screening venue which is still habitually packed for the Sessions. “Cecilie Mars” rates as one of the Sessions’ biggest 2025 buzz titles.

Described by Beta Film as a “fresh and twisted take on the thriller genre,” the six-part series turns on Cecilie Mars, a driven and model new police commissioner who is secretly consumed by a past trauma.

When a case hits too close to home – one of the girls on her self-defence team is raped – Mars crosses the line into vigilantism.
